MAX16831
High-Voltage, High-Power LED Driver with
Analog and PWM Dimming Control
General Description
The MAX16831 is a current-mode, high-brightness LED
(HBLED) driver designed to control two external
n-channel MOSFETs for the single-string LED current
regulation. The MAX16831 integrates all the building
blocks necessary to implement fixed-frequency HBLED
drivers with wide-range dimming control. The
MAX16831 is configurable to operate as a step-down
(buck), step-up (boost), or step-up/-down (buck-boost)
current regulator.
Current-mode control with leading-edge blanking simpli-
fies control-loop design. Internal slope compensation
stabilizes the current loop when operating at duty cycles
above 50%. The MAX16831 operates over a wide input
voltage range and is capable of withstanding automo-
tive load-dump events. Multiple MAX16831s can be
synchronized to each other or to an external clock. The
MAX16831 includes a floating dimming driver for
brightness control with an external n-channel MOSFET
in series with the LED string.
HBLED drivers using the MAX16831 achieve efficien-
cies of over 90% in automotive applications. The
MAX16831 also includes a 1.4A source and 2.5A sink
gate driver for driving switching MOSFETs in high-power
LED driver applications, such as front light assemblies.
The dimming control allows for wide PWM dimming at
frequencies up to 2kHz. Higher dimming ratios of up to
1000:1 are achievable at lower dimming frequencies.
The MAX16831 is available in a 32-pin thin QFN package
with exposed pad and operates over the -40°C to
+125°C automotive temperature range.

Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential voltage at which the regulator output voltage drops 100mV below
the nominal output voltage.
Note 2:
V
CLMPTH
determines the voltage required to operate the current-sense amplifier. The DIM driver requires 2.5V for (V
CLMP
- V
LO
)
to drive the external MOSFET. V
HI
is typically one diode drop above V
CLMP
. A large capacitor connected to V
CLMP
slows the
response of the LED current-sense circuitry, resulting in current overshoot. To ensure proper operation, connect a 0.1µF
capacitor from CLMP to LO.
