NSI50350ADT4G
Constant Current Regulator
& LED Driver
50 V, 350 mA + 10%, 11 W Package
The linear constant current regulator (CCR) is a simple, economical
and robust device designed to provide a cost−effective solution for
regulating current in LEDs. The CCR is based on Self-Biased
Transistor (SBT) technology and regulates current over a wide voltage
range. It is designed with a negative temperature coefficient to protect
LEDs from thermal runaway at extreme voltages and currents.
The CCR turns on immediately and is at 20% of regulation with
only 0.5 V Vak. It requires no external components allowing it to be
designed as a high or low−side regulator. The high anode-cathode
voltage rating withstands surges common in Automotive, Industrial
and Commercial Signage applications. The CCR comes in thermally
robust packages and is qualified to AEC-Q101 standard and UL94−V0
Certified.
Also available in SMC: NSI50350AST3G.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The CCR is a self biased transistor designed to regulate the
current through itself and any devices in series with it. The
device has a slight negative temperature coefficient, as
shown in Figure 2 – Tri Temp. (i.e. if the temperature
increases the current will decrease). This negative
temperature coefficient will protect the LEDS by reducing
the current as temperature rises.
The CCR turns on immediately and is typically at 20% of
regulation with only 0.5 V across it.
The device is capable of handling voltage for short
durations of up to 50 V so long as the die temperature does
not exceed 175°C. The determination will depend on the
thermal pad it is mounted on, the ambient temperature, the
pulse duration, pulse shape and repetition.
Single LED String
The CCR can be placed in series with LEDs as a High Side
or a Low Side Driver. The number of the LEDs can vary
from one to an unlimited number. The designer needs to
calculate the maximum voltage across the CCR by taking the
maximum input voltage less the voltage across the LED
string (Figures 7 and 8).
Figure 8.
Higher Current LED Strings
Two or more fixed current CCRs can be connected in
parallel. The current through them is additive (Figure 9).
Figure 7.
Figure 9.
http://onsemi.com

NSI50350ADT4G
Other Currents
generate audible sound. Dimming is achieved by turning the
LEDs on and off for a portion of a single cycle. This on/off
cycle is called the Duty cycle (D) and is expressed by the
amount of time the LEDs are on (Ton) divided by the total
time of an on/off cycle (Ts) (Figure 12).
The adjustable CCR can be placed in parallel with any
other CCR to obtain a desired current. The adjustable CCR
provides the ability to adjust the current as LED efficiency
increases to obtain the same light output (Figure 10).
Figure 12.
The current through the LEDs is constant during the period
they are turned on resulting in the light being consistent with
no shift in chromaticity (color). The brightness is in proportion
to the percentage of time that the LEDs are turned on.
Figure 13 is a typical response of Luminance vs Duty Cycle.

Figure 13. Luminous Emmitance vs. Duty Cycle
Reducing EMI
Designers creating circuits switching medium to high
currents need to be concerned about Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI). The LEDs and the CCR switch
extremely fast, less than 100 nanoseconds. To help eliminate
EMI, a capacitor can be added to the circuit across R2.
(Figure 11) This will cause the slope on the rising and falling
edge on the current through the circuit to be extended. The
slope of the CCR on/off current can be controlled by the
values of R1 and C1.
The selected delay / slope will impact the frequency that
is selected to operate the dimming circuit. The longer the
delay, the lower the frequency will be. The delay time should
not be less than a 10:1 ratio of the minimum on time. The
frequency is also impacted by the resolution and dimming
steps that are required. With a delay of 1.5 microseconds on
the rise and the fall edges, the minimum on time would be
30 microseconds. If the design called for a resolution of 100
dimming steps, then a total duty cycle time (Ts) of
3 milliseconds or a frequency of 333 Hz will be required.
Figure 11.
The method of pulsing the current through the LEDs is
known as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and has become
the preferred method of changing the light level. LEDs being
a silicon device, turn on and off rapidly in response to the
current through them being turned on and off. The switching
time is in the order of 100 nanoseconds, this equates to a
maximum frequency of 10 MHz, and applications will
typically operate from a 100 Hz to 100 kHz. Below 100 Hz
the human eye will detect a flicker from the light emitted
from the LEDs. Between 500 Hz and 20 kHz the circuit may

Thermal Considerations
P D(MAX) +
As power in the CCR increases, it might become
necessary to provide some thermal relief. The maximum
power dissipation supported by the device is dependent
upon board design and layout. Mounting pad configuration
on the PCB, the board material, and the ambient temperature
affect the rate of junction temperature rise for the part. When
the device has good thermal conductivity through the PCB,
the junction temperature will be relatively low with high
power applications. The maximum dissipation the device
can handle is given by:
T J(MAX) * T A
R qJA
Referring to the thermal table on page 2 the appropriate
RqJA for the circuit board can be selected.
AC Applications
The CCR is a DC device; however, it can be used with full
wave rectified AC as shown in application notes
AND8433/D and AND8492/D and design notes
DN05013/D and DN06065/D. Figure 14 shows the basic
circuit configuration.
