machines Emergency lighting (e.g. steps lighting, exit way signs etc.) 1.3 General Description The BCR 420U E6327 / BCR 421U E6327 provides a low-cost solution for driving 0.25 W LEDs with a typical LED current of 75 mA to 150 mA. Internal breakdown voltage is higher than 40 V which is the maximum voltage the LED driver can sustain when the output is directly connected to supply voltage. The BCR 420U E6327 / BCR 421U E6327 can be operated with a supply voltage of more than 40 V considering the voltage drop of the LED load which reduces the output voltage to the maximum rating of the driver. The enable pin of BCR 420U E6327 can withstand a maximum voltage of 40 V which can be increased adding a series resistor in front of the enable pin reducing the voltage at the enable pin below 40 V. The digital input pin of BCR 421U E6327 allows dimming via a micro controller with frequencies up to 10 kHz. A reduction of the output current at higher temperatures is the result of the negative temperature coefficient of 0.2 %/K of the LED driver. With no need for additional external components like inductors, capacitors and free wheeling diodes, the BCR 420U E6327 / BCR 421U E6327 LED drivers are a cost-efficient and PCB-area saving solution for driving 0.25 W LEDs.

Figure 4-2 Application Circuit: Enabling by Connecting to VS Application hints BCR 420U E6327 / BCR 421U E6327 serve as an easy to use constant current sources for LEDs. In stand alone application an external resistor can be connected to adjust the current from 10 mA to 250 mA. Rext can be determined by using Figure 3-5 or Figure 3-15. Connecting a low tolerance resistor Rext will improve the overall accuracy of the current sense resistance formed by the parallel connection of Rint and Rext leading to an improved current accuracy. Please take into account that the resulting output currents will be slightly lower due to the self heating of the component and the negative thermal coefficient.
