3 Description

The LP8868-Q1 family is a non-synchronous multitopology

solution with 4.5V to 65V wide input range.

By integrating the low-side NMOS switch, the device

is capable of driving LEDs with high power density

and high efficiency. The family also supports common

cathode connection and single layer PCB design. The

switching frequency is configurable from 100kHz to

2.2MHz with an optional spread spectrum feature for

better EMI performance.

The LP8868-Q1 family supports four dimming options,

including analog, PWM, hybrid and flexible dimming.

Each dimming method can be configured through

the PWM and ADIM input pins by means of simple

high and low signals. The family adopts an adaptive

off-time current mode control along with smart and

accurate sampling to enable inductive fast dimming

(IFD) and achieve high dimming accuracy.

The LP8868-Q1 family also provides multiple

systematic protections, including LED open and short,

sense resistor open and short, configurable thermal

foldback and thermal shutdown. Fault output will

send out acknowledge signals as soon as any fault

condition is detected.
