Product details
Overview
AL1677-05BS-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a universal AC-input (85–277 VAC) buck LED driver IC with integrated 0.5 A/500 V MOSFET, delivering ±3% current accuracy, 90% efficiency, and boundary conduction mode (BCM) operation for EMI reduction in retrofit GU10/bulb LED lamps.
For engineers reviewing the AL1677-05BS-13 datasheet, AL1677-05BS-13 pinout, AL1677-05BS-13 application, or AL1677-05BS-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated MOSFET rating, BCM control architecture, thermal fold-back threshold, UVLO/OTP/LED open/short protection coverage, and SO-8 package compatibility with high-voltage LED driver layouts.
Technical Context
The AL1677-05BS-13 implements a self-oscillating boundary conduction mode (BCM) controller with valley-switching detection, eliminating need for auxiliary winding feedback. It integrates a 0.5 A/500 V power MOSFET and operates without external gate driver or high-voltage sense resistors.
Protection circuitry includes under-voltage lockout (UVLO) at 12.5 V turn-on / 8.5 V turn-off, over-temperature protection (OTP), and real-time LED short/open fault detection via CS pin voltage monitoring with cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 85–277 VAC universal line input enables single-BOM global deployment across North America, EU, and APAC markets. |
| Output Current Accuracy | ±3% over line, load, and temperature ensures consistent lumen output across lamp lifetime and ambient conditions. |
| Integrated MOSFET | 0.5 A/500 V rated device supports ≤5 W LED loads without external switch, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint. |
| Efficiency | 90% typical at full load minimizes thermal stress in enclosed retrofit lamp housings. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +105 °C junction range allows use in thermally constrained GU10 and A19 bulb designs. |
| Topology | Buck converter with BCM control reduces EMI filter component count and simplifies EMC certification. |
Pinout & Package
AL1677-05BS-13 is housed in an SO-8 package with exposed thermal pad (EP) for enhanced heat dissipation in high-density LED driver layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power and signal reference ground | Common return path for internal MOSFET source, CS comparator, and UVLO circuitry. |
| VCC | Internal LDO input and bias supply | Accepts 12–20 V DC; powers internal logic and gate driver; requires local 10 µF decoupling. |
| CS | Current sense input | Monitors LED current via external sense resistor; triggers cycle-by-cycle limiting and fault detection. |
| OUT | Integrated MOSFET drain connection | High-side switching node tied directly to inductor; rated for 500 V repetitive peak voltage. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; must remain floating per datasheet layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.5 A/500 V MOSFET | Eliminates external high-voltage switch and gate driver, reducing component count by ≥3 and enabling <5 W compact drivers. |
| Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM) | Enables zero-current switching at valley point, lowering switching losses and easing EMI filter design for Class B compliance. |
| Thermal Fold-back | Reduces output current linearly above 125 °C junction temperature to prevent thermal runaway in sealed lamp enclosures. |
| Comprehensive Protection Suite | Includes UVLO, OTP, LED open/short detection, and cycle-by-cycle current limit - no external fault logic required. |
Applications
| Retrofit LED Bulbs (GU10/A19) | High-Voltage DC-DC LED Drivers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar constant-current LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL1677-08BS-13 | Integrates 0.8 A/500 V MOSFET; supports up to 120 mA output current. | Suitable for 6–8 W retrofit lamps; requires higher-current inductor and sense resistor. | Select when higher output power is needed without changing topology or layout footprint. |
| AP1685 | SO-7 package; integrates 0.5 A/500 V MOSFET but lacks thermal fold-back and has fixed UVLO thresholds. | Targeted for sub-10 W non-thermally demanding applications; no active thermal derating. | Choose only if thermal margin exceeds 25 °C and simplified protection suffices. |
Compared with AL1677-08BS-13 and AP1685, the AL1677-05BS-13 offers optimal balance of thermal fold-back responsiveness, SO-8 thermal pad capability, and precise ±3% current regulation for thermally constrained ≤5 W LED lamps - making it uniquely suited for GU10 and enclosed A19 form factors.

FAQ
What protection features does AL1677-05BS-13 provide?
The AL1677-05BS-13 integrates under-voltage lockout (UVLO), over-temperature protection (OTP), LED open-circuit detection, LED short-circuit detection, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. All protections trigger automatic shutdown or fold-back without external components, and thermal fold-back actively reduces output current above 125 °C junction temperature to sustain operation in enclosed fixtures.
Can AL1677-05BS-13 drive multiple LED strings in parallel?
Yes - the AL1677-05BS-13 regulates total output current, so parallel LED strings can be driven if forward voltage matching is maintained within ±5%. However, due to lack of individual string current sensing, mismatched VF may cause uneven brightness; external balancing resistors or matched-bin LEDs are recommended for critical uniformity.
What is the minimum number of external components required for basic operation?
A functional AL1677-05BS-13 circuit requires only five components: input bridge rectifier (DB1), bulk capacitor (C1), inductor (L1), output rectifier diode (D1), and current sense resistor (RCS). No auxiliary winding, optocoupler, or external MOSFET is needed - enabling one of the lowest BOM counts among integrated LED drivers.
Is AL1677-05BS-13 compatible with leading-edge TRIAC dimmers?
No - the AL1677-05BS-13 is not designed for phase-cut dimming. It lacks dimming interface circuitry, adjustable reference, or PWM input. Its datasheet explicitly states "Triac Dimmable: N" in the ordering table; for dimmable applications, Diodes recommends the AP1684A or AL1678 series with dedicated dimming control inputs.
