Authorized distributor Mouser Electronics is now stocking the AL58818Q 18-channel linear LED driver from Diodes Incorporated.
This driver features 18 programmable LED current channels, each with internal 12-bit Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and 6-bit global current dimming for colour and brightness control through an I2C or SPI digital interface.
The device is ideal for up to six RGB LED lighting modules, featuring three programmable banks (A, B, C) for software control of each color, or 18 single-color LEDs with independent dimming for each channel.
An external resistor can set up the global output current of all 18 channels.
Each channel current can be digitally configured up to the thermal limitation of the package. The AEC-Q100 (Grade 1) qualified device operates over a -40°C to +125°C ambient temperature range and is available in a W-QFN5050-40/SWP (Type A1) MSL level 1 package.
The Diodes Incorporated AL58818Q 18-Channel Linear LED Driver is ideal for applications such as infotainment displays, automotive status indicator lights, touch panels, LCD displays, and automotive interior and exterior lighting.
