The new LED drivers feature an accurate, stabilised output current of 10mA without an external resistor; if an external resistor is used then the output current is adjustable up to 250mA. Voltage overhead is low at 1.4V. For extra ruggedness, the junction temperature of the drivers is 150°C.
Joachim Stange, Product Manager Bipolar Transistors at Nexperia: “Our growing portfolio of LED drivers addresses the rapidly-expanding market for LEDs in automotive, white goods and consumer applications. Capable of being paralleled, the new NCR32x and NCR42x series are ideally suited to constant current source and automotive applications including interior and exterior lighting such as door handles, dashboards, number plates, indicators and rear lights.”
These new LED drivers are serving Nexperia’s primary market automotive and will increase its already extensive portfolio of AEC-Q101 qualified parts.
