General Description
The BCR 402U E6327 is a cost efficient LED driver to drive low power LEDs. The advantages towards resistor biasing are:
• homogenous light output despite varying forward voltages in different LED strings
• homogenous light output of LEDs despite voltage drop across long supply lines
• homogenous light output independent from supply voltage variations
• longer lifetime of the LEDs due to reduced output current at higher temperatures (negative thermal coefficient)
The advantages towards discrete solutions are:
• lower assembly cost
• smaller form factor
• higher reliability due to less soldering joints
• higher output current accuracy due to pretested LED drivers
FEATUREs
• LED drive current preset to 20 mA
• Output current adjustable up to 65 mA with an external resistor
• Easy paralleling of drivers to increase current
• Supply voltage up to 40 V
• High current accuracy at supply voltage variation
• Low voltage overhead of 1.4 V
• Up to 750 mW power dissipation in a small SC74 package
• Negative thermal coefficient of -0.2 %/K reduces output current at higher temperatures
• RoHS compliant (Pb-free) package
• Automotive 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
• Automotive applications like CHMSL and rear combination lights
