BROADCHIP BCT3258
The BCT3258 is a high performance constant current white LED driver. The BCT3258 uses an internal resistor to set the bias current for 8 LEDs, which are matched to 3%. The BCT3258'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.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The BCT3258 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
