Product Name
Package
BCR431U
PG-SOT23-6
Description
BCR431U is a linear LED driver IC in a small PG-SOT23-6 package regulating the LED current in standalone
operation without any external power transistor. The IC supply voltage range is from 6 V up to 42 V. The LED
current level can be adjusted up to 36.5 mA connecting a high ohmic resistor Rset to pin RS. The maximum
voltage drop at the integrated LED driver stage is 200 mV at 32.8 mA improving the overall system efficiency and
providing extra voltage headroom to compensate for tolerances of LED forward voltage or supply voltage. The
smart over temperature protection function reduces the LED current when junction temperature of BCR431U is
very high.

Functional description
LED current configuration
The LED current is configured by the external resistor Rset at pin RS. The current flowing into pin LED is
proportional to the current flowing out of pin RS by a ratio of about 760:1. Therefore, the LED current depends
on the value of Rset.

BCR431U Low Voltage Drop LED Driver IC
Functional description
Smart over temperature protection function
BCR431U reduces the LED current with increasing junction temperature by reducing the voltage at pin RS. The
reduced voltage of pin RS drives less current through the external resistor Rset, causing the current into pin LED
to reduce. The LED current is never turned off fully.

Attention: Stresses above the max. values listed here may cause permanent damage to the device.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Maximum ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may cause irreversible
damage to the integrated circuit. These values are not tested, only production test.
