Overview

  • +6.5V to +40V Operating Range
  • Adjustable LED Current (35mA to 350mA)
  • ±3.5% Output Current Accuracy
  • Integrated Pass Element with Low-Dropout Voltage (0.55V typ)
  • Output Short-Circuit Protection
  • +5V Regulated Output with 4mA Source Capability
  • Thermal Shutdown
  • Differential LED Current Sense
  • High-Voltage Enable Pin for Dimming Interface
  • Low Shutdown Supply Current (35µA typ)
  • Low 200mV Current-Sense Reference Reduces Power Losses
  • Wave-Shaped Edges Reduce Radiated EMI During PWM Dimming
  • Available in Small, Thermally Enhanced, 5mm x 5mm, 16-Pin TQFN Package
  • -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range

The MAX16835 current regulator operates from a 6.5V to 40V input voltage range and delivers up to a total of 350mA to one or more strings of high-brightness LEDs (HB LEDs). The output current of the MAX16835 is adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in series with the LEDs. An enable input allows wide-range "pulsed" dimming. Wave-shaping circuitry reduces EMI. The differential current-sense input increases noise immunity. The MAX16835 is well suited for applications requiring high-voltage input and is able to withstand automotive load-dump events up to 40V. An on-board pass element minimizes external components while providing ±3.5% output current accuracy. Additional features include a 5V regulated output and short-circuit and thermal protection.

The MAX16835 is available in a thermally enhanced, 5mm x 5mm, 16-pin TQFN package and is specified over the automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
