Description
NV78825−0
AWLYYWWG
The NCV78825 is a single−chip and high efficient Synchronous
Buck Dual LED Driver designed for automotive front lighting
applications like high beam, low beam, DRL (daytime running light),
turn indicator, fog light, static cornering, etc. The NCV78825 is in
particular designed for high current LEDs and provides a complete
solution to drive 2 LED strings of up−to 60 V. It includes 2
independent current regulators for the LED strings and required
diagnostic features for automotive front lighting with a minimum of
external components – the chip doesn’t need any external sense
resistor for the buck current regulation. The available output current
and voltages can be customized per individual LED string. When more
than 2 LED channels are required on 1 module, then 2, 3 or more
devices NCV78825 can be combined; also with NCV787x3 devices –
the predecessor of the NCV78825. Thanks to the SPI
programmability, one single hardware configuration can support
various application platforms.
