Linear LED driver IC for low power LEDs
The BCR401W linear LED driver IC is tailored to drive low power LEDs in general and automotive lighting applications.
Summary of Features
LED drive current preset to 10mA
Output current adjustable by resistor up to 60mA
Supply voltage up to 18V
High side current control, PNP transistor power stage
PWM dimmable by external transistor
Up to 500mW power dissipation in a small SOT343 package
Negative thermal coefficient reduces output current at higher temperatures
Automotive qualified according to AEC Q101
Benefits
Driving current always under control for homogenous light output
Longer lifetime of the LEDs due to reduced output current at higher temperatures (negative thermal coefficient)
Easy paralleling of drivers to increase current
Contributes to longevity and reliability of LED system
Potential Applications
LED strips, signage and channel letters
Commercial, architectural and residential lighting
Shop, ship, train and aircraft lighting
Automotive interior lighting
Applications
Reversible seatbelt pretensioner
