AL5802
30V, ADJUSTABLE CURRENT SINK LINEAR LED DRIVER
Description
The AL5802 combines a high gain NPN transistor with a pre-biased
NPN transistor to make a simple small footprint LED driver.
The LED current is set by an external resistor connected from REXT
pin (6) to GND pin (4), the internal high gain transistor develops
approximately 0.6V across the external resistor.
The AL5802 open-collector output can operate from 0.8V to 30V
enabling it to operate from 5V to 24V power supplies without
additional components.
PWM dimming of the LED current can be achieved by either driving
the BIAS pin (2) with a low impedance voltage source, or driving the
EN pin (3) with an external open-collector NPN transistor or open-
drain N-channel MOSFET.
The AL5802 is available in a SOT26 package and is ideal for driving
20mA to 120mA LED currents.
