Product details
Overview
AL5809-30S1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a two-terminal constant-current linear LED driver in SOD-123 package, delivering precisely 30 mA ±5% over -40°C to +125°C, with 2.5–60 V input-to-output voltage range and 20 ppm/°C temperature drift. It supports both high-side and low-side LED string configurations for offline AC-powered lamps and signage.
For engineers reviewing the AL5809-30S1-7 datasheet, AL5809-30S1-7 pinout, AL5809-30S1-7 application, or AL5809-30S1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 30 mA output, SOD-123 thermal limits (0.36 W max at TA = 25°C), dual-side topology flexibility, and PWM dimming compatibility down to 100 Hz with 0.5 ms minimum on/off pulse width.
Technical Context
The AL5809-30S1-7 integrates an internal LDO and precision current mirror to regulate LED current without external resistors. Its floating ground architecture enables 60 V voltage rating between IN and OUT pins, making it suitable for direct connection across LED strings in mains-referenced circuits.
It operates as a two-terminal series regulator: current flows unidirectionally from IN to OUT, with startup triggered at ≥2.5 V and thermal shutdown active above +165°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis. No enable pin or control interface is present - functionality is fully autonomous.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 30 mA ±5% over -40°C to +125°C - ensures stable illumination intensity across industrial ambient conditions |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 60 V across IN–OUT terminals - supports up to ~18 white LEDs (3.3 V each) in series from 60 V supply |
| Temperature Drift | 20 ppm/°C - maintains current accuracy within ±0.3 mA over full operating range |
| Thermal Shutdown | +165°C TJ with +30°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor PCB heatsinking |
| ESD Rating | 4 kV HBM - sufficient for standard handling in non-classified assembly environments |
| Power Dissipation | 0.36 W max at TA = 25°C (SOD-123) - requires ≥50.8 mm × 50.8 mm 2 oz copper pad with thermal vias for full-rated operation |
| Min Pulse Width | 500 µs on/off - sets practical lower limit for PWM dimming frequency (≥100 Hz at 5% duty cycle) |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 surface-mount package: compact 2.65 mm × 1.55 mm footprint, 0.3 mm profile, cathode-band-marked polarity, optimized for reflow soldering and manual inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| In | LED current input terminal | Connects to LED cathode in low-side configuration or power rail in high-side configuration - carries full regulated current |
| Out | LED current output terminal | Connects to LED anode in low-side configuration or LED cathode in high-side configuration - referenced ground for internal regulation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 30 mA output | Eliminates external current-setting resistor, reducing BOM count and layout area in cost-sensitive LED modules |
| High-side & low-side support | Enables placement flexibility - driver can be inserted either before or after LED string without circuit redesign |
| PWM dimming ready | Compatible with external MOSFET switching at OUT pin using 100–200 Hz square wave - no additional IC or timing components required |
| Lead-free & halogen-free | Fully RoHS 2 compliant with <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb - meets global environmental compliance for consumer and white-goods applications |
| 60 V IN–OUT rating | Withstands peak line voltages in offline LED drivers without external clamping - simplifies surge protection design |
Applications
| Offline LED Lamps | LED Signs |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Mains-powered A19 retrofit bulbs with 12–18 white LEDs in series. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two-terminal constant-current regulator placed in series with LED string, acting as smart ballast. Use Value: Delivers stable 30 mA despite 10–15% AC line variation and ambient shifts from 0°C to 60°C - eliminates visible flicker and color shift. | Use Scenario: Outdoor channel letters with segmented red/green/blue LED arrays powered from 24–48 V DC supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-side current source per color segment, enabling common-cathode wiring and simplified controller interface. Use Value: 60 V rating tolerates voltage spikes from long cable runs and inductive loads - improves field reliability without added TVS diodes. |
| White Goods | Instrumentation Illumination |
Use Scenario: Interior lighting in refrigerators and dishwashers where space, thermal budget, and EMI are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power constant-current source driving 3–5 indicator LEDs behind acrylic panels. Use Value: SOD-123 package fits tight cutouts; ±5% current tolerance ensures consistent brightness across production batches and temperature cycling. | Use Scenario: Backlighting for analog panel meters and digital displays in test equipment and medical devices. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision current source for green/yellow LEDs requiring stable luminance under varying ambient temperatures. Use Value: 20 ppm/°C drift ensures <±0.5% luminance change from -20°C to +70°C - critical for calibrated visual indicators. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL5809-30P1-7 | Same 30 mA output but in PowerDI123 package (1.24 W max dissipation vs. 0.36 W) | Supports higher power LED strings and wider ambient ranges due to superior thermal performance | Select when >150 mW power dissipation is expected or board space allows larger footprint |
| NSI45030AZT1G | 30 mA ±3% accuracy, 45 V max VIN–OUT, SOD-123, but no thermal shutdown | Lacks overtemperature protection - requires external thermal management in enclosed fixtures | Choose only in thermally benign environments with verified junction temperature <125°C |
Compared with AL5809-30P1-7, the SOD-123 variant trades thermal headroom for board-space savings; versus NSI45030AZT1G, it adds robust thermal protection at the cost of slightly lower voltage rating and wider current tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage that AL5809-30S1-7 can support?
The AL5809-30S1-7 supports up to 60 V across its IN–OUT terminals. For a 30 mA LED string with typical forward voltage of 3.2 V per LED, this allows up to 18 LEDs in series (18 × 3.2 V = 57.6 V). The actual limit depends on minimum required headroom (2.5 V) and worst-case VF variation across the string.
Can AL5809-30S1-7 be used in high-side configuration with AC input?
Yes - the AL5809-30S1-7's floating ground and 60 V IN–OUT rating allow safe high-side placement in rectified AC circuits. However, full-wave rectification and bulk capacitance must be used to ensure continuous conduction; zero-crossing dropout may cause visible flicker if not properly filtered.
Does AL5809-30S1-7 require a heatsink on standard FR-4 PCB?
No dedicated heatsink is required, but thermal performance depends on PCB layout. For full 30 mA operation at 60 V drop (1.8 W dissipation), the SOD-123 package demands a 50.8 mm × 50.8 mm 2 oz copper pad with ≥6 thermal vias to inner/ground layers. At lower VIN–OUT, minimal copper suffices.
Is AL5809-30S1-7 compatible with PWM dimming below 100 Hz?
No - the datasheet specifies guaranteed operation only between 100 Hz and 200 Hz. Below 100 Hz, the 500 µs minimum on/off time may cause incomplete current settling, leading to inconsistent brightness or audible coil whine in magnetic components. Use 100 Hz minimum for reliable dimming.
