LED DRVR 12V/15V/18V 8-Pin uMAX

The MAX16801A/B/MAX16802A/B high-brightness (HB) LED driver-control ICs contain all the circuitry required for the design of wide-input-voltage-range LED drivers for general lighting and display applications. The MAX16801 is well suited for universal input (rectified 85VAC to 265VAC) LED drivers, while the MAX16802 is intended for low-input-voltage (10.8VDC to 24VDC) LED drivers. When the LED current needs to be tightly regulated, an additional on-board error amplifier with 1% accurate reference can be utilized. A wide dimming range can be implemented by using low-frequency PWM dimming. The MAX16801/MAX16802 feature an input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for programming the input-supply start voltage, and to ensure proper operation during brownout conditions. The MAX16801 has an internal-bootstrap undervoltage lockout circuit with a large hysteresis that simplifies offline LED driver designs. The MAX16802 does not have this internal bootstrap circuit and can be biased directly from a +12V rail. The 262kHz fixed switching frequency is internally trimmed, allowing for optimization of the magnetic and filter components, resulting in a compact, cost-effective LED driver. The MAX16801A/MAX16802A are offered with 50% maximum duty cycle.The MAX16801B/MAX16802B are offered with 75% maximum duty cycle. These devices are available in an 8-pin µMAX package and operate over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
