AL8863 60V BUCK LED CONTROLLER WITH FAULT FLAG Description Pin Assignments The AL8863 is a step-down DC/DC controller designed to drive LEDs with high output current. The device operates at an input supply (Top View) voltage from 4.5V to 60V. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating OSP 1 8 CSN the need for ballast resistors. The switching frequency range of 2 FAULT DIM 7 AL8863 is from 50kHz to 1MHz. The wide operating frequency range EP allows more flexibility on component selection, and also with 3 6 NTC VIN operating up to 1MHz, it allows the use of smaller size external 4 GND 5 DRV components, hence minimizing the PCB size and driver board. SO-8EP The output current of AL8863 is set via an external resistor connected between the VIN and CSN input pins. Dimming is achieved by Applications applying a PWM signal at the DIM input pin. The soft-start time can be adjusted using an external capacitor from the DIM pin to ground.
