AMC7169 500mA LED PROTECTOR www.addmtek.com DESCRIPTION FEATURES The AMC7169 is a two terminal LED protector with low dropout voltage rated for 500mA bypass current. Low operation current at monitoring mode and high bypass current capability at triggered mode. Build-in reverse diode for bypass reversed supply voltage. The AMC7169 is designed for parallel connection with power LED. It bypasses LED driving current when LED at open circuit condition. It also bypasses LED driving current at reverse connected driving current to LED. 5V Protection Trigger Voltage 500mA Bypass Current Capability 1V Bypass Dropout Voltage 500mA Reverse Current Capability 8KV ESD Protection 2-Lead 2mm x 2mm FBP Package APPLICATIONS PACKAGE PIN OUT LED Lighting LED backlight for LCD TV/ Monitor High Power LED Protection 2-Pin 2x2 FBP (Top View) TYPICAL APPLICATION 7169 7169 + 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 - - + Constant Current LED Driver ORDER INFORMATION TA ( °C ) -40 to 85 Note: W 2x2 FBP 2-pin AMC7169WF (Lead Free) 1.

All AMC7169 at monitoring mode would only sink ~uA current from the system. 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 - + - + ILED Constant Current LED Driver Triggered Mode: Any LED may become open circuit because of LED damage or wiring problem. When it happens, the voltage drop across adjacent AMC7169 starts to increase, and then AMC7169 will be trigged when the voltage drop reaches 5V. The dropout voltage on AMC7169 will be around 1V and the LED current ILED will be bypassed to next LED. All LEDs will work well except the abnormal LED bypassed. 7169 7169 + 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 - - + ILED Constant Current LED Driver Reverse Mode: When the LED string was reversed connected to the driver, the AMC7169 build-in reverse protection diode was turned-on to bypass the current. Such that the reverse voltage on LEDs was reduced to prevent LED damage. 7169 - 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 7169 + ILED - + Constant Current LED Driver Copyright © 2006 ADDtek Corp. 3 DD073_A -- JUNE 2006 AMC7169 PACKAGE 2x2 FBP Unit: mm Copyright © 2006 ADDtek Corp. 4 DD073_A -- JUNE 2006 AMC7169 IMPORTANT NOTICE ADDtek reserves the right to make changes to its products or to discontinue any integrated circuit product or service without notice, and advises its customers to obtain the latest version of relevant information to verify, before placing orders, that the information being relied on is current.
