BCR402UW6
20 to 100mA LED CONSTANT CURRENT REGULATOR in SOT26
Description
Features
The BCR402UW6 monolithically integrates a transistor, diodes, and
resistors to function as a Constant Current Regulator (CCR) for LED
driving. The device regulates with a preset 20mA nominal that can be
adjusted with an external resistor up to 100mA. It is designed for
driving LEDs in strings and reduces current at increasing
temperatures to self-protect. Operating as a series linear CCR for
LED string current control, it can be used in applications with supply
voltages up to 40V.
LED Constant Current Regulator Using PNP Emitter-Follower
with Emitter Resistor to Current Limit
IOUT = 20mA ± 10% Constant Current (Preset)
IOUT up to 100mA Adjustable with an External Resistor
VS – 40V Supply Voltage
PD up to 1W in SOT26
LED Dimming Using PWM up to 25kHz
Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Reduces IOUT with
Increasing Temperature
Without requiring additional external components, this CCR is fully
integrated into the SOT26 package, minimizing PCB area and
component count.
