Description
The STCS1 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 (3x3 mm)
PowerSO-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 open-drain pin output provides information on
load disconnection condition.
