AL8862
60V 1A STEP-DOWN LED DRIVER
Description
Pin Assignments
The DIODESTM AL8862 is a step-down DC/DC converter designed to
drive LEDs with a constant current. The AL8862 operates with an
input supply voltage from 5V to 60V and provides an externally-
adjustable output current up to 1A. Series connection of the LEDs
provides identical LED currents, resulting in uniform brightness and
eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The AL8862 switches at
frequencies up to 1MHz. This allows the use of smaller-sized external
components, hence minimizing the PCB size.

The AL8862 integrates the power switch and a high-side output
current-sensing circuit. Maximum output current of the AL8862 is set
via an external resistor connected between the VIN and SET input
pins. Dimming is achieved by applying either a DC voltage or a PWM
signal at the CTRL input pin. The soft-start time can be adjusted
using an external capacitor from the CTRL pin to ground. An input
voltage of 0.3V or lower at CTRL pin will shut down the power switch.
