4 Precision 400mA Current Sources for RGB and Single Color Leds
1 General Description
The AS3691 features four high precision current
sources for driving up to four LED strings (RGB or
single color leds). Each of the four currents sources
can be controlled independently by PWM inputs.
The full scale current value is set by external
resistors.
2 Key Features
Very wide output voltage current source voltage
compliance
− Down to 0.41V
2)
− Up to 15V
Integrated overtemperature protection
Separate sense pads (Rfb1-Rfb4) for easy and
precise PCB Layout
Package
− DIE
− QFN24 4x4mm
4 x 400mA constant current outputs
Programmable with external resistors
4 independent PWM inputs
Absolute current accuracy +/-0.5%
’
Automatic Supply Regulation’ to reduce power
1)
dissipation
15V is sufficient for most applications as the
AS3691 dose not switch off the LED current
completely
