High-Voltage, Linear High-Brightness LED
Driver with Open-LED Fault Detect
General Description
The MAX16839 programmable current regulator operates
from a 5V to 40V input voltage range and features an
open-drain, constant-current-sink output capable of sink-
ing up to 100mA. The MAX16839 is well suited for auto-
motive applications and other applications that require a
general-purpose linear LED driver. The device directly
withstands automotive load-dump events of up to 45V.
An on-board pass element minimizes external compo-
nent count while providing
Q5%
output current accuracy.
The MAX16839 includes a dimming input that controls
the duty cycle of the output current, allowing a wide LED
dimming range. In addition, the dimming input functions
as an on/off control of the output current. In multiple LED-
string applications, the dimming input synchronizes the
LED current-sink turn-on, ensuring simultaneous bright-
ness in LED strings.
Additional features include thermal and open-LED
protection and an open-LED fault-detection output. In
multiple LED string applications where all FLTS pins are
connected together, an open-LED detection in one LED
string turns off all the strings simultaneously. Open-LED
protection also features fault memory, to avoid LED flash-
ing during subsequent power-up cycles.
The MAX16839 is available in thermally enhanced, 6–pin
TDFN-EP and 8-pin SO-EP packages and is specified
over the -40NC to +125NC automotive temperature range.

A 51I resistor is connected between SINK and a 6.5V supply to reduce power dissipation during the factory test.
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25NC. Limits over temperature are guaranteed by design.
Guaranteed by design and not production tested.
Internal switch resistance is measured with I
SINK
= 0.95 x I
SINK0
(I
SINK0 is
I
SINK
at V
SINK
= 0.9V).
Supply turn-on delay will be measured by rising supply in 6Fs from GND to 12V, and measurement starts when V
IN
= 4V
(typical UVLO).
Note 7:
DIM is kept high to avoid delay due to high capacitance from test setup. In applications, a 30FA pullup current charges
parasitic capacitance at DIM with negligible delay. Ensure that unnecessary capacitance is not added at DIM during the
PCB layout.
