Product details
Overview
AL5809-25P1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a two-terminal linear constant current LED driver in PowerDI123 package, delivering precisely 25mA ±5% over −40°C to +125°C with 20ppm/°C temperature drift. It operates across 2.5V–60V input-to-output voltage range and supports both high-side and low-side LED string configurations for offline AC/DC LED lamps and signage.
For engineers reviewing the AL5809-25P1-7 datasheet, AL5809-25P1-7 pinout, AL5809-25P1-7 application, or AL5809-25P1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 25mA output, 60V floating-voltage rating between IN/OUT, thermal shutdown at +165°C, PowerDI123 thermal performance (θJA = 148.6°C/W on FR-4), and compatibility with PWM dimming down to 100Hz.
Technical Context
The AL5809-25P1-7 integrates an internal LDO and precision current mirror to regulate 25mA without external resistors. Its floating two-terminal architecture enables direct series connection with LED strings, eliminating ground-referenced control complexity.
It features built-in thermal shutdown (TSHDN = +165°C, hysteresis = +30°C) and robust ESD protection (4kV HBM). The device maintains regulation down to 2.5V VIN-OUT, enabling operation with short LED chains in 12V systems while tolerating up to 80V transient peaks.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the minimum input-to-output voltage required for AL5809-25P1-7 to regulate?
The AL5809-25P1-7 requires a minimum VIN-OUT of 2.5V to initiate regulation, verified across −40°C to +125°C. Below this threshold, the device enters dropout and current drops nonlinearly. This enables driving as few as two 3.25V LEDs from a 12V rail while maintaining regulation margin.
Can AL5809-25P1-7 be used in high-side configuration with common-anode LED strings?
Yes - the AL5809-25P1-7 supports high-side operation: connect the LED anode to the OUT pin and cathode to the load return. Its floating 60V IN–OUT rating allows placement between the LED string and positive rail without ground reference, enabling true high-side constant current control.
How does thermal shutdown behave under sustained overload conditions?
When junction temperature reaches +165°C, AL5809-25P1-7 disables current flow. Recovery occurs after temperature falls by +30°C (to +135°C), confirmed in Figure 18 of the datasheet. This hysteresis prevents oscillation during marginal thermal conditions and ensures safe cooldown before re-enabling.
Is AL5809-25P1-7 compatible with PWM dimming using a microcontroller GPIO?
Yes - the device supports PWM dimming via external MOSFET switching at the OUT pin. With tON_MIN/tOFF_MIN = 500µs, it reliably handles 100–200Hz signals from standard MCU GPIOs. Minimum duty cycle is 5% at 100Hz, enabling smooth brightness control without visible flicker.
