About this manual

The A6213 is a single IC switching regulator designed to provide constant-current output for driving high-power LEDs in automotive lighting applications. It features a high-side N-channel DMOS switch for DC-to-DC step-down (buck) conversion and integrates a true average current control method using a cycle-by-cycle, controlled on-time technique. The device is available in a compact 8-pin narrow SOIC package with an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation.
