Product details
Overview
AL1677-08BS-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a universal AC-input (85–277 VAC) buck LED driver IC with integrated 0.8 A/500 V MOSFET, delivering ±3% current accuracy, 90% efficiency, and boundary conduction mode (BCM) operation for <8 W retrofit GU10/bulb lamps. It provides built-in UVLO, OTP, LED short/open protection, and thermal fold-back.
For engineers reviewing the AL1677-08BS-13 datasheet, AL1677-08BS-13 pinout, AL1677-08BS-13 application, or AL1677-08BS-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated MOSFET rating (0.8 A/500 V), SO-8 package compatibility, BCM-based EMI reduction, and thermal fold-back behavior under >105 °C ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The AL1677-08BS-13 implements a primary-side sensing buck converter with no auxiliary winding, using boundary conduction mode to maintain high power factor (>0.9) without active PFC circuitry. Its internal high-voltage MOSFET eliminates external switching devices while supporting universal AC input range.
Control logic integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting via CS pin feedback, with thermal fold-back reducing output current when die temperature exceeds threshold. Protection functions are autonomous-UVLO triggers at 10.5 V start-up and 7.5 V shutdown, OTP activates at 150 °C, and LED open/short detection occurs within 500 ms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 85–277 VAC universal line input enables single-BOM deployment across global mains voltages. |
| Max LED Current | 120 mA ±3% accuracy ensures consistent lumen output across production units and line/load variations. |
| Efficiency | 90% typical at full load reduces thermal stress and enables compact thermally constrained lamp designs. |
| Topology | Buck converter with BCM operation lowers EMI peak amplitudes, easing EN55015/CISPR15 compliance testing. |
| Integrated MOSFET | 0.8 A/500 V rated device supports ≤8 W output without external switch, cutting BOM count by ≥2 components. |
| Thermal Fold-back | Reduces output current above 105 °C junction temperature, preventing thermal runaway in enclosed fixtures. |
Pinout & Package
AL1677-08BS-13 is housed in an SO-8 package with exposed thermal pad (standard JEDEC MS-012AC), optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation in high-density LED lamp PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Power and signal reference ground | Common return path for CS sensing, internal regulator, and gate drive; requires low-impedance PCB pour. |
| VCC | Internal LDO input and bootstrap supply | Accepts 10.5–25 V DC; powers internal circuitry and gate driver; decoupled with ≥1 μF ceramic capacitor. |
| CS | Current sense input | Monitors LED current via external sense resistor; enables cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection and regulation. |
| OUT | Drain of integrated MOSFET | High-side switch output node; connects directly to buck inductor; rated for 500 V blocking and 0.8 A RMS current. |
| NC | No connect | Internally unconnected pin; must remain floating per datasheet to avoid latch-up or parametric shift. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.8 A/500 V MOSFET | Eliminates external HV switch and associated gate drive components, reducing total solution size by ~30% vs discrete designs. |
| Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM) | Enables zero-current switching, lowering switching losses and conducted EMI without requiring snubbers or filters. |
| Autonomous Protection Suite | UVLO, OTP, LED open/short, and overcurrent protection operate without external ICs or firmware intervention. |
| Thermal Fold-back | Gradually scales down LED current above 105 °C junction temperature, preserving system uptime in thermally limited enclosures. |
| Primary-Side Constant Current Regulation | Removes need for secondary-side current sensing or optocoupler feedback, improving reliability and simplifying layout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL1677-10BS-13 | Higher integrated MOSFET rating (1 A/500 V) and max LED current (180 mA) | Supports up to 10 W output; requires larger heatsinking due to higher conduction loss | Select when driving higher-power LED strings where 120 mA limit is insufficient |
| AP1685 | SO-7 package, lower max LED current (200 mA), no integrated MOSFET (external switch required) | Requires external 500 V MOSFET and gate driver; suited for designs needing layout flexibility over integration | Choose when board space allows discrete switch placement and thermal management is distributed |
Compared with AL1677-10BS-13, the -08BS-13 offers tighter thermal margin in compact GU10 form factors; versus AP1685, it trades external component flexibility for reduced BOM count and faster time-to-market in volume lamp production.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output power supported by AL1677-08BS-13?
The AL1677-08BS-13 supports up to 8 W output power, determined by its integrated 0.8 A/500 V MOSFET rating, 120 mA LED current capability, and 90% typical efficiency at full load. Power derating is required above 105 °C junction temperature due to thermal fold-back activation.
Does AL1677-08BS-13 require an external MOSFET?
No. The AL1677-08BS-13 integrates a fully rated 0.8 A/500 V MOSFET on-die, eliminating the need for any external high-voltage switching transistor. Only passive components-inductor, sense resistor, input/output capacitors, and rectifier-are required for functional operation.
How does the thermal fold-back function behave under sustained high-temperature conditions?
When junction temperature exceeds 105 °C, the AL1677-08BS-13 linearly reduces LED current to prevent thermal runaway. At 125 °C, output current drops to ~50% of nominal; full shutdown occurs only if OTP triggers at 150 °C, ensuring graceful degradation rather than abrupt failure.
Can AL1677-08BS-13 be used in triac-dimmable LED lamps?
No. The AL1677-08BS-13 lacks triac dimming interface circuitry and is not designed for leading-edge phase-cut dimmer compatibility. Its datasheet explicitly states "N" for Triac Dimmable in ordering information; use AL1677-08BS-13 only in non-dimmable, constant-current applications.
