30V, ADJUSTABLE CURRENT SINK LINEAR LED DRIVER
Description
Pin Assignments
The AL5802 combines a high gain NPN transistor with a pre-biased
NPN transistor to make a simple small footprint LED driver.
(Top View)
The LED current is set by an external resistor connected from REXT
pin (6) to GND pin (4), the internal high gain transistor develops
approximately 0.6V across the external resistor.

The AL5802 open-collector output can operate from 0.8V to 30V
enabling it to operate from 5V to 24V power supplies without
additional components.

Application Information
The AL5802 has been designed for driving low current LEDs with typical
LED current of 20mA to 100mA. It provides a cost effective way for
driving low current LEDs compared with more complex switching
regulator solutions. Furthermore, it reduces the PCB board area of the
solution as there is no need for external components like inductors,
capacitors and switching diodes.
Figure 14 shows a typical application circuit diagram for driving an LED
or string of LEDs. The NPN transistor Q1 measures the LED current by
sensing the voltage across an external resistor REXT. Q1 uses its VBE as
reference to set the voltage across REXT and controls the base current
into Q2. Q2 operates in linear mode to regulate the LED current. The
LED current is
ILED = VBE(Q1) / REXT
From this, for any required LED current the necessary external resistor
REXT can be calculated from
REXT = VBE(Q1) / ILED
Two or more AL5802 can be connected in parallel to construct higher
current LED strings as shown in Figure 15.
Fig. 14 Typical Application Circuit for
Linear Mode Current Sink LED Driver
Consideration of the expected linear mode power dissipation must be
factored into the design, with respect to the AL5802's thermal
resistance. The maximum voltage across the device can be calculated
by taking the maximum supply voltage less the voltage across the LED
string.
VCE(Q2) = VCC – VLED – VBE(Q1)
2
PD = VCE(Q2) * ILED + ( VCC – VBE(Q2) – VBE(Q1)) / R1
As the output current of AL5802 increases, it is necessary to provide
appropriate thermal relief to the device. The power dissipation
supported by the device is dependent upon the PCB board material, the
copper area and the ambient temperature. The maximum dissipation
the device can handle is given by:
PD = ( TJ(MAX) - TA) /RθJA
Refer to the thermal characteristic graphs on page 4 for selecting the
appropriate PCB copper area.

PWM dimming can be achieved by driving the EN pin. An external open-collector NPN transistor or open-drain N-channel MOSFET can be used
to drive the EN pin as shown in Figure 16. Dimming is achieved by turning the LEDs ON and OFF for a portion of a single cycle. The PWM
signal can be provided by a micro-controller or analog circuitry. Figure 17 is a typical response of LED current vs. PWM duty cycle on the EN pin.

SDM10U45LP
VS
To remove the potential of incorrect connection of the power supply
damaging the lamp’s LEDs, many systems use some form of
reverse polarity protection.
One solution for reverse input polarity protection is to simply use a
diode with a low VF in-line with the driver/LED combination. The low
VF increases the available voltage to the LED stack and dissipates
less power. A circuit example is presented in Fig. 18 using Diodes
Inc. SBR® (Super Barrier Rectifier) technology. An SDM10U45LP
(0.1A/45V) is shown, providing exceptionally low VF for its package
size of 1mm x 0.6mm, equivalent to an 0402 chip style package.
Other reverse voltage ratings are also available in Diodes’ website
such as the SBR02U100LP (0.2A/100V) or SBR0220LP (0.2A/20V).

RS
Fig. 18 Application circuit for LED driver
with reverse polarity protection
Automotive applications commonly use this method for reverse
battery protection.
A second approach, shown in Fig. 19, improves upon the method
shown in Fig. 18. Whereas the method in Fig. 18 protects the light
engine, it will not function until the problem has been diagnosed and
corrected.
BAS40BRW
VS
The method shown in Fig. 19 not only provides reverse polarity
protection, it also corrects the reversed polarity, allowing the light
engine to function.
The BAS40BRW incorporates four low VF, Schottky diodes into a
single package and allows more voltage available for the LED stack
and dissipates less power that standard rectifier bridges.
