STCS2 2 A max constant current LED driver Features Up to 40 V input voltage Less than 0.5 V voltage overhead 10 Up to 2 A output current 1 PWM dimming pin Shutdown pin PowerSO-10 LED disconnection diagnostic Applications LED constant current supplying for varying The current is set with external resistor up to 2 A input voltages with a 10 % precision a dedicated pin allows Low voltage lighting implementing PWM dimming. Small appliances LED lighting An open-drain pin output provides information on Car LED lights load disconnection condition. Description The STCS2 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.
