SimpleChips CL2A
Unipolar Current Regulator
DESCRIPTION
: The CL2A is SimpleChips’ 20 mA temperature-compensated unipolar current regulator. It is designed to be used with voltages from 6V to 250V DC and the temperature coefficient is optimized from –40C to 125C. SimpleChips’ 5-10-15-20mA unipolar current regulator can source or sink constant current. For high voltage applications a heat sink can be connected to the Ground pin (Source) (pin 2), or the device can be mounted on a larger copper plate used as a heat sink. These devices can be paralleled for larger current drives or connected back-to-back for AC current limiting function. These current regulators can be used for applications with AC or DC such as:● serial LED drivers for industrial lamp indicators, signage, accent lighting, and automotive lighting.
● Power limiter in transformer input stage (mounted back to back).
● constant current source or sink.
● current reference or level translator.
● laser diode driver for VCSELs used in Optical Networking. Functional Block Diagram: SimpleChips Technologies Inc.
