Product details
Overview
AL5809-90QP1-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 3 qualified, two-terminal linear constant current LED driver in PowerDI123 (Type B) package, delivering a fixed 90mA ±5% output with 2.5V–60V operating voltage range and 20ppm/°C temperature stability. It supports both high-side and low-side LED string configurations and withstands 80V transient input for automotive interior lamps and parking lights.
For engineers reviewing the AL5809-90QP1-7 datasheet, AL5809-90QP1-7 pinout, AL5809-90QP1-7 application, or AL5809-90QP1-7 equivalent, key selection factors include its 90mA fixed current accuracy across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature, thermal shutdown at +165°C with +30°C hysteresis, and compatibility with PWM dimming down to 500µs pulse width.
Technical Context
The AL5809-90QP1-7 implements a precision current mirror architecture with an internal fixed reference resistor, enabling stable 90mA regulation without external components. Its low-dropout regulator powers the control block, and startup occurs at ~1.5V across terminals.
Thermal protection activates at +165°C junction temperature with +30°C hysteresis, ensuring safe operation under overcurrent or high ambient conditions. The device operates with ≤1% line regulation over 2.5V–60V input range and maintains ±5% current tolerance from –40°C to +150°C.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for AL5809-90QP1-7 to begin regulating current?
The AL5809-90QP1-7 turns on after a short delay once the voltage across its IN and OUT terminals reaches approximately 1.5V, with guaranteed operation above 2.5V. This 1.5V threshold enables reliable startup even during cold-cranking events where battery voltage dips to 6–9V, provided the LED string forward voltage remains within operational limits.
Can AL5809-90QP1-7 be used in high-side configuration with common-anode LED arrays?
Yes - the AL5809-90QP1-7 supports high-side driving: connect the LED anode to the OUT pin and cathode to ground or current sink. Its two-terminal architecture functions identically in high-side or low-side mode, maintaining 90mA regulation regardless of orientation, as confirmed by Figures 1 and 2 in the DS38233 datasheet.
How does thermal shutdown behavior affect system reliability in enclosed lamp housings?
The AL5809-90QP1-7 shuts down at +165°C junction temperature and resumes operation only after cooling by +30°C (to +135°C), preventing thermal cycling. In sealed automotive lamps, this hysteresis avoids repeated on/off toggling during transient overheating, preserving LED lifetime and ensuring graceful degradation rather than catastrophic failure.
Is parallel connection of multiple AL5809-90QP1-7 devices supported for higher total current?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly shows parallel configuration (Figure 3) to scale current output. Two AL5809-90QP1-7 devices deliver 180mA with matched current sharing due to inherent process-matched current mirrors. Layout must ensure symmetrical thermal coupling and equal trace impedance to maintain ≤5% current imbalance between units.
