High Current LED Driver
This device is designed to replace discrete solutions for driving
LEDs in low voltage DC applications 5V, 12V or 24V. An external
resistor allows the circuit designer to set the drive current for different
LED arrays. This discrete integration technology eliminates individual
components by combining them into a single package, which results in
a significant reduction of both system cost & board space. The device
is a small surface mount package (SO–8).
