Product Details

The MAX25606 6-switch matrix manager IC for automotive lighting applications includes a 6-switch array for bypassing individual LEDs in a single- or dual-string application. It features six individually controlled n-channel MOSFET switches with each switch having an on-resistance of 0.2Ω and rated to withstand 16V. A single current source can be used to power all the LEDs connected in series. Individual LEDs can be dimmed by turning on and off the bypass switches across each LED. The device can also be configured in two string applications with three switches in series per string. Each switch can be connected across one, two, or three LEDs in series. It also allows for parallel connection of two switches to bypass high-current LEDs. The IC also includes an internal charge pump that powers the gate drive for the switches.

The IC features a universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) communication interface. Each switch can be turned on, turned off, or PWM modulated with 12 bits of PWM duty cycle adjustment. Transitions between two different PWM settings can either happen instantly or a logarithmic fade transition can be applied. The logarithmic fade algorithm is built into the device and only requires a single software command. The IC features open-LED protection as well as open and short LED fault reporting through the serial interface. The device is available in a 20-pin 4x4mm side wettable TQFN and a 20-pin thin shrink small-outline package (TSSOP) with exposed pad. The device is AEC-Q100 grade 1 qualified and designed to operate over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
