MAX16835 - Adjustable Linear High-Brightness LED Driver

General Description

The MAX16835 current regulator operates from a 6.5V to 40V input voltage range and delivers up to a total of 350mA to one or more strings of high-brightness LEDs (HB LEDs).

The output current of the MAX16835 is adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in series with the LEDs.

19-4028; Rev 1; 5/08 High-Voltage, 350mA, Adjustable Linear High-Brightness LED Driver General Description The MAX16835 current regulator operates from a 6.5V to 40V input voltage range and delivers up to a total of 350mA to one or more strings of high-brightness LEDs (HB LEDs). The output current of the MAX16835 is adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in series with the LEDs. An enable input allows widerange “pulsed” dimming. Wave-shaping circuitry reduces EMI. The differential current-sense input increases noise immunity. The MAX16835 is well suited for applications requiring high-voltage input and is able to withstand automotive load-dump events up to 40V. An on-board pass element minimizes external components while providing ±3.5% output current accuracy.
