AL5873
55V/250mA THREE-CHANNEL LINEAR LED DRIVER
Description
Pin Assignments
The AL5873 is a three-channel linear LED driver with PWM dimming
and analog dimming control. Each channel can drive up to 250mA
with a total driving current up to 750mA. The LED channel current of
the AL5873 can be set through two reference resistors connected to
the REF1 and REF2 pins.

The AL5873 monitors the temperature and reduces the LED current if
the chip temperature exceeds the threshold temperature. Moreover,
the input under voltage lock-out (UVLO), LED string open/short
protection, over temperature protection (OTP), and fault indicator
(FAULTB) are designed to improve system robustness.
