RT8494
High Voltage High Current LED Driver Controller for
Buck, Boost or Buck-Boost Topology
General Description
Features
High Voltage Capability : VIN up to 36V, LED Sensing
Threshold Common Mode Voltage up to 90V
Buck, Boost or Buck-Boost Operation
The RT8494 is a current mode PWM controller designed
to drive an external MOSFET for high current LED
applications. With a current sense amplifier threshold of
190mV, the LED current is programmable with one
external current sense resistor. With the maximum
operating input voltage of 36V and output voltage up to
90V, the RT8494 is ideal for Buck, Boost or Buck-Boost
operation.
Programmable Switching Frequency
Easy Dimming Control : Analog or Digital
Converting to Analog with One External Capacitor
Programmable Soft-Start to Avoid Inrush Current
Programmable Over-Voltage Protection
VIN Under-Voltage Lockout and Thermal Shutdown
AEC-Q100 Compliance
With the switching frequency programmable over 100kHz
to 1MHz, the external inductor and capacitors can be small
while maintaining high efficiency.
Applications
Dimming can be done by either analog or digital. The built-
in clamping comparator and filter allow easy low noise
analog dimming conversion from digital signal with only
one external capacitor.
