The MAX16823 three-channel LED driver operates from a
5.5V to 40V input voltage range and delivers up to 70mA
per channel to one or more strings of high-brightness
LEDs (HB LEDs). Each channel's current is programmable
using an external current-sense resistor in series with the
LEDs. Three DIM inputs allow a wide range of independent
pulsed dimming in addition to providing the on and
off control of the outputs. Wave-shaping circuitry reduces
EMI while providing fast turn-on and turn-off times.
The MAX16823 is well suited for automotive applications
requiring a high-voltage input and is able to withstand
load-dump events up to 45V. On-board pass elements
minimize external components while providing ±5% LED
current accuracy. Additional features include an active-high,
open-drain LEDGOOD output for open LED detection,
a +3.4V (±5%) regulated output with 4mA output
current capability, short-circuit and thermal protections.
The MAX16823 is available in thermally enhanced 5mm x 5mm, 16-pin TQFN-EP and 16–pin TSSOP-EP packages and is specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.
