The AL5801 combines a 100V N-channel MOSFET with a prebiased NPN transistor to make a simple, small footprint LED driver.
The LED current is set by an external resistor connected from R
pin (4) to GND pin (6). The internal pre-biased transistor develops
approximately 0.56V across the external resistor.
The AL5801 open-drain output can operate from 1.1V to 100V
enabling it to operate 5V to 100V power supplies without additional
components.
PWM dimming of the LED current can be achieved by driving the
BIAS pin (1) with an external, open-collector NPN transistor or
open-drain N-channel MOSFET.
The AL5801 is available in a SOT26 package and is ideal for driving
LED currents up to 350mA.
