AL8116
FLEXIBLE 0 TO 10V DIMMING SIGNAL INTERFACE CONTROLLER
Description
Pin Assignments
The AL8116 is a flexible dimming signal interface controller that can
convert the three different inputs of dimmer type including 0 to 10V
DC linear dimming, 0 to 100% duty cycle PWM (pulse width
modulation) signal and a simple resistive potentiometer to an output
PWM signal. It is easy to provide an isolation dimming control via an
opto-coupler to the primary side LED driver.

The AL8116 has a wide input voltage range from 10V to 56V. The
DIM pin of the AL8116 can output an adjustable accurate bias current
that make it suit for both active and passive 0 to 10V dimmers,
meanwhile potentiometers. The AL8116 output duty cycle accuracy is
typically ±2.5% and the minimum output duty cycle can be set through
SOT26 (Type CJ)
the CLAMP pin resistor.
The AL8116 has an internal auto-recoverable over-temperature-
protection.
The AL8116 is available in SOT26 (Type CJ) package to minimize
PCB space as well as external component count.
