Ultra-Low Dropout Linear LED Driver from Diodes Incorporated Extends Lighting Strips
07 Januar 2020 - 12:00PM
Business Wire
Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD) today announced the BCR430UW6
linear LED driver with ultra-low dropout voltage and constant
current regulation between 5mA and 100mA. This combination allows
more LEDs to be driven from a low supply voltage, making the
BCR430UW6 suitable for applications that require multiple LEDs to
operate together, such as signage illumination and architectural
lighting for commercial and retail installations.
The ultra-low dropout voltage of 115mV and low operating current
of just 285μA provides a greater level of system efficiency and
scope to drive more LEDs per string reliably. These factors are
particularly important in applications where the characteristics of
the lighting are essential to the user experience, such as signage
and architectural illumination.
The device requires no external power transistors or capacitors,
reducing the overall BoM cost and increasing system stability.
Long-term reliability is also improved through the robust design,
which is tolerant to overvoltage levels resulting from faults in
the LEDs or supply transients. Integrated thermal protection limits
the output current in the event of high operating temperatures,
avoiding operational failure and maximizing the working lifetime of
the LEDs.
With an adjustable output current level between 5mA and 100mA,
the BCR430UW6 can provide greater flexibility, allowing a single
design to be used to drive various LED configurations. The output
is highly stable, held at ±5% across temperature variations and
supply voltage fluctuations. This stability delivers a uniform
output lighting level under all operating conditions.
Other advanced features include PWM-based dimming, an operating
voltage range of 5V to 42V, and support for parallel operation to
further increase the regulated output current.
The BCR430UW6 is provided in a SOT26 package.
