Description
The
ALED6000
is a step down monolithic switching regulator designed to source up
to 3 A DC current for high power LED driving. The wide input voltage range makes
the
ALED6000
the ideal choice for automotive systems. The 250 mV typical RSENSE
voltage drop enhances the efficiency performance. Digital dimming is implemented
by driving the dedicated DIM pin.
The adjustable current limitation, designed to select the inductor RMS current
accordingly with the nominal output LEDs current, and the switching frequency
adjustability make the size of the application compact. Pulse-by-pulse current
sensing, improved by digital frequency scaling, implements an effective constant
current protection over the different application conditions. The embedded switch-
over feature on the VBIAS pin maximizes the efficiency. Multiple devices can
be synchronized sharing the SYNCH pin to prevent beating noise in low noise
applications and the input current RMS value to be reduced.
