AL8866
BUCK-BOOST, BOOST, BUCK AND SEPIC LED CONTROLLER
Description
The AL8866 is a Buck-Boost, Boost, Buck, and SEPIC (single-ended primary-inductance converter) DC-switching controller designed to drive an external MOSFET for high-power LED applications. The AL8866 operates within a wide input power supply range from 4.7V to 85V.
Based on a fixed-frequency, peak current-mode control architecture, the device incorporates spread spectrum frequency modulation and achieves low EMI performance.
The AL8866 modulates LED currents with analog or PWM dimming techniques. The analog dimming response, over a 100:1 linear range, is obtained by varying the voltage at the DIM pin. PWM dimming is achieved by directly modulating the same DIM pin with the desired duty cycle.
