AL5812EV3 User Guide
150mA, 60V Low-side Adjustable Linear LED Driver
General Description
The AL5812 is an adjustable Linear LED
driver offering excellent temperature
stability and output handling capability.
The AL5812 simplifies the design of linear
and isolated or non-isolated LED drivers by
setting the LED current with standard value
resistors.
The AL5812 has an open drain output that
can swing from 1V up to 60V enabling it
drive long LED chains. Its low 0.5V RSET pin
is outside of the LED current path and so
accuracy is maintained while minimizing
the required overhead to regulate the LED
current. This reduces its power dissipation
when compared to traditional linear LED
drivers. This makes it ideal for driving LEDs
up to 150mA. Longer LED chains can be
driven by tapping VCC from the chain,
where the chain voltage may exceed 60V.
The AL5812EV3 evaluation board provides
U-DFN3030-6 package.
