BCT3256

August , 2012, REV2.1 BCT3256 6 Channel Constant Current LED Driver Low Dropout Current Sink General Description The BCT3256 is a high performance constant current white LED driver. The BCT3256 uses an internal resistor to set the bias current for 6 LEDs, which are matched to 3%. The BCT3256's advantages over ballast resistors include much lower bias variation with supply voltage variation, significantly lower dropout voltage, and in some applications, significantly improved efficiency. The BCT3256 requires only a 50mV dropout voltage at a 20mA load on each output to match the LED brightness. Users can easily configure the LED current from 1.25mA to 20mA by a serial pulse interface. The dimming of white LEDs current can be achieved by applying a pulse signal to the EN pin. There are totally 16 steps of current could be set by users. Internal soft start circuitry effectively reduces the in-rush current while both start-up and mode transition. Features ♦ Low 50mV Dropout at 20mA ♦ ...
