Diodes Incorporated AL8891Q Automotive Synchronous Buck LED Driver

Diodes Incorporated AL8891Q Automotive Synchronous Buck LED Driver is an easy-to-use synchronous step-down DC-DC LED driver with a high-side current sense capable of driving up to 2A of constant current from an input voltage ranging from 4.5V to 65V. Optimizing high efficiency, the AL8891Q provides a high switching frequency of up to 2.5MHz, allowing a smaller inductor size and compact form factor solution. The pin arrangement allows a simple, optimum PCB layout. Constant on-time control achieves simple control-loop compensation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting with a fast dynamic response.

Features such as fault flag, PWM/analog dimming, internal soft start, and shutdown provide a flexible and easy-to-use platform for various applications. Discontinuous conduction and automatic frequency reduction at light loads improve light-load efficiency. Protection features include thermal shutdown, VIN and VCC undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, output open and short circuit protection for the LED, and external component open/short protection. The Diodes Incorporated AL8891Q LED driver is available in a thermally enhanced TSSOP16EP package.
