## Description

The PicoBuck is a three-channel constant-current LED driver based on the AL8805. Each channel drives LEDs at 330 mA by default, with a solderable jumper to increase the maximum to 660 mA per channel. Dimming is controlled via PWM or analogue voltage signals from a microcontroller. The board supports input voltages up to 36 V (the full rating of the AL8805) and provides three independent signal inputs for individual or simultaneous channel dimming. Two snap-off mounting holes for 4-40 or M3 screws allow flexible installation. Key Features 3-Channel Constant Current – Independent control of three LED channels 330 mA Default – Jumper-selectable increase to 660 mA per channel PWM Dimming – 0–100% range (min <0.4 V, max >2.4 V) Analogue Dimming – 20–100% range (0.5–2.5 V) Wide Input Voltage – Up to 36 V DC Snap-Off Mounting Tabs – 4-40 or M3 screw holes, removable for compact installation Specifications Driver IC – AL8805W5 Default Current – 330 mA per channel Max Current – 660 mA per channel (with jumper) Input Voltage – Up to 36 V DC Channels – 3 Note: If using screw terminals, this board requires two different sizes — check related products for compatible terminals.
