ZXSC400 1W LED driver
Neil Wolstenholme, Applications Engineer, Zetex Semiconductors plc
Description
ZXSC400 is configured to the reference design below. The target application is a 1W white LED
driven from a two cell NiCd/NiMH or alkaline battery input for flashlights and high powered LED
driving.
The supply voltage for ZXSC400 reference design is: VIN = 1.8V ~ 3V.

Performance
Increasing efficiency
On ZXSC400 reference design, R1 is set to 22mΩ to ensure that the LED current is regulated over
the full input voltage range of 3V ~ 1.8V. For improved efficiency R1 can be changed to a 33mΩ
resistor but LED current will not be regulated below 2V. See Figure 2, Performance graphs.
