EZBuck™ 1.8A High Efficiency
Constant Current Regulator for LEDs
AOZ1081
General Description
The AOZ1081 is a high efficiency, simple to use, 1.8A
buck regulator for White LED. The AOZ1081 works from
a 4.5V to 16V input voltage range, and provides up to
1.8A of continuous output current with an output voltage
adjustable down to 0.25V.
The AOZ1081 comes in an SO-8 package and is rated
over a -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range.

Pin Function
Power ground. Electrically needs to be connected to AGND.
Supply voltage input. When V
IN
rises above the UVLO threshold the device starts up.
Reference connection for controller section. Also used as thermal connection for controller
section. Electrically needs to be connected to PGND.
LED Current Feedback Input. The FB voltage is regulated at 250mV in normal operation. The FB
sense resistor sets the nominal LED current
External loop compensation pin.
The enable pin is active high. Connect EN pin to V
IN
if not used. Do not leave the EN pin floating.
PWM output connection to inductor. Thermal connection for output stage.
