This application note presents a reference design for a rear combination lamp (RCL) LED driver in a 3-series, 3-parallel (3S3P) configuration. Using the MAX16823 linear driver and external BJTs, this design provides 200mA per string as well as enhanced heat dissipation. Also included is PWM dimming circuitry for tail-light inputs and full brightness for brake-light inputs. Double-battery and load-dump conditions have been taken into consideration.
This is a reference design for a SEPIC/linear LED-display backlight driver for eight parallel strings of 8 WLEDs (white LEDs) at 70mA/string. The dimming ratio is 4000:1. The input voltage is 16V to 36V with 50V transients. The design combines a SEPIC switching power supply with adaptive feedback and linear current sinks for high dimming ratios. The MAX16809 16-channel LED driver is featured.
This reference design is for a buck-boost LED driver. The MAX16834 current-mode high-brightness LED driver is featured, and the MAX16834 EV (evaluation) kit is used to implement the design. The application note shows the design specifications, schematic, bill of materials (BOM), and performance data.
The MAX16974/MAX16975/MAX16976 high-performance DC-DC converters are standard buck controllers designed for automotive applications. This application note explains how to optimize the layout of these ICs. An example layout is provided at the end of the document.
This reference design describes how to design hardware for a temperature-based heating system for a vehicle that has an engine preheater installed, based on ambient temperature and a preordained engine start time. This system can also be used for other purposes, such as turning on a storage heater if the ambient temperature falls below a preordained value.
