MAX6966AEE+

The MAX6966AEE+ is an integrated PMIC - LED driver designed for medium to large scale LED applications. It provides a simple, efficient, and cost-effective platform for controlling and driving LEDs for both general and specialized applications. The MAX6966AEE+ is designed to provide both analog and digital control of brightness. The MAX6966AEE+ is a high efficiency, low power, and high output power PMIC - LED driver, perfect for applications that require minimal heat dissipation.

The MAX6966AEE+ operates using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and Direct Pulse Current (DPC) control. PWM allows a wide range of levels of brightness up to the device’s maximum output to be achieved through the simple manipulation of duty cycle. The DPC control allows for a constant current output which can be pre-set with a simple resistor calculation. The combination of these two control methods allows for a variety of applications and provides users with more control and flexibility.

The MAX6966AEE+ integrates a high voltage power MOSFET switch with a comparable and compatible circuit. This allows for higher efficiency and improved load matching compared to traditional discrete devices. The MAX6966AEE+ also minimalizes the power dissipated in maximized load conditions, allowing for higher performance, longer life, and higher current handling for most applications.

The MAX6966AEE+ features a wide input voltage range of 7 to 45 volts and gives a maximum output voltage of 19 volts. The maximum output current is 1 amp, with a minimum switch current of 300 mA and a 1 mA of current sink in the off-state. The device also offers a slew rate control, providing support for fast reaction times to LED changes while minimizing the total harmonic distortion (THD).

In addition, the MAX6966AEE+ includes a number of safety features to ensure proper operation. These include over temperature protection, a maximum voltage rating of 50 volts to ensure protection when the device is connected to over-voltage sources, a reverse polarity protection circuit, as well as a short protection feature.

The MAX6966AEE+ is designed for hot-swap and hot-plug applications such as LED tube lights, LED screens, LED traffic lights and LED panel lighting. Its high efficiency performance and safety features make it an ideal choice for applications requiring medium to large scale LED lighting solutions. With its combination of analog and digital control, the MAX6966AEE+ is the ideal solution for customizing the brightness and color of your LED application.
