Adjustable Constant Current Regulator & LED Driver
45 V, 35 − 70 mA + 15%, 1.5 W Package
NSI45035JZ, NSV45035JZ
The adjustable constant current regulator (CCR) is a simple, economical and robust device designed to provide a cost effective solution for regulating current in LEDs (similar to Constant Current Diode, CCD). The CCR is based on Self-Biased Transistor (SBT) technology and regulates current over a wide voltage range. It is designed with a negative temperature coefficient to protect LEDs from thermal runaway at extreme voltages and currents.
The CCR turns on immediately and is at 20% of regulation with only 0.5 V Vak. The Radj pin allows Ireg(SS) to be adjusted to higher currents by attaching a resistor between Radj (Pin 3) and the Cathode (Pin 4).
