General Description
The LM3842 is a step-down constant current LED driver. When the input voltage down to lower than LED forward voltage, then LM3842 run into LDO mode. The LM3842 supports a range of input voltages from 2.5V to 6.0V, allowing the use of a single Li+/Li-polymer cell, 3AA or 4AA cell, USB, and other standard power sources. The FB voltage is only 0.1V to achieve high efficiency.
