A1569K
Automotive LED Driver with
Integrated Hall-Effect Switch
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
• Linear LED drive current ≤150 mA set by an external
reference resistor
• High sensitivity, omnipolar Hall-effect switch for LED
on/off control
• Low component count for small size and ease of design
• Elegant fade-in/fade-out effects with adjustable duration
(optional)
• Qualified per AEC-Q100 for automotive applications
• Low dropout voltage and low supply current
• Chopper-stabilized Hall switch
The A1569K is a highly integrated solution that combines a
Hall-effectswitchwithalinear,programmablecurrentregulator,
providing up to 150 mA to drive one or more LEDs. With the
addition of only two passive components and one or more
LEDs, the A1569K forms a complete, magnetically actuated
lighting solution that is small, flexible, elegant, easy to design,
rugged, andreliable. Itisoptimizedforautomotiveinteriorand
auxilliary lighting such as map lights, glove boxes, consoles,
vanity mirrors, hood/truck/bed lights, etc.
The LED drive current is set by an external resistor; the LED is
thenactivatedbythebuilt-inHall-effectswitchandfeaturesan
adjustablefade-in/fade-outeffect.Omnipolaroperation(either
north or south pole) and high magnetic sensitivity make the
A1569Ktolerantoflargeairgapsandmechanicalmisalignment.
System assembly is easier, as the magnet can be oriented with
either pole facing the device. Chopper stabilization provides
low switchpoint drift over the operating temperature range.
The driver can also be activated via an external input for direct
control of the LED.
□ Low switchpoint drift over temperature
□ Insensitivity to physical stress
• Input pin for external LED driver control
• Slew-rate-limited LED output drive for current transient
suppression
• Ruggedness and reliability
□ Integrated voltage regulator for operation from 7 to 24 V
□ Reverse-battery protection
□ Automatic short-circuit and thermal overload
protection and recovery
□ –40ºC to 125ºC ambient temperature range
• Small 8-pin SOIC package with thermal pad
In addition to contactless operation and safe, constant-current
LED drive, reliability is further enhanced with reverse-battery
protection, thermal foldback, and automatic shutdown for
thermaloverloadandshortstoground.TheA1569Kwillprevent
damage to the system by removing LED drive current until
the short is removed and/or the chip temperature has reduced
below the thermal threshold. The driver output is slew-rate-
limited to reduce electrical noise during operation.
