MAXIM MAX16832A, MAX16832C User Manual
General Description
The MAX16832A/MAX16832C step-down constant-current high-brightness LED (HB LED) drivers provide a
cost-effective design solution for automotive
interior/exterior lighting, architectural and ambient lighting, LED bulbs, and other LED illumination applications.
The MAX16832A/MAX16832C operate from a +6.5V to
+65V input voltage range. A high-side current-sense
resistor adjusts the output current up to 700mA, and a
dedicated pulse-width modulation (PWM) input
enables pulsed LED dimming over a wide range of
brightness levels.
These devices are well suited for applications requiring
a wide input voltage range. The high-side current sensing and an integrated current-setting circuitry minimize
the number of external components while delivering an
average output current with ±3% accuracy. A hysteretic
control method ensures excellent input supply rejection
and fast response during load transients and PWM dimming. The MAX16832A allows 10% current ripple, and
the MAX16832C allows 30% current ripple. Both
devices operate up to a 2MHz switching frequency,
thus allowing the use of small-sized components.
The MAX16832A/MAX16832C offer an analog dimming
feature that reduces the output current by applying an
external DC voltage below the internal 2V threshold voltage from TEMP_I to GND. TEMP_I also sources 25µA to
a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor connected between TEMP_I and GND, thus providing an
analog thermal-foldback feature that reduces the LED
current when the temperature of the LED string exceeds
a specified temperature point. Additional features
include thermal-shutdown protection.
The MAX16832A/MAX16832C operate over the -40°C to
+125°C automotive temperature range and are available
in a thermally enhanced 8-pin SO package.

DIM
= VIN, TA= TJ= -40°C to +125°C, unless otherwise noted. Typical values are at TA = +25°C.)
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 1: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial
