The AP8802H is a step-down DC/DC converter designed to drive
LEDs with a constant current. The device can drive up to thirteen
LEDs, depending on the forward voltage of the LEDs, in series from
a voltage source of 8V to 60V. Series connection of the LEDs
provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and
eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The AP8802H switches at
frequency up to 700kHz. This allows the use of small size external
components, hence minimizing the PCB area needed.
Maximum output current of AP8802H is set via an external resistor
connected between the V
achieved by applying either a DC voltage or a PWM signal at the
CTRL input pin. An input voltage of 0.2V or lower at CTRL shuts
down the output at SW and puts the device into a low-current
standby state.

• Input voltage of 0.2V or lower forces the device into low current standby mode and shuts off the output.
• A PWM signal (driven by an open-drain/collector source) allows the output current to be adjusted over a wide
range up to 100%.
• An analog voltage between 0.3V and 2.5V adjusts the output current between 24% and 200% of the current
set by 0.2V/R

Caution: Stresses greater than the 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' specified above, may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only; functional operation of the device at conditions between maximum recommended operating conditions and absolute maximum ratings is not
implied. Device reliability may be affected byexposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time.
Semiconductor devices are ESD sensitive and may be damaged by exposure to ESD events. Suitable ESD precautions should be taken when
handling and transporting these devices.
Notes: 6. For 100% brightness either leave floating or connect to 1.25V relative to GND.
7. AP8802H will operate at higher frequencies but accuracy will be affected due to propagation delays.
8. For most applications the LED current will be within 5% over the duty cycle range specified. Duty cycle accuracy is also dependent on
propagation delay. Smaller size inductors can be used but LED current accuracy may be greater than 8% at extremes of duty cycle. This is most
noticeable at low duty cycles (less than 0.1) or when the input voltage is high and only one LED is being driven.
