MAX16801A/B/MAX16802A/B
The MAX16801A/B/MAX16802A/B high-brightness (HB)
LED driver-control ICs contain all the circuitry required
for the design of wide-input-voltage-range LED drivers
for general lighting and display applications. The
MAX16801 is well suited for universal input (rectified
85VAC to 265VAC) LED drivers, while the MAX16802 is
intended for low-input-voltage (10.8VDC to 24VDC) LED
drivers.
When the LED current needs to be tightly regulated, an
additional on-board error amplifier with 1% accurate ref-
erence can be utilized. A wide dimming range can be
implemented by using low-frequency PWM dimming.
The MAX16801/MAX16802 feature an input undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) for programming the input-supply start
voltage, and to ensure proper operation during brownout
conditions. The MAX16801 has an internal-bootstrap
undervoltage lockout circuit with a large hysteresis that
simplifies offline LED driver designs. The MAX16802 does
not have this internal bootstrap circuit and can be biased
directly from a +12V rail.
The 262kHz fixed switching frequency is internally
trimmed, allowing for optimization of the magnetic and fil-
ter components, resulting in a compact, cost-effective
LED driver. The MAX16801A/MAX16802A are offered with
50% maximum duty cycle. The MAX16801B/MAX16802B
are offered with 75% maximum duty cycle. These devices
are available in an 8-pin µMAX
®
package and operate
over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

Note 1:
All devices are 100% tested at T
A
= +85°C. All limits over temperature are guaranteed by characterization.
Note 2:
V
REF
is measured with DIM/FB connected to the COMP pin (see the
Functional Diagram).
Note 3:
The MAX16801 is intended for use in universal input offline drivers. The internal clamp circuit is used to prevent the boot-
strap capacitor (C1 in Figure 5) from charging to a voltage beyond the absolute maximum rating of the device when
EN/UVLO is low. The maximum current to IN (hence to clamp) when UVLO is low (device in shutdown), must be externally
limited to 2mA (max). Clamp currents higher than 2mA may result in clamp voltage higher than +30V, thus exceeding the
absolute maximum rating for IN. For the MAX16802, do not exceed the +24V maximum operating voltage of the device.
