15-150mA 60V Constant Current Regulator
General Description
The AL5809 is a two terminal constant
current linear LED driver and it provides a
cost-effective solution.
It offers an
excellent temperature stability 20 ppm/⁰C
and the current accuracy ±5% regulated
over a wide voltage range. The AL5809
simplifies the design for linear LED drivers
allowing it to be designed as a high or lowside constant current regulator without any
external components.

1. Depends on the current options, the evaluation board is as low side current LED
configuration.
2. Ensure that the DC source is switched OFF or disconnected.
3. Connect the power supply to DC+ and DC- terminals on the board.
4. Connect the Anode and Cathode terminals of external LED string between DC+ wire and IN
terminal of the board in the Low side LED configuration.
5. Connect the “DC-“ wire to OUT terminal of the board and connect to GND.
6. Ensure that the area around the board is clear and safe, and preferably that the board and
LEDs are enclosed in a transparent safety cover.
7. Turn on the main switch. LED string should light up and the LED current should be regulated
according to the current options of the device.

The evaluation can also be configured as High side current LED configuration.
Ensure that the DC source is switched OFF or disconnected.
Connect the power supply to DC+ and DC- terminals on the board.
Connect the DC+ wire of the board to IN terminal wire on the board.
Connect the Anode and Cathode terminals of external LED string between OUT terminal
and DC- wire of the board in the High side LED configuration.
Connect the DC- wire to the GND of the DC power supply.
Observe MAX 60V differential between IN and OUT terminals when applied Vcc > 60V.
In the high side circuit configuration, extreme high voltage may be present. Please use
caution and try not to touch any components on the board or input leads.
Turn on the main switch. LED string should light up and the LED current should be
regulated according to the current options of the device.

Application Information
PWM Dimming
The AL5809 can be used to provide LED current dimming driving the Out pin via the MOSFET
switch to ground. The Out pin current is then effectively switched on and off causing the LED
current to turn on and off
