AL8807
HIGH EFFICIENCY LOW 36V 1A BUCK LED DRIVER
Description
The AL8807 is a step-down DC/DC converter designed to drive LEDs with a constant current. The device can drive up to 9 LEDs, depending on the forward voltage of the LEDs, in series from a voltage source of 6V to 36V. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The AL8807 switches at frequency up to 1MHz with controlled rise and fall times to reduce EMI. This allows the use of small size external components, hence minimizing the PCB area needed.
Maximum output current of AL8807 is set via an external resistor connected between the VIN and SET input pins.
