Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum output current per channel?

Each channel can sink up to 90 mA of constant current.

How is the maximum channel current set?

The maximum channel current is set by an external resistor (R​EXT) connected between the R​EXT pin and PGND; the current equals the resistor value multiplied by 38.4.

What is the logic supply voltage range for the A6285?

The device operates with a logic supply voltage between 3.0 V and 5.5 V.

How many channels does the A6285 provide?

The A6285 provides 16 constant‑current sink channels.
