AL5873QT16E-13

Overview

The AL5873QT16E-13 is a three-channel linear LED driver IC designed for automotive applications. It features AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and supports analog and PWM dimming. The device operates with an input voltage range of 5V to 55V and provides up to 250mA current capability per channel. It utilizes a TSSOP-16EP package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified for automotive reliability
• Three independent constant current channels
• Supports both analog and PWM dimming methods
• Wide operating supply voltage range

Applications

• Automotive exterior lighting systems
• Interior ambient lighting control
• High-power LED illumination modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T16E-13' confirms the tape and reel packaging quantity of 2,500 units. Ensure the component meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements for your target automotive environment. Confirm the TSSOP-16EP package variant matches your PCB footprint design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a three-channel solution is required for automotive LED arrays. It is suitable for designs needing wide input voltage tolerance up to 55V. Consider its thermal performance in the exposed pad package if high channel currents are utilized simultaneously in confined spaces.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AL5871Q series of linear LED drivers from Diodes Incorporated. While similar parts like the AL5871QT16E-13 exist, they typically feature different channel counts or current ratings. The AL5873QT16E-13 specifically addresses multi-channel automotive lighting needs with integrated protection features.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the three-channel configuration and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 status. Verify pin compatibility with the TSSOP-16EP package. Check that alternative components support the same 55V maximum input voltage and 250mA per channel output capability.
