High-Voltage, 3-Channel Linear High-Brightness
LED Driver with Open LED Detection
The MAX16823 three-channel current regulator operates
from a 5.5V to 40V input voltage range and delivers up
to 100mA per channel to one or more strings of
HBLEDs. The output currents are programmable using
external current-sense resistors in series with the LEDs.
Three DIM inputs allow a wide range of independent
pulsed dimming in addition to providing the on and off
control of the outputs. The MAX16823 offers an LED-
GOOD output that indicates an open-circuit condition
when one or more LED channels are open.
Integrated pass elements minimize external compo-
nents while providing ±5% output current accuracy.
Additional features include a 3.4V (±5%) voltage regula-
tor with 4mA output current capability, short-circuit and
thermal protection.
The MAX16823 uses a feedback loop to linearly control
the current from each output. The voltage across each
sense resistor is compared to a fixed reference voltage
and the error is amplified to drive the internal power
pass device for a particular channel. See the Block
Diagram . The regulation point is factory-set at 203mV.
The regulated current is adjusted by the value of
R
The MAX16823 is a constant-current LED driver inter-
nally optimized for driving the impedance range
expected from one or more HBLEDs.
The MAX16823 includes a fixed 3.4V voltage regulator
that delivers up to 4mA of load current for auxiliary
applications throughout the 5.5V to 40V input voltage
range. Connect a 0.1µF compensation capacitor from
REG to ground. Shorting REG to ground disables the
thermal shutdown.
The MAX16823 enters a thermal-shutdown mode in the
event of overheating. This typically occurs in overload or
output short-circuit conditions. When the junction temper-
ature exceeds T
tion circuitry turns off the series pass elements. The
MAX16823 recovers from thermal-shutdown mode once
the junction temperature drops by 23°C. The part will
therefore protect itself by low-frequency thermal cycling
in the event of a short-circuit or overload condition.

Thermal Protection
The MAX16823 uses sense resistors to set the output
current for each channel. To set the LED current for a
particular channel, connect a sense resistor across the
corresponding current-sense input (CS_) and GND. For
optimal accuracy, connect the low-side of the current-
sense resistors to the IC’s ground pin with short traces.
The value needed for the sense resistor for a given cur-
rent can be calculated with the equation below:
