RT8452 Buck (multi-topology) LED driver IC overview
Description
RT8452 is a non-sync DC/DC Buck (multi-topology) LED driver IC from . Maximum input voltage is 36.0 V and it drives an output current of up to 2.00 A. Assuming a typical 3.5V LED forward voltage RT8452 can drive up to 8 LED in series.
The LED Buck (multi-topology) driver IC features fixed 350 kHz switching frequency, a feedback voltage of 0.19 V and requires a typical inductor size of 47.0 uH. This combination results in a peak efficiency of ~95 %. RT8452 comes in 2 package option(s) - WQFN-16 SOP-16 .
