Product details
Overview
ASL2416SHNY 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 with ±5 % accuracy across −40 °C to +125 °C, supports input voltages from 10 V to 80 V, regulates output voltage up to 70 V, and drives up to 20 LEDs per string in high-side N-MOSFET configurations.
For engineers reviewing the ASL2416SHNY datasheet, ASL2416SHNY pinout, ASL2416SHNY application, or ASL2416SHNY equivalent, key selection considerations include its SPI-programmable current and hysteresis, dual independent PWM dimming inputs, integrated gate driver supply (VGG), LED open/short diagnostics via output voltage measurement, and thermal shutdown at +175 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The ASL2416SHNY implements a hysteretic buck topology with independently controlled channels, each regulating inductor current via external high-side N-MOSFETs. Its programmable hysteresis (via SPI register 0x0B/0x0C) sets switching frequency between 100 kHz and 2 MHz while balancing ripple and efficiency.
It integrates a linear regulator for adjustable gate drive voltage (VGG, 5.58 V–10.20 V via register 0x01h), bootstrap diodes, and real-time diagnostics including VIN monitoring, junction temperature readback (register 0x26h), and per-channel current-reach status (bits I-CH1/I-CH2 in register 0x37h).

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NCV78763 | Two-channel buck controller with integrated gate drivers; supports up to 60 V input; ±3 % current accuracy; no integrated bootstrap diodes | Requires external bootstrap diodes; lower max input voltage; higher current accuracy but lacks VGG programmability | Preferred where tighter current tolerance is critical and board space allows external diodes |

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by the ASL2416SHNY?
The ASL2416SHNY supports an output voltage of up to 70 V, enabling configurations with up to 20 white LEDs (assuming ~3.5 V forward voltage per LED). This rating is specified under full operating conditions and accounts for headroom required by the buck topology. The actual usable string voltage depends on input voltage, sense resistor value, and hysteresis setting - all configurable via SPI registers 0x02h–0x0Ch and validated in the static characteristics section of the datasheet.
How does the ASL2416SHNY detect LED open or short circuits?
The ASL2416SHNY detects LED faults by measuring output voltage during PWM high and low states using dedicated registers (0x20h–0x23h). When the LED string is open, V_LEDx_on reads near VIN; when shorted, V_LEDx_off reads near 0 V. These values are converted using the formula 0.3548 × register_value − 0.56 V. The microcontroller compares these readings against expected thresholds to classify faults - no external ADC or comparator is required for basic open/short detection in the ASL2416SHNY.
Can the ASL2416SHNY drive both LED channels simultaneously with different currents?
Yes, the ASL2416SHNY supports independent current programming for each channel via separate SPI registers: LED current channel 1 (0x02h) and channel 2 (0x03h), along with corresponding hysteresis (0x0Bh/0x0Ch) and range bits (I_CH1/I_CH2 in 0x05h). Each channel uses its own RHx/RLx sense network and Gx/LXx switching path, enabling simultaneous operation at distinct current levels - for example, 300 mA on channel 1 and 800 mA on channel 2 - with ±5 % accuracy maintained per channel across temperature.
What is the purpose of the VGG pin on the ASL2416SHNY, and how is it configured?
The VGG pin on the ASL2416SHNY provides the regulated gate drive supply for external high-side N-MOSFETs. Its output voltage (5.58 V to 10.20 V) is set via the VGG control register (0x01h), with 0xA6h–0x5Dh being valid codes. The ASL2416SHNY monitors VGG status through diagnostic bits VGG_ok and VGG_err in register 0x37h. If VGG overload occurs, the regulator shuts down and VGG_err is asserted - requiring firmware intervention before recovery. Immediate read-back after write is mandatory to verify correct VGG programming in the ASL2416SHNY.
Does the ASL2416SHNY require external bootstrap diodes?
No, the ASL2416SHNY integrates bootstrap diodes internally, eliminating the need for external components between BSx and LXx pins. This integration reduces bill-of-materials count and PCB footprint while maintaining reliable bootstrap capacitor recharge during normal switching (when LXx is low) and during extended PWM-off periods via the built-in charge-maintaining mechanism. The internal diodes are rated for the full operating voltage range and support the specified 100 kHz–2 MHz switching frequency band in the ASL2416SHNY.
