Basic Operation
The CAT4101 has one highly accurate LED current sink
to regulate LED current in a string of LEDs. The LED
current is mirrored from the current flowing from the RSET
pin. Table 6 lists various RSET resistor values for LED
current in 100 mA increments.
The LED channel needs a minimum of 500 mV headroom
to sink constant regulated current. If the input supply falls
below 2 V, the under−voltage lockout circuit disables the
LED channel.
For applications requiring current higher than 1 A, several
CAT4101 devices can be connected in parallel.
The LED channel can withstand and operate at voltages
up to 25 V. This makes the device ideal for driving long
strings of high power LEDs from a high voltage source.
