AL5809QEV1-XXX User Guide
15-150mA 60V Constant Current Regulator
General Description
The AL5809Q is a two terminal constant
current linear LED driver and it provides a
cost-effective solution. It offers an
excellent temperature stability 20 ppm/⁰C
and the current accuracy ±5% regulated
over a wide voltage range. The AL5809Q
simplifies the design for linear LED drivers
allowing it to be designed as a high or lowside constant current regulator without any
external components.
The AL5809Q turns on immediately and can
swing from 2.5V up to 60V enabling it drive
long LED chains. The floating ground, 60V
Voltage rating between Input and Output
pins designed to withstand the high peak
voltage incurred in DC and offline
applications.
The AL5809QEV1-XXX (from 15 to 150 mA)
is available in thermally robust POWERDI123 package with different current options,
please see ordering information section.

Note: This evaluation board provides design flexibility, multiple application circuits can be
derived in both Low and High Side Current LED configurations. The footprint of U1 is compatible
to both of PDI-123 and SOD-123 packages. In addition, it can be hooked up with use of PWM
dimming.

Connection Setup and Power-up Procedures
Current LED String Procedure to Evaluation Board in Low side current LED configuration
1. Depends on the current options, the evaluation board is as low side current LED
configuration.
2. Ensure that the DC source is switched OFF or disconnected.
3. Connect the power supply to Anode terminal of external LED string in the Low side LED
configuration.
4. Connect the Cathode terminals of external LED string to IN terminal of the board and
connect OUT wire to GND.
5. Ensure that the area around the board is clear and safe, and preferably that the board and
LEDs are enclosed in a transparent safety cover.
6. Turn on the main switch. LED string should light up and the LED current should be regulated
according to the current options of the device.
