The MAX16805/MAX16806 LED drivers eliminate the need for microcontrollers or switch-mode converters. An EEPROM-programmable LED current-sense reference simplifies production by using one sense resistor to set the LED current for all LED bins. A dual-mode DIM pin and an on-board 200Hz ramp generator allow for PWM dimming with an analog or PWM control signal. The analog control signal at dimming input DIM allows for the "theater dimming" effect to be implemented. Fast turn-on/-off times ensure a wide-range PWM operation, while waveshaping circuitry minimizes EMI. EEPROM-programmable LED current foldback makes it possible to operate at a high input voltage, while saving the cost and space associated with having a large heatsink. The MAX16806 works with an external thermal sensor to maintain maximum LED junction temperature by folding back the LED current. The thermal foldback temperature knee and slope are EEPROM programmable. The MAX16806 SW pin supplies necessary wetting current to a momentary switch.
