Product details
Overview
HV9923N3-G from Microchip Technology is a 3-pin, fixed off-time buck-mode LED driver IC with integrated 475V MOSFET, delivering constant 30mA output current for universal AC input (85–264VAC) or DC input (20–400VDC) operation in decorative and low-power lighting fixtures.
For engineers reviewing the HV9923N3-G datasheet, HV9923N3-G pinout, HV9923N3-G application, or HV9923N3-G equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to TO-92, confirmed 30mA current regulation, 10.5μs typical off-time, and validated alternatives for LED lamp driver design.
Technical Context
The HV9923N3-G implements a peak-current-controlled, fixed off-time (TOFF ≈ 10.5μs) buck converter operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM), using an internal 475V MOSFET with 210Ω typical RON. It integrates a 7.5V VDD linear regulator powered from the DRAIN pin and features 300ns leading-edge blanking to suppress false triggering.
Current regulation is achieved via internal threshold comparison (ITHL = 28.2–38.2mA) against sensed drain current, with UVLO at 5.0V and 200mV hysteresis. The device requires no external current-sense resistor and supports triac dimmer compatibility in AC-fed configurations.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL8862SP-13 | External MOSFET required; adjustable current (10–150mA); 600V rating | Requires current-set resistor and gate driver; better suited for higher-power or programmable designs | Choose when design flexibility or >30mA output is needed; not drop-in due to external FET requirement |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the HV9923N3-G can handle?
The HV9923N3-G supports input voltages up to 400VDC or 264VAC RMS (≈373V peak). Its internal 475V MOSFET breakdown voltage provides sufficient margin for transient surges on universal AC lines. Operation beyond 400VDC risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage.
Does the HV9923N3-G require an external current-sense resistor?
No, the HV9923N3-G does not require an external current-sense resistor. It uses internal peak-current sensing with a factory-trimmed threshold of 28.2–38.2mA to regulate LED current at 30mA. This eliminates component count, layout sensitivity, and tolerance drift associated with external resistors.
Can the HV9923N3-G be used with triac dimmers?
Yes, the HV9923N3-G is explicitly designed for triac dimmer compatibility in AC-powered LED lamps. Its fixed off-time control architecture maintains stable 30mA output despite phase-cut waveform distortion, enabling smooth dimming without auxiliary synchronization or complex compensation networks.
What package type is used for the HV9923N3-G?
The HV9923N3-G uses the TO-92 package (3-lead through-hole), identified by the "N3" suffix per Microchip's part numbering system. It features a thermal resistance of 132°C/W and is marked "HV9923 N3 e3" with Pb-free matte tin plating compliant with ROHS.
How is the VDD supply generated in the HV9923N3-G?
The HV9923N3-G generates its VDD supply internally from the DRAIN pin via an integrated high-voltage linear regulator that delivers a regulated 7.5V output. This eliminates the need for an auxiliary winding or external bias supply, simplifying design and reducing component count in offline LED drivers.
