A80601 andHigh Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive BoostA80601-1 for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output RippleDESCRIPTION (continued) Switching frequency can be externally synchronized or programmed between 200 kHz and 2.3 MHz. This allows operation either above or below the AM band. A programmable dithering feature further reduces EMI. A Clock-Out is provided for other converters to sync to the A80601. The A80601 provides protection against output short, overvoltage, open- or shorted-LED pin, and overtemperature. A cycle-by-cycle current limit protects the external boost switch against high current overloads. An external P-MOSFET can optionally be used to disconnect input supply in case of output to ground short fault. The A80601-1 is similar to A80601 except it adopts ‘One-Out-All-Out’ fault handling (See Fault Table section for details).
