Description

These Linear LED drivers are designed to meet the stringent requirements of automotive applications.

The BCR420UFDQ and BCR421UFDQ monolithically integrate transistors, diodes and resistors to function as a Constant Current Regulator (CCR) for linear LED driving. The device regulates with a preset 10mA nominal that can be adjusted with an external resistor up to 350mA. 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 multiple applications, as long as the maximum supply voltage to the device is < 40V.

With the low-side control, the BCR421UFDQ has an Enable (EN) pin which can be pulse-width modulated (PWM) up to 25kHz by a microcontroller for LED dimming.

With no need for additional external components, this CCR is fully integrated into a 2mm x 2mm x 0.6mm package (U-DFN2020-6) minimizing PCB area, off-board height, and component count.
