DESCRIPTION
The A6274 and A6284 are programmable linear current
regulator ICs for driving automotive LED arrays. The LED
current is programmed by external resistors. These devices
sink up to 60 mA (A6274) or 120 mA (A6284), from each of
six LED pins, to drive strings of high-brightness LEDs. LED
pins can be paralleled to drive even higher current LED strings.
Current settings are typically accurate to 2%, while typical
matching between LED strings is 0.8%.
LED light output can be adjusted by PWM dimming. The ICs
provide an internal PWM dimming circuit that is programmed
by external resistors for PWM frequency and duty cycle. It
can also accept an external PWM signal. Multiple ICs can be
configured in parallel for larger lighting systems. An internal
FULL (V
DR
> 3.6 V) option is provided to override the PWM-
dimming ratio for full LED current.
LED current derating with temperature and programmable
VIN levels allows operation over a wide range of operating
conditions.

DESCRIPTION (continued)
Linear Current Regulator and Controller
for Automotive LED Arrays
A GATE pin is provided to drive an external P-channel MOSFET,
which serves as an active ballast resistor to reduce the heat dissipation
within the IC package. It also serves as an input disconnect switch
in the event of an LED string short-to-ground fault.
The A6274 and A6284 provide a non-latching option while the
A6274-1 and A6284-1 provide a latching option.
