Product details
Overview
AL5809-100QP1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, two-terminal constant current linear LED driver in PowerDI123 (Type B) package, delivering a precise 100mA ±5% output over -40°C to +150°C junction temperature, with 2.5V–60V input-to-output voltage range and 20ppm/°C temperature stability. It supports both high-side and low-side LED string configurations in automotive interior lamps and parking lights.
For engineers reviewing the AL5809-100QP1-7 datasheet, AL5809-100QP1-7 pinout, AL5809-100QP1-7 application, or AL5809-100QP1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 100mA current setting, thermal shutdown at +165°C with +30°C hysteresis, ±5% current accuracy across full temperature range, and compatibility with PWM dimming down to 500µs pulse width.
Technical Context
The AL5809-100QP1-7 integrates an internal precision current mirror and low-dropout regulator to maintain stable 100mA output without external resistors. Its two-pin architecture eliminates feedback loops and simplifies PCB layout for space-constrained automotive lighting modules.
It operates as a constant current regulator (CCR) with turn-on threshold of 1.5V and withstands 80V absolute maximum input-to-output differential. Thermal protection activates at +165°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis, enabling robust operation under transient overvoltage conditions typical in 12V automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 100mA ±5% at +25°C; 90–110mA over -40°C to +150°C - ensures consistent LED brightness across vehicle operating environments |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 60V between IN and OUT pins - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive rails and tolerates load-dump transients up to 60V |
| Temperature Stability | 20ppm/°C - limits current drift to <±0.3% over full junction temperature range, critical for color consistency in multi-LED arrays |
| Thermal Shutdown | +165°C activation with +30°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during sustained over-power conditions while enabling automatic recovery |
| ESD Protection | HBM: 4kV, MM: 400V, CDM: 1kV - meets automotive handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
| Power Dissipation | 1.5W max in PowerDI123 (Type B) on 50.8mm × 50.8mm GETEK PCB - enables compact thermal design with minimal copper area |
| PWM Dimming Support | Min on/off pulse width: 500µs - allows 100–200Hz dimming with 5–95% duty cycle control using external MOSFET switching |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AL5809-100QP1-7 to regulate current?
The device begins regulating current once the voltage across IN and OUT terminals reaches approximately 1.5V, with guaranteed operation starting at 2.5V. At 2.5V and 100mA, power dissipation is only 250mW - enabling reliable startup even during cold-cranking conditions where battery voltage drops to 9V.
Can AL5809-100QP1-7 be used in high-side configuration with common-anode LED strings?
Yes - connect the LED anode to the OUT pin and cathode to the positive supply rail. The device regulates current flowing from OUT to IN, making it fully compatible with high-side topology. No external components are needed, and thermal performance remains identical to low-side use due to shared PowerDI123 (Type B) package construction.
Does AL5809-100QP1-7 support analog dimming via voltage control?
No - the AL5809-100QP1-7 has no analog dimming interface. Dimming is implemented externally via PWM switching of the OUT pin using a MOSFET, with minimum on/off pulse widths of 500µs. This method preserves current accuracy and avoids analog control drift over temperature.
How does thermal shutdown behavior affect system reliability in continuous operation?
Thermal shutdown activates at +165°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis, allowing automatic recovery once temperature falls below +135°C. This protects against permanent damage during sustained over-power events while maintaining functional safety - no latch-up or manual reset is required, ensuring uninterrupted operation after transient overload.
