Product details
Overview
AL5809-150P1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a two-terminal linear constant-current LED driver in PowerDI123 package, delivering 150mA ±5% regulated current over -40°C to +125°C ambient, with 2.5V–60V input-to-output voltage range and 20ppm/°C temperature drift. It supports both high-side and low-side LED string configurations for offline AC/DC LED lamps and signage.
For engineers reviewing the AL5809-150P1-7 datasheet, AL5809-150P1-7 pinout, AL5809-150P1-7 application, or AL5809-150P1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 150mA output, 60V voltage rating between terminals, thermal shutdown at +165°C, PWM dimming compatibility, and PowerDI123 thermal performance (θJA = 81.39°C/W on GETEK).
Technical Context
The AL5809-150P1-7 integrates an internal precision current mirror and LDO regulator to maintain stable 150mA output across 2.5V–60V VIN-OUT, with line regulation ≤1% and startup threshold of 1.5V. Its floating ground architecture enables direct series connection with LED strings without external biasing.
It features thermal shutdown at +165°C with +30°C hysteresis, minimum on/off pulse widths of 500µs for PWM dimming (100–200Hz), and operates up to +175°C junction temperature. ESD protection includes 4kV HBM and 400V MM ratings.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 150mA ±5% over -40°C to +125°C ambient - ensures consistent LED brightness without external resistor calibration. |
| VIN-OUT Range | 2.5V to 60V - supports long LED chains in offline 120/230VAC-derived supplies with minimal dropout headroom. |
| Temperature Drift | 20ppm/°C - maintains current stability across industrial temperature ranges without active compensation. |
| Thermal Shutdown | +165°C with +30°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during overvoltage or poor PCB heatsinking conditions. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 81.39°C/W on 50.8mm × 50.8mm GETEK PCB - enables 1.24W continuous dissipation at TA = +25°C. |
| PWM Dimming Support | Min. tON/tOFF = 500µs - compatible with 100–200Hz square-wave dimming using external MOSFET switching at OUT pin. |
| ESD Rating | 4kV HBM - meets IEC 61000-4-2 level for robust handling in manufacturing and field assembly. |
Pinout & Package
AL5809-150P1-7 uses the PowerDI123 (Type B) surface-mount package: 3.70mm × 2.80mm × 1.78mm body, single-row 2-pin configuration with exposed thermal pad (pin 2). Thermal vias to internal ground plane are recommended per Diodes' layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| Out | LED current output terminal | Connects to LED anode in low-side config or LED cathode in high-side config; serves as reference/ground node for internal regulation block. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-terminal topology | Eliminates external current-setting resistor - reduces BOM count and PCB footprint in space-constrained LED modules. |
| High-side & low-side flexibility | Same device supports either configuration via pin assignment - simplifies design reuse across lamp and driver board variants. |
| 60V VIN-OUT rating | Withstands peak voltages in rectified offline inputs - enables direct use after bridge rectifier without additional clamping. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | RoHS 2 compliant with <900ppm Br/Cl and <1000ppm Sb - satisfies EU EcoDesign and energy-efficient lighting regulatory requirements. |
| 1.24W power capability | Rated for 150mA at 8.3V drop (e.g., 24V supply driving 12V LED string) on optimized GETEK PCB - supports medium-power signage applications. |
Applications
| Offline LED Lamps | LED Signs |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL5809-120P1-7 | 120mA fixed output, lower power dissipation (0.99W max), same package and pinout | Suitable for shorter LED strings or lower-lumen designs where 150mA is excessive | Select when thermal margin is constrained and 120mA suffices for target luminous flux |
| NSI45015AT1G | 15mA fixed output, SOD-123 package, 45V VIN-OUT, no thermal shutdown | Limited to low-current indicator LEDs; lacks 60V rating and OTP protection for mains-connected designs | Use only in low-voltage DC systems (<36V) where thermal safety is managed externally |
Compared with AL5809-150P1-7, the -120P1-7 offers tighter thermal margins at reduced current, while NSI45015AT1G trades voltage capability and protection for ultra-compact size - making the AL5809-150P1-7 optimal for 60V-rated, thermally demanding LED lamp designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by AL5809-150P1-7?
The AL5809-150P1-7 supports up to 60V across its IN and OUT pins. For a given supply voltage (e.g., 72VDC), the maximum LED string voltage equals supply minus 60V - so a 72V supply allows up to 12V of LED forward voltage. Derating is required above +85°C ambient per Figure 10.
Can AL5809-150P1-7 be used in parallel for higher current?
Yes - multiple AL5809-150P1-7 units can be paralleled to increase total LED current, as shown in Figure 3. However, ensure matched PCB thermal layout and identical trace lengths to minimize current imbalance; typical mismatch is <±10% with symmetric mounting.
Does AL5809-150P1-7 require a heatsink?
No dedicated heatsink is required, but thermal performance depends critically on PCB copper area and vias. On a 50.8mm × 50.8mm GETEK board with thermal vias, θJA = 81.39°C/W enables 1.24W dissipation. On standard FR-4, θJA rises to 148.61°C/W - limiting usable power to ~0.68W at +25°C ambient.
Is AL5809-150P1-7 compatible with PWM dimming?
Yes - it supports PWM dimming via external MOSFET switching at the OUT pin (Figure 4a), with validated operation from 100Hz to 200Hz. Minimum on/off times are 500µs; for 100Hz (10ms period), duty cycle must stay between 5% and 95% to avoid blanking or saturation.
