RT8494
High Voltage High Current LED Driver Controller for
Buck, Boost or Buck-Boost Topology
General Description
The RT8494 is a current mode PWM controller designed
to drive an external MOSFET for high current LED
applications. With a current sense amplifier threshold of
190mV, the LED current is programmable with one
external current sense resistor. With the maximum
operating input voltage of 36V and output voltage up to
90V, the RT8494 is ideal for Buck, Boost or Buck-Boost
operation.
With the switching frequency programmable over 100kHz
to 1MHz, the external inductor and capacitors can be small
while maintaining high efficiency.
Dimming can be done by either analog or digital. The built-
in clamping comparator and filter allow easy low noise
analog dimming conversion from digital signal with only
one external capacitor.
The RT8494 is available in SOP-14 package.
