AL8861 Overview
The DIODESTM AL8861 is a hysteresis-mode DC-DC step-down converter, designed for driving single or multiple series connected LEDs efficiently from a voltage source higher than the LED voltage. The device can operate from an input supply between 4.5V and 40V and provide an externally adjustable output current up to 1A for TSOT25 package and 1.5A for SOT89-5 and MSOP-8EP packages. Depending upon supply voltage and...
