The BCR401U linear LED driver IC is tailored to drive low power LEDs in general and automotive lighting applications.
Feature
LED drive current preset to 10 mA
Output current adjustable by resistor up to 65 mA
Supply voltage up to 40 V
High side current control, PNP transistor power stage
PWM dimmable by external transistor
Up to 750 mW power dissipation in a small SC74 package
Negative thermal coefficient reduces output current at higher temperatures
Automotive qualified according to AEC Q101
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
Applications
LED strips, signage and channel letters
Commercial, architectural and residential lighting
Shop, ship, train and aircraft lighting
Automotive interior lighting
