Wide Input Voltage Range, High Efficiency Fault Tolerant LED Driver

A8515

These parts are no longer in production The device should not be purchased for new design applications. Samples are no longer available. The A8515 is a multi-output WLED driver for LCD backlighting, integrating a current-mode boost converter with internal power switch and two current sinks (up to 240mA). It operates from 5V to 40V, supports external PWM dimming, and features a low 720mV regulation voltage on current sources for improved efficiency.

Product Details

Top Features
