Description
The STCS1A is a BiCMOS constant current
source designed to provide a precise constant
current starting from a varying input voltage
source. The main target is to replace discrete
components solution for driving LEDs in low
voltage applications such as 5 V, 12 V or 24 V
giving benefits in terms of precision, integration
and reliability.
DFN8 (3 x 3 mm)
Power SO-8
The current is set with external resistor up to 1.5
A with a ± 10 % precision; a dedicated pin allows
implementing PWM dimming. An external
capacitor allows setting the slope for the current
rise from tens of microseconds to tens of
milliseconds allowing reduction of EMI.
An open-drain pin output provides information on
load disconnection condition.
