SCT2008S V01_01; Jun/09
8-Channel Constant Current Driver
Product Description
The SCT2008S is an eight channels constant current driver best for LED lighting. It
provides the PWM control effect by sinking constant current from LED clusters with
minimum pulse width 200ns. The PWM control is performed by connecting the PWM
signal from system control unit to OE pin of the SCT2008S. The full scale current value
of each output is set by an external resistor connected to REXT pin.
The SCT2008S guarantees to endure maximum DC 24V at each output port. Each
output of SCT2008S can sink a constant current up to 90mA. Users can simply shunt
the outputs to get higher current driverꢀability, especially in the case of high power LED
lighting.
The excellent current regulation capability allows SCT2008S easily drive each output
current to a constant stable output nearly without affected by power supply of LED,
loading due to variant VF of LEDs and operating temperature. The SCT2008S is
equipped with over temperature protection. The eight channels IC stops driving the
output while junction temperature exceeds 160°C the high limit and the output will be
reactivated while the junction temperature is below 110°C the low limit. In conclusion,
the driver system is protected from damage of overheated.
