Applications

• Automotive ambient lighting systems
• Interior dome light modules
• Door panel illumination circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the specific temperature grade and package variant matches your design requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure compliance with current automotive standards and RoHS directives before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring dual-channel LED drive with integrated protection. Ensure the input voltage range aligns with the vehicle's power bus specifications. Consider the thermal management capabilities of the package if operating near maximum current limits. Verify compatibility with the host controller's PWM signal levels.

Part Context

This part belongs to Rohm's automotive-grade LED driver family, optimized for interior lighting. It replaces older discrete solutions by integrating multiple functions into a single compact package. The series focuses on reducing board space and improving reliability in modern vehicle electronics architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives from the same manufacturer. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical current sink characteristics and protection thresholds. Ensure any replacement supports the required PWM frequency and duty cycle range.
