Boost regulator for automotive LED strings
It integrates the switching FET internally and delivers up to 38 V from an input supply ranging from 2.7 V to 18 V. Switching at 600 kHz, the part allows small external inductors and capacitors, saving board area in space-constrained modules like infotainment displays or cluster backlights.
This regulator is AEC-Q100 qualified, making it suitable for automotive-grade designs requiring documented reliability screening.
PWM dimming and output current capability
PWM dimming input allows direct brightness control for LED strings, compatible with standard automotive PWM controllers or MCU GPIOs.
Package and footprint for production
Housed in a 6-WDFN exposed-pad package (6-WSON 2x2 mm), the part is surface-mount and requires a thermal pad connection to the PCB ground plane for effective heat dissipation. The small footprint suits automated assembly lines and high-density layouts.
