Allegro Microsystems A80601

Beschreibung

The A80601 is a multi-output LED driver for automotive applications such as exterior lighting, heads-up display, and mid-size LCD backlighting. It implements a current-mode boost/SEPIC converter with gate driver for external N-channel MOSFET.The A80601 provides four integrated current sinks driving up to 210 mA per string. Multiple sinks can be paralleled together to achieve higher LED currents up to 840 mA. The IC operates from single power supply from 4.5 to 40 V; once started, it can continue to operate down to 4 V. This allows it to withstand stop/start, cold crank, and load dump conditions encountered in automotive systems.The A80601 can control LED brightness through an external PWM signal. By using the patented Pre-Emptive Boost control,an LED brightness contrast ratio of 15,000:1 can be achieved using PWM dimming at 200 Hz. A higher ratio of 150,000:1 is possible when using a combination of PWM and analog dimming.
