MAX25611A/MAX25611B/
MAX25611C/MAX25611D
Automotive High-Voltage HB LED Controller
General Description
The MAX25611A/MAX25611B/MAX25611C/MAX25611D
Benefits and Features
● Automotive Ready: AEC-Q100 Qualified
are single-channel HBLED drivers for automo-
tive front light applications such as high beam,
low beam, daytime running light (DRL), turn
indicator, fog light, and other LED lights. It can take an
input voltage from 5V to 36V and can drive a string of
LEDs with a maximum output voltage of 65V.
● Integration Minimizes BOM for High-Brightness
LED Driver
• Integrated pMOS Dimming FET Gate Driver Allows
Single-Wire Connection to LED String
• PWM, Analog-to-PWM and Analog Dimming
• Integrated High-Side, Current-Sense Amplifier
• 12-Pin SWTQFN-EP Package
The MAX25611A/B/C/D sense output current at
the high side of the LED string. High-side current
sensing is required to protect for shorts from the output
to the ground or battery input. It is also the most flex-
ible scheme for driving LEDs, allowing boost, high-side
buck, SEPIC mode, or buck-boost mode configura-
tions. The PWM input provides LED dimming ratios of
up to 5000:1, and the REFI input provides additional
analog dimming capability in the MAX25611A/B/C/D.
The MAX25611A/B/C/D have built-in spread-spectrum
modulation for improved electromagnetic compat-
ibility performance. The MAX25611A/B/C/D can also
be used in zeta and Cuk converter configurations if it is
necessary in some applications.
● Flexible Application Configurations
• +5V to +36V Wide Input Voltage Range with a
Maximum +65V Boost Output
• Boost, Buck-Boost, High-Side Buck, SEPIC, Zeta,
and Cuk Single-Channel LED Drivers
● Protection Features and Wide Temperature Range
Increase System Reliability
• Short-Circuit, Overvoltage, and Thermal Protection
• -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range

Simplified Application Circuit
The MAX25611A/B/C/D are available in a space-saving
12-pin SWTQFN-EP package. They are specified to oper-
ate over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature
range. The switching frequency is internally set at 350kHz
for the MAX25611A/MAX25611C and 2.2MHz for the
MAX25611B/MAX25611D.
Applications
● Automotive Exterior Lighting
● High Beam/Low Beam/Signal/Position Lights
● Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)
● Fog Lights and Adaptive Front-Light Assemblies
● Head-Up Displays
● Commercial, Industrial, and Architectural Lighting
