BCR402UW6Q
20 TO 100mA LED CONSTANT CURRENT REGULATOR IN SOT26
Description
Features
This Linear LED driver is designed to meet the stringent requirements
of automotive applications.
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
The BCR402UW6Q 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 will reduce 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.
PD up to 1W in SOT26
LED Dimming Using PWM up to 25kHz
Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) Reduces IOUT with
Increasing Temperature
Parallel Devices to Increase Regulated Current
Totally Lead-Free & Fully RoHS Compliant (Notes 1 & 2)
Halogen and Antimony Free. “Green” Device (Note 3)
The BCR402UW6Q is suitable for automotive applications
requiring specific change control; this part is AEC-Q101
qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949
certified facilities.
With no need for additional external components, this CCR is fully
integrated into the SOT26, minimizing PCB area and component
count.
