MAX16803 - High-Brightness LED Driver

General Description

The MAX16803 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 MAX16803 is adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in series with the LEDs.

19-0532; Rev 1; 4/09 KIT ATION EVALU E L B AVAILA www.DataSheet4U.com High-Voltage, 350mA, High-Brightness LED Driver with PWM Dimming and 5V Regulator General Description The MAX16803 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 MAX16803 is adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in series with the LEDs. A dimming input allows widerange “pulsed” PWM operation. Wave-shaping circuitry reduces EMI. The differential current-sense input increases noise immunity. The MAX16803 is well suited for applications requiring high-voltage input and is able to withstand automotive load-dump events up to 40V.
