RT8471
1.2A/1A, Hysteretic, High Brightness LED Driver with
Internal Switch
General Description
Features
7V to 36V Input Voltage Range
The RT8471 is a high efficiency, continuous mode inductive
step-down converter, designed for driving single or multiple
series connected LEDs from a voltage source higher than
the LEDvoltage. It operates from an input voltage of 7V to
36V and employs hysteretic control with a high side current
sense resistor to set the constant output current.
Hysteretic Control with High Side Current Sensing
Internal N-MOSFET with 350mΩ Low RDS(ON)
1A Output Current (For TSOT-23-5 Only)
1.2A Output Current (For SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) and
MSOP-8 (Exposed Pad) Only)
Up to 97% Efficiency
The RT8471 includes an output switch and a high side
output current sensing circuit, which uses an external
resistor to set the nominal average output current. LED
brightness control is achieved with PWM dimming from
an analog or PWM input signal.

Analog or PWM Control Signal for LED Dimming
300Hz On-Board Ramp Generator
Input Under Voltage Lockout
Thermal Shutdown Protection
The RT8471 is available in a small TSOT-23-5 package or
a more thermal efficient SOP-8 (Exposed Pad) and MSOP-
8 (Exposed Pad) packages.
