Product details
Overview
ASL2416SHN/L1Y from NXP Semiconductors is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified two-channel buck-mode LED driver IC for automotive exterior and interior lighting. It delivers constant average DC current up to 1.5 A per channel across input voltages from 10 V to 80 V, supports up to 20 LEDs per string, and features SPI-controlled current programming with ±5 % accuracy over −40 °C to +125 °C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the ASL2416SHN/L1Y datasheet, ASL2416SHN/L1Y pinout, ASL2416SHN/L1Y application, or ASL2416SHN/L1Y equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel independent dimming via PWM inputs, programmable hysteresis for ripple/frequency trade-off, integrated gate driver voltage regulation (VGG), output voltage monitoring up to 70 V, and diagnostic read-back of VIN, VLED, junction temperature, and current-reach status.
Technical Context
The ASL2416SHN/L1Y implements a hysteretic buck topology with two independent control loops, each regulating inductor current via external high-side N-channel MOSFETs driven by internal gate drivers supplied from an adjustable VGG regulator. Each channel supports programmable current range (±300 mV or ±120 mV sense voltage) and hysteresis level (4 settings), enabling switching frequency tuning from 100 kHz to 2 MHz.
It integrates bootstrap diodes, monitors VIN and VLED (on/off states), reports junction temperature (−40 °C to +175 °C), and provides fail-silent operation on thermal shutdown (>175 °C) or VGG error. Diagnostics-including open/short LED detection, current-reach status, and VIN_stat-are accessible via SPI registers at dedicated addresses (e.g., 0x20h–0x23h, 0x26h, 0x37h).

Pinout & Package
Housed in HVQFN32 (SOT617-12), 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.85 mm, with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (1, 32) | Chip ground reference | Primary return path for analog/digital circuits; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground plane. |
| VIN (31) | Main power input | Accepts 10–80 V supply; feeds internal regulators and gate drivers. |
| VCC (3) | External 5 V supply | Provides regulated 5 V for SPI interface and logic; not internally generated. |
| EN (4) | Enable control | Active-high digital input; disables all channels and gate drivers when low. |

| RH1/RL1, RH2/RL2 (24, 23, 18, 17) | Current sense terminals | High-side and low-side sense resistor connections per channel for accurate ILED regulation. |
| G1/G2 (26, 20) | Gate driver outputs | Drive external high-side N-MOSFETs; support logic- and standard-level FETs via programmable VGG. |
| LX1/LX2 (25, 21) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and cathode of LED string; critical for EMI layout and thermal management. |
| BS1/BS2 (27, 19) | Bootstrap supply | Charge path for high-side gate drive; integrated bootstrap diodes reduce external component count. |
| VGG (29) | Gate driver supply | Internally regulated output (programmable 5.58–10.20 V); powers G1/G2 drivers and BS circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar two-channel automotive LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NCV78763 | Two-channel linear + buck hybrid; max 150 mA/channel linear + 1.2 A buck; no SPI hysteresis control; uses I²C. | Targeted at lower-power interior lighting; lacks programmable hysteresis and VLED monitoring. | Choose for cost-sensitive interior map lights where high-current buck capability is unnecessary. |
| Infineon TLD5098EL | Single-channel synchronous buck; 1.5 A max; SPI interface; no dual-channel integration; requires two ICs for dual-string operation. | Requires duplicated layout and BOM for two strings; lacks integrated diagnostics like VLED(on/off) and Tj read-back. | Choose when channel isolation is critical and board space allows separate controllers per string. |
Compared with NCV78763 and TLD5098EL, the ASL2416SHN/L1Y uniquely integrates dual independent buck channels with SPI-accessible VLED diagnostics, programmable hysteresis, and a single-package solution that reduces PCB area, BOM count, and inter-channel timing skew-critical for adaptive front lighting systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of LEDs the ASL2416SHN/L1Y can drive per channel?
The ASL2416SHN/L1Y supports up to 20 LEDs per channel, enabled by its 70 V maximum output voltage capability and wide 2.5 V–70 V regulated LED voltage range. This allows series configurations of common white or amber automotive LEDs (typically 3–4 V each) while maintaining sufficient headroom for current regulation across temperature and input voltage variations. The actual count depends on forward voltage distribution and thermal design.
Does the ASL2416SHN/L1Y support independent current programming for each channel?
Yes, the ASL2416SHN/L1Y supports fully independent current programming for each channel via dedicated SPI registers: LED current channel 1 register (0x02h) and LED current channel 2 register (0x03h). Each register accepts 8-bit values and works with corresponding I_CH1/I_CH2 bits in the LED current range register (0x05h) to set sense voltage ranges (±300 mV or ±120 mV), enabling precise, mismatch-tolerant dual-string control.
How does the ASL2416SHN/L1Y detect LED open or short circuit conditions?
The ASL2416SHN/L1Y detects LED faults by measuring output voltage (VLED) in both on and off states via dedicated SPI-accessible registers (0x20h–0x23h). An open circuit shows near-zero VLED_on and high VLED_off; a short shows high VLED_on and near-zero VLED_off. These measurements-combined with current-reach status (I-CH1/I-CH2 bits in 0x37h)-enable reliable fault classification without external comparators.
What is the function of the VGG pin on the ASL2416SHN/L1Y?
The VGG pin on the ASL2416SHN/L1Y outputs an internally regulated gate driver supply voltage (programmable from 5.58 V to 10.20 V via register 0x01h). It powers the G1 and G2 gate drivers and BS1/BS2 bootstrap circuits, enabling compatibility with both logic-level and standard-level external N-channel MOSFETs. VGG_ok/VGG_err status bits (0x37h) provide real-time health monitoring.
Can the ASL2416SHN/L1Y operate with only one LED channel active?
Yes, the ASL2416SHN/L1Y supports single-channel operation. Either channel can be independently disabled via the PWMctrl1/PWMctrl2 bits in the function control register (0x00h), or by holding the corresponding PWM pin low. When one channel is inactive, the other operates normally with full current accuracy, diagnostics, and thermal management-no reconfiguration or hardware changes are required.
