Product details
Overview
AL5809-50P1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a two-terminal constant current linear LED driver in PowerDI123 package, delivering 50mA ±5% regulated current over -40°C to +125°C with 20ppm/°C temperature drift and 2.5V–60V input-to-output voltage range. It supports both high-side and low-side LED string configurations for offline AC/DC LED lamps and signage.
For engineers reviewing the AL5809-50P1-7 datasheet, AL5809-50P1-7 pinout, AL5809-50P1-7 application, or AL5809-50P1-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its floating-ground 60V VIN-OUT rating, thermal shutdown at +165°C, ±5% current accuracy across temperature, and compatibility with PWM dimming via external MOSFET switching at 100–200Hz.
Technical Context
The AL5809-50P1-7 integrates an internal fixed-current reference resistor and precision current mirror to deliver stable 50mA output without external components. Its LDO-based regulation block enables operation down to 2.5V VIN-OUT, supporting long LED strings in high-voltage offline applications.
It features built-in thermal shutdown (TSHDN = +165°C, hysteresis = +30°C), 4kV HBM ESD protection, and operates with ≤1% line regulation over 2.5V–60V input swing. The device's floating ground architecture isolates the control circuitry from system ground, enabling direct series connection with LED chains.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL5809-50S1-7 | SOD-123 package, lower power rating (0.36W), higher θJA = 278°C/W | Limited to low-power indicator LEDs (<20mA equivalent dissipation); unsuitable for >30mA continuous operation in enclosed fixtures | Select only when board space is critical and thermal budget allows ≤150mW dissipation at 50mA. |
| NSI50010YT1G | Onsemi 50mA two-terminal driver; 40V max VIN-OUT, ±3% accuracy, -40°C to +125°C | Lower voltage headroom limits LED string length in 120VAC applications; tighter current tolerance but reduced surge margin | Prefer where absolute current precision outweighs high-voltage robustness - e.g., battery-powered portable lighting. |
Compared with AL5809-50S1-7, the -50P1-7 offers 3.5× higher power handling and superior thermal performance for sustained 50mA operation; versus NSI50010YT1G, it provides +20V higher voltage tolerance critical for offline AC/DC LED lamp reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by AL5809-50P1-7?
The AL5809-50P1-7 supports up to 60V across its IN and OUT terminals. For a 50mA LED string with typical 3.2V per white LED, this allows up to 18 LEDs in series (60V ÷ 3.2V ≈ 18.75). Actual count depends on forward voltage variation and minimum 2.5V dropout requirement.
Can AL5809-50P1-7 be used in high-side configuration with common-anode LED arrays?
Yes. In high-side configuration, connect the LED anode to the IN pin and LED cathode to the OUT pin. The device's floating ground architecture enables direct series insertion into the high-side path without level shifters, maintaining full 60V isolation capability.
Does AL5809-50P1-7 require external capacitors or compensation networks?
No. The AL5809-50P1-7 is internally compensated and requires no external capacitors for stable operation. Its two-terminal design eliminates all external passive components - only the LED string is needed for basic functionality.
How does thermal shutdown behave under sustained overload conditions?
Thermal shutdown activates at +165°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis. Once triggered, the device disables current flow until junction temperature drops to +135°C, then resumes regulation. This protects against permanent damage during prolonged overvoltage or poor heatsinking.
