STMicroelectronics STCS2
The STCS2 is a BiCMOS constant current source designed to provide a precise constant current starting from a varying input voltage source. The main target is to replace discrete components solution for driving LEDs in low voltage applications such as 5 V, 12 V or 24 V giving benefits in terms of precision, integration and reliability.FEATURES
● Up to 40 V input voltage● Less than 0.5 V voltage overhead
● Up to 2 A output current
● PWM dimming pin
● Shutdown pin
● LED disconnection diagnostic
APPLICATIONS
● LED constant current supplying for varying input voltages● Low voltage lighting
● Small appliances LED lighting
● Car LED lights
DESCRIPTION
10 1 PowerSO-10 The current is set with external resistor up to 2 A with a ± 10 % precision; a dedicated pin allows implementing PWM dimming. An open-drain pin output provides information on load disconnection condition. Table 1.
