Product details

40V input, two 150mA channels — automotive LED driver with flexible topology

The internal switching FET supports SEPIC, buck, or boost topology, so the same part handles LED strings that sit above, below, or across the input rail.

AEC-Q100 and 125°C junction — built for under-hood and cabin lighting

The 20-TSSOP exposed-pad package helps pull heat into the PCB copper; a via stitch under the pad is expected for continuous operation near the 150 mA per-channel ceiling.

Active lifecycle — no EOL risk for production builds

Package and mounting — 20-TSSOP with exposed pad

Surface-mount in a 20-TSSOP (0.173", 4.40 mm width) with an exposed pad. The supplier device package is 20-TSSOP-EP.
