MAX16836EVKIT+

General Description
The MAX16836 current regulator operates from a 6.5V
to 40V input-voltage range and delivers up to a total of
350mA to one or more strings of high-brightness LEDs
(HB LEDs). The output current of the MAX16836 is
adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in
series with the LEDs. A dimming input allows wide-
range “pulsed” PWM operation. Wave-shaping circuitry
reduces EMI. The differential current-sense input
increases noise immunity. The MAX16836 is well suited
for applications requiring a high-voltage input and is
able to withstand automotive load-dump events up to
40V. An on-board pass element minimizes external
components while providing ±3.5% output-current
accuracy. Additional features include a 5V regulated
output and short-circuit and thermal protection.
The MAX16836 is available in a thermally enhanced,
5mm x 5mm, 16-pin TQFN package and in an 8-pin SO
package with exposed pad. The MAX16836 is specified
over the automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
