With a wide input voltage range and integrated power MOSFET the AL8862 buck LED driver is intended for developers of LED lighting drive circuits looking to minimise board space and reduce BoM cost while providing analogue and PWM dimming functions..
An external control pin accepts either an analogue or PWM signal to add dimming capabilities, which brings an additional dimension to connected lighting, such as colour mixing. The integrated MOSFET is rated at 60V, making the AL8862 a viable solution for higher power output applications.
The MOSFET also has an ultra-low Rds(on) of just 0.4Ω, which delivers high efficiency while minimising the need for external components. Comprehensive protection against possible fault conditions caused by short or open circuits is also included, along with over-temperature protection.
