The ZXLD1366 is a continuous mode inductive step-down
converter, designed for driving single or multiple series connected
LEDs efficiently from a voltage source higher than the LED voltage.
The device operates from an input supply between 6V and 60V and
provides an externally adjustable output current of up to 1A.
The ZXLD1366 has been qualified to AECQ100 Grade 1 enabling
operation in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.
The ZXLD1366 uses a high-side output current sensing circuit
which uses an external resistor to set the nominal average output
current. The output current can be adjusted above, or below the set
value, by applying an external control signal to the 'ADJ' pin.
Enhanced output current dimming resolution can be achieved by
applying a PWM signal to the ‘ADJ’ pin.
Soft-start can be forced using an external capacitor from the ADJ
pin to ground. Applying a voltage of 0.2V or lower to the ADJ pin
turns the output off and switches the device into a low current
standby state.

Exposed Pad (EP) - connected to device substrate.
To improve thermal impedance of package the EP must be connected to power
ground but should not be used as the 0V (GND) current path.
It can be left floating but must not be connected to any other voltage other than
0V.
Note: 4 All voltages unless otherwise stated are measured with respect to GND.

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.

Caution: 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.
The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharge through a 1.5k resistor pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged directly
into each pin.

heating due to increased on-resistance. Tested at 7V guaranteed for 6V by design.
