General Description
The BCR 402U E6327 is a cost efficient LED driver to drive low power LEDs. The advantages towards resistor
biasing are:
•
•
•
•
homogenous light output despite varying forward voltages in different LED strings
homogenous light output of LEDs despite voltage drop across long supply lines
homogenous light output independent from supply voltage variations
longer lifetime of the LEDs due to reduced output current at higher temperatures (negative thermal coefficient)
The advantages towards discrete solutions are:
•
•
•
•
lower assembly cost
smaller form factor
higher reliability due to less soldering joints
higher output current accuracy due to pretested LED drivers
Dimming is possible by using an external digital transistor at the ground pin.
The BCR 402U E6327 can be operated at higher supply voltages by putting LEDs between the supply voltage VS
and the power supply pin of the LED driver. You can find further details in our application notes.
The BCR 402U E6327 is a perfect fit for numerous low power LED applications by combining small form factor
with low cost. These LED drivers offer several advantages to resistors like significantly higher current control at
very low voltage drop ensuring high lifetime of LEDs.

Figure 4-2 Application Circuit: Boost mode current source with external power transistor
Application hints
BCR 402U E6327 serves as an easy to use constant current source for LEDs. In stand alone application an
external resistor Rext can be connected to adjust the current between 20 mA and 65 mA. Rext can be determined
by using Figure 3-8. Connecting a low tolerance resistor Rext will improve the overall accuracy of the current sense
resistance formed by the parallel connection of Rint and Rext leading to an improved current accuracy. Please take
into account that the resulting output currents will be slightly lower due to the self heating of the component and
the negative thermal coefficient.
In boost mode configuration the LED current can be extended to drive high power LEDs. Please visit our web site
www.infineon.com/lowcostleddriver for detailed application notes.
