Its input supply range spans 6.5 V to 40 V. The PWM dimming input allows external brightness control, and the -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range qualifies it for under-hood automotive and outdoor lighting environments. Applications include backlight, general lighting, and signage. ## 100 mA per channel — sizing the LED string The 100 mA output current sets the maximum drive per LED channel. For a single LED string, this means the total forward current of the series LEDs must not exceed 100 mA. If the design calls for higher current per channel, this part is not the fit — look to a higher-current linear or switching driver instead. The 39.6 V output ceiling allows strings of up to roughly 10 to 12 white LEDs in series, depending on their forward voltage. ## 6.5 V to 40 V input — rail compatibility The 6.5 V minimum supply means the driver will not operate from a 5 V rail; it needs at least a 12 V or higher supply. The 40 V maximum handles 24 V industrial rails with margin, and covers automotive load-dump transients if the supply is clamped below 40 V. For designs running from a 12 V battery, the 6.5 V min also covers cold-crank conditions down to about 7 V. ## Package and thermal — 8-SOIC with exposed pad The 8-SOIC package with an exposed pad (8-SOIC-EP) requires a thermal land on the PCB for heat dissipation. The exposed pad must be soldered to a copper plane — without it, junction temperature will rise quickly at 100 mA continuous output. The -40°C to 125°C operating range covers automotive under-hood and outdoor enclosure environments, but the thermal design must keep the junction below the maximum at full load and ambient. ## Lifecycle and compliance — active, ROHS3, no LTB risk The MAX16815ASA+ is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. For new designs, this part carries no imminent obsolescence risk.","metaTitle":"MAX16815ASA+ LED Driver IC, Linear PWM 100 mA 8-SOIC-EP","metaDescription":"MAX16815ASA+ linear LED driver from Analog Devices, 100 mA output, 6.5 V to 40 V input, PWM dimming, -40°C to 125°C, ROHS3 compliant.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["DC-DC Power Modules"],"specifications":{"Type":"Linear","Dimming":"PWM","Package":"Tube","Applications":"Backlight, Lighting, Signage","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"8-SOIC (0.154\\\", 3.90mm Width) Exposed Pad","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Output":"39.6V","Number of Outputs":"1","Internal Switch(s)":"Yes","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 125°C (TA)","Voltage - Supply (Max)":"40V","Voltage - Supply (Min)":"6.5V","Supplier Device Package":"8-SOIC-EP","Current - Output / Channel":"100mA"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$2.83","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$2.83000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$2.54300","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$2.39880","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$2.04370","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$1.91900","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$1.67912","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$1.39128","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$1.29532","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$1.24735","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/MAX16815-MAX16828.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the output current of MAX16815ASA+?","answer":"The MAX16815ASA+ delivers 100 mA per channel."},{"question":"Is MAX16815ASA+ RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, the MAX16815ASA+ is ROHS3 compliant."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX16815ASA","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MAX16815ASA when reusing this data.
