Product details
Overview
AL5809-150QP1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a two-terminal, AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified constant current LED driver delivering 150 mA ±5% accuracy over -40°C to +150°C junction temperature, with 2.5 V to 60 V operating voltage range and 20 ppm/°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 AL5809-150QP1-7 datasheet, AL5809-150QP1-7 pinout, AL5809-150QP1-7 application, or AL5809-150QP1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 mA fixed output, PowerDI123 (Type B) thermal performance (θJA = 81.4°C/W on 50.8 mm × 50.8 mm GETEK), thermal shutdown at +165°C, and PWM dimming compatibility with ≥500 µs minimum pulse width.
Technical Context
The AL5809-150QP1-7 integrates an internal precision current mirror and low-dropout regulator to maintain stable 150 mA output without external resistors. Its two-pin architecture eliminates control logic, enabling direct series connection between supply and LED string.
It operates as a constant current regulator (CCR) with startup threshold of 1.5 V and supports PWM dimming via external MOSFET switching at the OUT pin. Thermal shutdown activates at +165°C with +30°C hysteresis, ensuring robust operation under transient overloads in 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 150 mA ±5% at +25°C; 135–165 mA over -40°C to +150°C - ensures consistent brightness across automotive ambient extremes |
| Operating Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 60 V across IN–OUT terminals - withstands load dump transients up to 60 V in automotive 12 V/24 V systems |
| Temperature Stability | 20 ppm/°C - limits current drift to <±0.3% over full junction range, critical for color-stable illumination |
| Thermal Shutdown | +165°C activation with +30°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during sustained overvoltage or poor PCB heatsinking |
| Power Dissipation | 1.53 W max on 50.8 mm × 50.8 mm GETEK PCB - enables 150 mA drive at up to 10.2 V differential (e.g., 16 V supply − 5.8 V LED string) |
| PWM Dimming Support | Min. 500 µs ON/OFF pulse width - compatible with standard microcontroller PWM outputs without added timing circuitry |
| AEC-Q100 Qualification | Grade 3 (-40°C to +85°C ambient) - certified for under-hood and cabin lighting applications requiring PPAP documentation |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in thermally robust PowerDI123 (Type B) package (3.70 mm × 2.80 mm × 1.78 mm), featuring exposed cathode pad for enhanced thermal conduction to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN (Pin 1) | LED current input terminal | Current flows into this pin; connects to LED cathode in low-side config or LED anode in high-side config |
| OUT (Pin 2) | LED current output terminal | Current flows out of this pin; connects to LED anode in low-side config or LED cathode in high-side config |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external current-setting resistor required | Fixed 150 mA output trimmed internally - reduces BOM count and layout area vs. adjustable CCRs |
| High-side and low-side LED string support | Two-terminal bidirectional topology - simplifies routing in constrained space such as door modules or instrument clusters |
| Robust transient immunity | 60 V absolute max rating with 80 V surge capability - survives ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump events |
| Lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free | Compliant with RoHS 2 and automotive green standards (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - meets global Tier 1 material declarations |
| PPAP-capable qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 3 with full test reports available - satisfies OEM production release requirements without requalification |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL5809-120QP1-7 | 120 mA fixed output, AEC-Q100 Grade 3, same PowerDI123 (Type B) package | Lowers power dissipation by 20% at same VIN−VLED differential; suitable where thermal margin is constrained | Select when LED forward voltage exceeds 5.5 V at 150 mA, or when board-level heatsinking is limited |
| AL5809-100QP1-7 | 100 mA fixed output, AEC-Q100 Grade 3, identical pinout and thermal specs | Reduces maximum power dissipation by 33%, enabling use on smaller PCBs or lower-cost FR-4 substrates | Choose for cost-sensitive cabin lighting where 100 mA suffices for target luminance and thermal budget allows |
Compared with AL5809-120QP1-7 and AL5809-100QP1-7, the AL5809-150QP1-7 delivers highest current density in the same footprint, enabling fewer devices per LED string or higher-brightness implementations - but requires careful thermal design due to 1.53 W max dissipation.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AL5809-150QP1-7 to regulate current?
The device begins regulating current once the voltage across IN and OUT reaches approximately 1.5 V, with guaranteed operation starting at 2.5 V. Below 2.5 V, output current drops rapidly; above that, it maintains 150 mA ±5% across the full 2.5–60 V range, provided junction temperature remains ≤+150°C.
Can AL5809-150QP1-7 be used in parallel to increase total LED current?
Yes - multiple AL5809-150QP1-7 units can be paralleled to scale current (e.g., two devices deliver ~300 mA). Matched internal current mirrors ensure <±5% unit-to-unit variation. Use separate PCB copper pours per device and avoid shared thermal vias to prevent current hogging due to thermal coupling.
Does AL5809-150QP1-7 support analog dimming?
No - the device lacks analog control input. Dimming is implemented exclusively via PWM switching of the OUT pin using an external MOSFET, with minimum 500 µs pulse width and recommended 100–200 Hz frequency. Analog dimming would require external current-sense feedback and op-amp circuitry not supported by the two-terminal architecture.
How does thermal shutdown behave during transient overloads?
When junction temperature reaches +165°C, the device shuts down current flow completely. After cooling by ≥30°C (to ≤+135°C), it automatically recovers and resumes regulation. This hysteresis prevents oscillation during marginal thermal conditions and protects LEDs from thermal stress during short-duration overvoltage events like load dump.
