Product details
Overview
ALED1262ZTTR from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade 12-channel constant-current LED driver in HTSSOP24 exposed pad package, featuring 19 V output voltage capability, 6–60 mA per channel programmable current via single REXT, 7-bit local PWM dimming, open-LED detection, and dual-mode operation (I²C bus-driven or standalone OTP-configured). It targets rear and interior automotive lighting where robust fault reporting, EMI-reduced slow turn-on/off, and thermal shutdown at 170 °C are critical.
For engineers reviewing the ALED1262ZTTR datasheet, ALED1262ZTTR pinout, ALED1262ZTTR application, or ALED1262ZTTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5.5–38 V wide input range eliminating external pre-regulation, wired-OR FLG fault flag architecture, 400 kHz I²C interface with Hamming encoding, and thermal flag alert at 140 °C - all validated for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance.
Technical Context
The ALED1262ZTTR integrates twelve low-side current sinks with matched regulation across channels, driven by a precision bandgap reference (1.233 V) and mirrored current architecture. Its internal LDO3 (3.3 V ±3%) powers digital blocks and serves as external reference, while UVLO (1.7–1.85 V falling) and PG threshold (1.9–2.0 V) enable reliable power sequencing in automotive battery environments.
It supports two independent operational modes: Bus-Driven Mode (BDM) using 400 kHz I²C with extended Hamming encoding for error resilience, and Standalone Mode (SAM) using OTP-programmed configurations selected via OTP1/2 pins. Fault handling includes open-LED detection per channel, thermal flag (140 °C), and full thermal shutdown (170 °C) with 15 °C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output channels | 12 independent low-side constant-current sinks, each capable of driving series-connected LEDs up to 19 V total forward drop |
| Output current range | 6 mA to 60 mA per channel, set precisely by one external resistor (REXT = 4.99 kΩ to 49.9 kΩ) |
| Supply voltage range | 5.5 V to 38 V on VDDA - accommodates automotive load dump without external protection circuitry |
| I²C interface | 400 kHz fast-mode with selectable extended Hamming encoding - ensures data integrity in noisy vehicle environments |
| Thermal protection | Overtemperature alert at 140 °C (Tflg) and automatic shutdown at 170 °C (Tsd), both with defined hysteresis |
| Dimming control | 7-bit local PWM (200–240 Hz) per channel + global PWM (500 Hz) on GPWM pin - enables fine-grained brightness tuning and synchronized flicker-free dimming |
| Fault reporting | Open-LED detection per channel; FLG pin supports wired-OR fault aggregation across multiple drivers on shared bus |
Pinout & Package
Package: HTSSOP24 with exposed thermal pad (must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance; Rthj-b = 22.8 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDD | Digital supply input | Supplies MCU-side logic (4.5–5.5 V); device enters SAM if <2.9 V; must slew ≤0.17 V/µs to avoid internal overvoltage |
| SDA / SCL | I²C bidirectional data / clock | 400 kHz interface with pull-up required externally; supports Hamming-encoded communication for noise immunity |
| VDDA | Analog main supply | 5.5–38 V input powering LED current sinks; supports pulsed dimming (100/200 Hz) without regulation loss |
| REXT | Current programming node | Connects external resistor to GND; sets all 12 channels' current via IOUT = 1.233 V / REXT × 240 |
| FLG | Open-drain fault flag | Wired-OR compatible; asserts low on open-LED, thermal alert, or shutdown; level-shifts automatically between VDDD and LDO3 |
| GPWM | Global PWM dimming input | Accepts 500 Hz square wave ≥20 µs high pulse; synchronizes all channels; connect to LDO3 if unused |
| OUT0–OUT11 | Low-side current outputs | 12 independent sink terminals; each rated for 19 V max dropout; turn-on/off slowed to reduce EMI |
| Exposed pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be connected to PCB ground plane; primary thermal path - improves Rthj-b by >40% vs. non-soldered pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C ambient), qualified for exterior lighting systems |
| EMI reduction architecture | Gradual output turn-on/off timing + internal dithered clock - lowers peak spectral energy for CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance |
| Redundant configuration | OTP-based dual configuration storage (SAM_conf_1 / SAM_conf_2) with ECC and redundancy - enables fail-safe recovery after bus disconnect |
| Power supply flexibility | VDDA-only operation supported; VDDD optional - simplifies system partitioning in mixed-domain architectures |
| Error detection coverage | Per-channel open-LED detection + thermal flag + PG monitoring - provides layered fault visibility for ASIL-B relevant subsystems |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 12-channel automotive LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC59284RTJR | 16-channel, 3.3 V only VDD; no open-LED detection; no thermal flag; no automotive qualification | Limited to 12 V systems; unsuitable for exterior lighting due to lack of AEC-Q100 rating and fault reporting | Select only for non-automotive interior modules with fixed 3.3 V rail and no safety-critical fault handling |
| ASL2415SHN | 12-channel, 40 V max VDD; integrated diagnostics; SPI interface; higher quiescent current (3.5 mA vs. 0.7 mA) | Requires SPI host; lacks local 7-bit PWM (only global dimming); no LDO3 output for peripheral supply | Prefer when SPI infrastructure exists and diagnostic depth exceeds ALED1262ZTTR's capabilities - e.g., predictive maintenance logging |
Compared with TLC59284RTJR and ASL2415SHN, the ALED1262ZTTR uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 7-bit per-channel PWM, integrated LDO3, and wired-OR FLG - making it the only option qualified for safety-critical rear lighting with full fault visibility and thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of LEDs that can be driven in series per channel?
Each channel supports up to 19 V of LED forward voltage drop. For standard red LEDs (~2.1 V VF), this allows up to nine in series; for white LEDs (~3.2 V VF), up to five. The actual count depends on VF tolerance, temperature drift, and minimum dropout voltage (510 mV at 60 mA, 25 °C), which must be maintained across the current sink.
How does the wired-OR FLG connection work with multiple ALED1262ZTTR devices?
All FLG pins are connected to a single external pull-down resistor (e.g., 2.2 kΩ to GND). Any device detecting open-LED, thermal alert, or shutdown pulls FLG low. The internal high-side driver auto-selects between VDDD (if present) or LDO3 (if VDDD absent) to ensure logic-level compatibility across shared domains without external level shifters.
Can the ALED1262ZTTR operate without an I²C controller?
Yes - in Standalone Mode (SAM), it uses OTP-programmed configurations selected by OTP1/2 pin states. No external MCU is needed for basic operation; current is set by REXT, global dimming by GPWM, and fault reporting via FLG. I²C is optional for dynamic reconfiguration or diagnostics.
What is the role of the LDO3 pin beyond powering internal circuits?
LDO3 delivers a regulated 3.3 V ±3% output capable of sourcing up to 200 µA. It serves as external reference for ADCs or comparators, powers small peripherals (e.g., sensor bias), and acts as "tank capacitor" hold-up during VDDA pulsed dimming - preserving register state when main supply is modulated at 100/200 Hz.
