NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN USE AL8860Q OR AL8861Q AL8806Q HIGH EFFICIENCY 30V 1.6A AUTOMOTIVE GRADE BUCK LED DRIVER Description Pin Assignments The AL8806Q is a step-down DC/DC converter designed to drive LEDs with a constant current. The device can drive up to 8 LEDs, depending on the forward voltage of the LEDs, in series from a voltage source of 6V to 30V. The AL8806Q switches at frequencies up to 1MHz. This allows the use of small size external components, hence minimizing the PCB area needed. Maximum output current of AL8806Q is set via an external resistor connected between the V and SET input pins. Dimming is achieved IN by applying either a DC voltage or a PWM signal at the CTRL input pin. An input voltage of 0.4V or lower at CTRL switches off the output MOSFET simplifying PWM dimming. The AL8806Q has been qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 and is Automotive Grade supporting PPAPs Features Applications LED driving current up to 1.5A Automotive LED Lamps Better than 5% accuracy Multi-Die LED Driver High efficiency up to 98% Optimally controlled switching speeds Operating input voltage from 6V to 30V PWM/DC input for dimming control Built-in output open-circuit protection Automotive Grade with AEC-Q100 Qualification MSOP-8EP: Available in Green Molding Compound (No Br, Sb) Totally Lead-Free & Fully RoHS Compliant (Notes 1 & 2) Halogen and Antimony Free.

These are stress ratings only functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions exceeding those indicated in this specification is not implied. Device reliability may be affected by exposure 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. 2 of 14 March 2021 AL8806Q Diodes Incorporated www.diodes.com Document number: DS43563 Rev. 2 - 3
