MBI6656 Buck LED driver IC overview
Description
MBI6656 is a non-sync DC/DC Buck LED driver IC from . Maximum input voltage is 40.0 V and it drives an output current of up to 1.00 A. Assuming a typical 3.5V LED forward voltage MBI6656 can drive up to 7 LED in series.
The LED Buck driver IC features fixed 400 kHz switching frequency, a feedback voltage of 0.10 V and requires a typical inductor size of 68.0 uH. This combination results in a peak efficiency of ~95 %. MBI6656 comes in 4 package option(s) - SOT89-5 SOP-8 TO252-5 SOT23-6 .
