Allegro MicroSystems A6260
The A6260 is a linear programmable current regulator providing up to 350 mA for driving high-brightness LEDs. The LED current, accurate to 4%, is set by a single low-power sense resistor. For automotive applications, optimum performance is achieved when driving between 1 and 3 LEDs at currents up to 350 mA.| Part No. | A6260 |

DESCRIPTION
Driving LEDs with constant current ensures safe operation with maximum possible light output. The low dropout voltage of the A6260 allows a single white LED to be driven safely, at full current, with a supply voltage down to 6 V. An enable input allows PWM dimming and can be used to enable low-current sleep mode. The rate of change of current during PWM switching is limited to reduce EMI. Overcurrent detection is provided to protect the LEDs and the A6260 during short-to-supply or short-to-ground at any LED terminal. The integrated temperature monitor can be used to reduce the LED drive current if the chip temperature exceeds the thermal limit.
