MAX16836ASA+T

LED Driver IC Overview

The MAX16836ASA+T is a high-voltage LED driver IC designed for high-brightness applications. It features a single output channel capable of delivering up to 350mA. The device operates within an input voltage range of 6.5V to 40V and supports a maximum output voltage of 39.45V. It utilizes PWM dimming for brightness control and includes internal switching topology. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package with an exposed pad, rated for automotive-grade performance across a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

LED Driver IC Feature Summary

• Integrates a linear regulator with PWM dimming capability for precise brightness control
• Includes a dedicated 5V regulator output for auxiliary circuit power
• Features built-in short-circuit and thermal protection mechanisms

LED Driver IC Applications

• Automotive signal lamp lighting systems
• High-brightness LED signage
• General industrial LED illumination

LED Driver IC Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '+T' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging format required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the 8-SOIC-N package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint design. Ensure the supplier documentation explicitly states compliance with RoHS standards for the intended market regulations.

LED Driver IC Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel driver with integrated auxiliary regulation is required. The 350mA current rating suits standard high-power LEDs. Consider the SOIC package for through-hole or surface-mount compatibility depending on manufacturing constraints. Validate that the 40V input limit accommodates the system's supply voltage variations.

LED Driver IC Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX16836 family of LED drivers from Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. It shares core functional specifications with variants like the MAX16836ATE+, differing primarily in package type and reel configuration. The series is engineered for robust automotive and industrial lighting environments requiring reliable constant current drive.

LED Driver IC Replacement Considerations

The MAX16836ASA+ (tray version) serves as a direct functional substitute if reel packaging is not mandatory. Cross-reference pinouts and thermal characteristics when evaluating alternative single-channel LED drivers from other manufacturers.
