RT8453B
1.5A, 500kHz, 40V High Voltage Buck LED Driver
General Description
The RT8453B is a buck current mode PWM regulator for
LED driving applications. It provides an integrated 1.5A
switch and can be operated with a wide input voltage range
from 4.5V to 40V. With a 500kHz operating frequency, the
RT8453B allows all external inductor and input/output
capacitors to be small. High efficiency is achieved with its
190mV current sensing capability. Dimming can be either
analog or PWM digital signal driven. The RT8453B is
available in a small SOP-8 (Exposed pad) package.

is 190mV.
PWM Converter Loop Compensation Node.
Analog Dimming Control. Effective programming range is between 0.3V and 1.2V.
Chip Enable (Active High). When low, chip is in shutdown mode.
Soft Start. A capacitor of at least 10nF is required for soft start.
Ground. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB and connected to
GND for maximum power dissipation.
PWM Converter Switch Node.
Power Supply of the Chip. For good bypass, a low ESR capacitor is required.

Note 1.
Stresses listed as the above "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are
for stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
Note 2.
θ
JA
is measured in natural convection at T
A
= 25°C on a high effective thermal conductivity four-layer test board of
JEDEC 51-7 thermal measurement standard. The measurement case position of
θ
JC
is on the exposed pad of the
package.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precaution is recommended.
Note 4.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating conditions.
Note 5.
When the natural maximum duty cycle of 500kHz switching frequency is reached, the switching cycle will be skipped
(not reset) as the operating condition requires to effectively stretch and achieve higher on cycle.
Note 6.
If connected with a 20kΩ series resistor, this pin can go up to 40V.
