ZLED7x20 Family
High Current 40V LED Driver with Internal Switch
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZLED7x20 continuous-mode inductive stepdown converter family is part of our line of LEDcontrol ICs. It is designed for applications requiring
high brightness and high current. It can efficiently
drive a single LED or multiple series-connected
LEDs from a voltage input higher than the LED forward voltage: Vin = 6 to 40 VDC. It provides an
adjustable output current ≤1.2A, which is set via an
external resistor and controlled by the ZLED7x20’s
integrated high-side output current-sensing circuit
and high speed internal 40V power switch. An
external control signal, which can be a DC voltage,
PWM, or microcontroller-generated waveform, on
the ADJ pin can also be used to linearly adjust a
continuous output current or to control a gated output current.
 High efficiency: up to 98%
 Single pin on/off and brightness control using
DC voltage or PWM
 Very few external components needed for
operation
 Footprint compatible with our ZLED7000
depending on the application.
Available Support
 Evaluation Kit
Physical Characteristics
 Operating junction temperature: -40°C to 125°C
 Switching frequency: up to 1MHz
The output can be turned off by applying a voltage
lower than 0.2V to the ADJ pin, which puts the
ZLED7x20 in a low-current standby state.
ZLED7x20 Family Selection Matrix
The ZLED7x20 enables diverse industrial and
consumer lighting applications requiring high
driving currents, wide operating voltage range,
high efficiency, and variable brightness control. It
offers over-temperature and LED open-circuit protection. The ZLED7x20 can also minimize bill-ofmaterial costs because very few external components are required for most applications. Only a
resistor, a diode, an inductor, and three capacitors
are needed for a typical basic application.
