BCR402R

BCR402R LED Driver Features • LED drive current of 20mA • Output current adjustable up to 60mA with external resistor • Supply voltage up to 18V • Easy paralleling of drivers to increase current • Low voltage overhead of 1.2V • High current accuracy at supply voltage variation • No EMI • Reduced output current at higher temperatures - negative thermal coefficient of -0.3% / K • RoHS compliant (pb-free) SOT143R package • Qualified according AEC Q101 Applications • Channel letters for advertising, LED strips for decorative lighting • Aircraft, train, ship illumination • Retrofits for general lighting, white goods like refrigerator lighting • Medical lighting General Description The BCR402R is a cost efficient LED driver to drive low power LED’s. The advantages towards resistor biasing are: • homogenous light output despite varying forward voltages in different LED strings • homogenous light output of LED’s despite voltage drop across long supply lines • homogenous light output independent from supply voltage variations • longer lifetime of the LED’s due to reduced output current at higher temperatures (negative thermal coefficient) The advantages towards discrete solutions are: • lower assembly cost • smaller form factor • better quality due to less soldering points • higher output current accuracy due to pretested LED drivers Dimming is possible by using an external digital transistor at the ground pin. The BCR402R can be operated at higher supply voltages by putting LED’s between the power supply +VS and the power supply pin of the LED driver. You can find further details in the application note AN066. The BCR402R 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 LED’s. 4 1 3 2 1 2009-11-13 BCR402R Pin Configuration 4 3 Typical Application +Vs BCR 402R 3 Rext Vdrop 4 1 2 1 2 Is Iout EHA07188 Type BCR402R Maximum Ratings Parameter Supply voltage Output current Output voltage Marking W6s 1 = GND Pin Configuration 2 = Iout 3 = VS 4 = R ext Package SOT143R Symbol Value 18 60 16 0.5 330 150 -65 ... 150 Unit V mA V mW °C VS Iout Vout VR Ptot Tj Tstg Reverse voltage between all terminals Total power dissipation, TS ≤ 75 °C Junction temperature Storage temperature Thermal Resistance Parameter Junction - soldering point1) Symbol Value 225 Unit K/W RthJS 1For calculation of R thJA please refer to Application Note Thermal Resistance 2 2009-11-13 BCR402R Electrical Characteristics at TA=25°C, unless otherwise specified Parameter Characteristics Collector-emitter breakdown voltage Symbol min.

In stand alone application an external resistor can be connected to adjust the current from 20 mA to 60 mA. Rext can be determined by using the diagram 'Output current versus external resistor', or by refering to diagram 'Output current versus reference voltage'. Look for your desired output current on the y axis and read out the corresponding Vdrop. Calculate Rext: Rext = Vdrop / (Iout -(Vdrop/Rint)) 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.
