A8521 Datasheet High Efficiency Fault Tolerant LED Driver

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

The A8521 is a multi-output white LED driver for small-size LCD backlighting.

It integrates a current-mode boost converter with internal power switch and four current sinks.

The boost converter can drive up to 48 LEDs, 12 LEDs per string, at 80 mA.

Overview

A8521 Wide Input Voltage Range, High Efficiency Fault Tolerant LED.

Key Features

  • AEC-Q100 Qualified.
  • Wide input voltage range of 5 to 40 V for start/stop, cold crank and load dump requirements.
  • Fully integrated LED current sinks and boost converter with 60 V DMOS.
  • Sync function to synchronize boost converter switching frequency up to 2.3 MHz, allowing operation above the AM band.
  • Excellent input voltage transient response.
  • Single resistor primary OVP minimizes VOUT leakage.
