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 better quality due to less soldering points higher output current accuracy due to pretested LED drivers Dimming is possible by using an external digital transistor at the ground pin. The BCR401R can be operated at higher supply voltages by putting LEDs between the power supply +VS and the power supply pin of the LED driver. You can find further details in the application note AN066. The BCR401R is a perfect fit for numerous low power LED applications by combining small form factor with low cost. These LED drivers offer several advantages to resistors like significantly higher current control at very low voltage drop ensuring high lifetime of LEDs. 2009-11-13 1BCR401R Pin Configuration Typical Application 4 3 1 2 EHA07188 Type Marking Pin Configuration Package BCR401R W5s 1 = GND 2 = I 3 = V 4 = R SOT143R out S ext Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol Value Unit Supply voltage V 18 V S Output current I 60 mA out 16 V Output voltage V out Reverse voltage between all terminals V 0.5 R P 330 mW Total power dissipation, T = 75 C tot S Junction temperature T 150 C j Storage temperature T -65 ... 150 stg Thermal Resistance Parameter Symbol Value Unit 1) R 225 K/W Junction - soldering point thJS 1 For calculation of R please refer to Application Note Thermal Resistance thJA 2009-11-13 2
