The MAX16801BEUA+T is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It is specifically designed as a high-brightness LED driver, commonly used in automotive lighting applications. This IC offers a multitude of features that make it a suitable choice for various LED driver applications. Here's an overview of its key features:
1. High Integration: The MAX16801BEUA+T integrates a full-bridge driver, an accurate voltage regulator, and various protection features into a single package. This high level of integration simplifies the design process and reduces the component count in LED driver circuits.
2. Wide Voltage Range: The IC supports a wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 65V. This makes it compatible with a broad range of power supply systems, including automotive applications requiring high voltage tolerance.
3. PWM Dimming and Analog Dimming: The MAX16801BEUA+T supports both pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming and analog dimming control. PWM dimming offers precise control of LED brightness by rapidly turning the LEDs on and off. Analog dimming, on the other hand, allows for continuous current adjustment using a control signal.
4. Accurate Current Regulation: With a built-in regulation current sense amplifier, this IC enables accurate current regulation of the LED strings. It ensures consistent brightness across multiple LEDs, reducing variations and improving overall performance
