The A6213 is a single IC switching regulator that provides constant-current output to drive high-power LEDs. It integrates a high-side N-channel DMOS switch for DC-to-DC step-down (buck) conversion. A true average current is output using a cycle-by-cycle, controlled on-time method.\nOutput current is user-selectable by an external current sense resistor. Output voltage is automatically adjusted to drive various numbers of LEDs in a single string. This ensures the optimal system efficiency.\nLED dimming is accomplished by a direct logic input pulse width modulation (PWM) signal at the enable pin. The device is provided in a compact 8-pin narrow SOIC package (suffix LJ) with exposed pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. It is lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.\nApplications:\nAutomotive lighting\n Daytime running lights Front and rear fog lights Turn/stop lights Map light Dimmable interior lights
