AL1696-30AS7-13

Overview

The AL1696-30AS7-13 is a highly integrated offline dimmable LED driver manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It operates in boundary conduction mode (BCM) to facilitate EMI/EMC compliance. The device features a built-in MOSFET and delivers a constant output current of 3 A with a maximum supply voltage of 18 V. It functions within an operating frequency of 200 kHz and supports temperatures from -40°C to +105°C. Packaged in an SO-7 case, it dissipates up to 800 mW.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a power MOSFET to reduce bill of materials
• Operates in boundary conduction mode for easier EMI qualification
• Provides constant current control for mains dimmable LED applications

Applications

• Mains dimmable LED lighting systems
• Offline LED driver circuits
• High power factor constant current converters

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the part status is listed as obsolete or end-of-life in some distributor records. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment against the official SO-7 datasheet specifications before integration. Ensure design compatibility with BCM operation requirements and thermal management for 800 mW dissipation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high integration and simplified EMI filtering due to BCM operation. The built-in MOSFET reduces external component count compared to discrete solutions. Verify that the 3 A output current and 18 V supply limit align with specific LED string configurations and thermal constraints.

Part Context

This IC belongs to the AL1696 series of offline LED drivers from Diodes Incorporated. It is designed specifically for AC-DC conversion in lighting applications. The series emphasizes high power factor and reduced external component count through internal integration of switching elements.
