DESCRIPTION

The AL8807AEV3, Figure 1, is a double sided evaluation board for the AL8807A step-down, or ‘buck’, LED driver with internal switch. The evaluation board is preset to drive 1A into a single LED, or multiple LEDs, the maximum number of which depends on their total forward voltage drop and the supply voltage.

• LEDs up to 1A.

• Internal 40V switch.

• Wide input voltage: 6V to 36V.

• Inherent open circuit LED protection.

• Brightness control using a DC voltage.

DEVICE APPLICATIONS

• LED flashlights.

• High Power LED driving.

• Low-voltage halogen replacement LEDs.

• Automotive lighting.

• Illuminated signs.
