General Description

The MAX16822A/MAX16822B step-down constant-cur-
rent high-brightness LED (HB LED) drivers provide a
cost-effective design solution for automotive
interior/exterior lighting, architectural and ambient light-
ing, LED bulbs, and other LED illumination applications.

The MAX16822A/MAX16822B operate from a +6.5V to
+65V input-voltage range. A high-side current-sense
resistor adjusts the output current up to 350mA and a
dedicated pulse-width modulation (PWM) input enables
pulsed LED dimming over a wide range of brightness
levels.

These devices are well suited for applications requiring
a wide input-voltage range. The high-side current sens-
ing and an integrated current-setting circuitry minimize
the number of external components while delivering an
average output current with ±3% accuracy. A hysteretic
control method ensures excellent input supply rejection
and fast response during load transients and PWM dim-
ming. The MAX16822A allows 10% current ripple and
the MAX16822B allows 30% current ripple. Both
devices operate up to a switching frequency of 2MHz,
thus allowing the use of small-sized components.

The MAX16822A/MAX16822B offer an analog dimming
feature that reduces the output current by applying an
external DC voltage below the internal 2V threshold volt-
age from TEMP_I to GND. TEMP_I also sources 25µA to
a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor con-
nected between TEMP_I and GND, thus providing an
analog thermal-foldback feature that reduces the LED
current when the temperature of the LED string exceeds
a specified temperature point.

An additional feature includes thermal-shutdown pro-
tection that turns off the LX driver when the junction
temperature exceeds +165°C.

The MAX16822A/MAX16822B operate over the -40°C to
+125°C automotive temperature range and are available
in an 8-pin SO package.
