MAX16800,pdf datasheet (Adjust

The MAX16800 current regulator operates from a 6.5V to 40V input voltage range and delivers up to a total of 350mA to one or more strings of high-brightness LEDs. The output current of the MAX16800 is adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in series with the LEDs. An enable input allows wide-range "pulsed" dimming. Wave-shaping circuitry reduces EMI. The differential current-sense input increases noise immunity. The MAX16800 is well suited for applications requiring high-voltage input and is able to withstand automotive load-dump events up to 40V. An on-board pass element minimizes external components while providing ±3.5% output current accuracy. Additional features include a 5V regulated output and short-circuit and thermal protection.

The MAX16800 is available in a thermally enhanced, 5mm x 5mm, 16-pin TQFN package and is specified over the automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

The MAX16835 is a newer and more cost effective product that provides the same performance and is pin-to-pin compatible with the MAX16800.
