30V 1A BUCK LED DRIVER
Description
The AP8803 is a step-down DC/DC converter designed to drive LEDs
with a constant current. The device can drive up to 7 LEDs,
depending on the forward voltage of the LEDs, in series from a
voltage source of 8V to 30V. Series connection of the LEDs provides
identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating
the need for ballast resistors. The AP8803 switches at frequency up
to 700kHz. This allows the use of small size external components,
hence minimizing the PCB area needed.
Maximum output current of AP8803 is set via an external resistor
connected between the V
IN
and SET input pins. Dimming is achieved
by applying either a DC voltage or a PWM signal at the CTRL input
pin. An input voltage of 0.2V or lower at CTRL shuts down the output
at SW and puts the device into a low-current standby state.

OUTnom
Input voltage of 0.2V or lower forces the device into low current standby mode and shuts off the output. A PWM signal
allows the output current to be adjusted above or below the level set by the resistor connected to SET input pin.

Caution: Stresses greater than the 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' specified above, may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only;
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions exceeding those indicated in this specification is not implied. Device reliability may be
affected by exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods of time.
Semiconductor devices are ESD sensitive and may be damaged by exposure to ESD events. Suitable ESD precautions should be taken when
handling and transporting these devices

Notes: 4. For most applications the LED current will be within 8% over the duty cycle range specified. Duty cycle accuracy is also dependent on
propagation delay. Smaller size inductors can be used but LED current accuracy may be greater than 8% at extremes of duty cycle. This is
most noticeable at low duty cycles (less than 0.1) or when the input voltage is high and only one LED is being driven.
