The BCR420U/BCR421U monolithically integrates a transistor, 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 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 < 40V.
With the low-side control, the BCR421U has an Enable (EN) pin which can be pulse-width modulated (PWM) up to 10 kHz by a micro controller for LED dimming.
With no need for additional external components, this CCR is fully integrated into a SOT26 minimizing PCB area and component count.
