DESCRIPTION

48V Buck Mode

LED Driver in SC70

and 2mm x 2mm DFN

specifically designed to drive up to 10 LEDs in series from

a 48V DC source. Series connection of the LEDs provides

identical LED currents of up to 50mA, resulting in uniform

brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors.

A fixed frequency, current mode architecture results in

stable operation over a wide range of input voltage and

output voltage.

The high switching frequency of 850kHz permits the use

of tiny, low profile inductors and capacitors. A single pin

performs both shutdown and accurate LED dimming

control. The power switch, Schottky diode and control

circuitry are all contained inside a space saving SC70

package or 2mm × 2mm DFN package to allow a small

converter footprint and lower parts cost.
