## Description
LED Driver IC 1 Output DC DC Controller SEPIC, Step-Down (Buck), Step-Up (Boost) Analog, PWM Dimming 8-SO-EP
# AL8866QSP-13 Engineering Specifications
**General Description**
The AL8866QSP-13 is an automotive-qualified, multi-topology DC-switching LED controller manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It is designed to control an external power MOSFET for high-power automotive LED lighting systems.
The device supports buck, boost, buck-boost and single-ended primary-inductance converter configurations. Its wide input-voltage range makes it suitable for automotive power systems and various high-voltage LED applications.
The controller uses fixed-frequency peak current-mode regulation with spread-spectrum frequency modulation to reduce electromagnetic interference. It supports both analog and pulse-width-modulation dimming through the DIM input.
An integrated programmable soft-start function gradually increases the inductor and switching currents during startup to reduce output-voltage and current stress. The open-drain fault output provides system-level fault reporting for abnormal operating conditions.
