General Description
The MAX16801A/B/MAX16802A/B high-brightness (HB)
LED driver-control ICs contain all the circuitry required
for the design of wide-input-voltage-range LED drivers
for general lighting and display applications. The
MAX16801 is well suited for universal input (rectified
85VAC to 265VAC) LED drivers, while the MAX16802 is
intended for low-input-voltage (10.8VDC to 24VDC) LED
drivers.
When the LED current needs to be tightly regulated, an
additional on-board error amplifier with 1% accurate ref-
erence can be utilized. A wide dimming range can be
implemented by using low-frequency PWM dimming.
The MAX16801/MAX16802 feature an input undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) for programming the input-supply start
voltage, and to ensure proper operation during brownout
conditions. The MAX16801 has an internal-bootstrap
undervoltage lockout circuit with a large hysteresis that
simplifies offline LED driver designs. The MAX16802 does
not have this internal bootstrap circuit and can be biased
directly from a +12V rail.
The 262kHz fixed switching frequency is internally
trimmed, allowing for optimization of the magnetic and fil-
ter components, resulting in a compact, cost-effective
LED driver. The MAX16801A/MAX16802A are offered with
50% maximum duty cycle. The MAX16801B/MAX16802B
are offered with 75% maximum duty cycle. These devices
are available in an 8-pin µMAX
®
package and operate
over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
