General Description
The CL7 is a linear fixed current regulator designed for
driving high brightness LEDs at 100mA from nominal 12V,
24V, and 48V power supplies. With a maximum rating of
90V, it is able to withstand transients without the need for
additional transient protection circuitry. The CL7 is offered
in the Power SO-8 package.
100mA ±5% constant current drive
Built-in reverse polarity protection

This device is not rated for automotive applications!
An active low enable input (EN) allows logic level control
of the LED for on/off control or PWM dimming. The enable
input has 100kΩ pull-down resistance. For applications not
needing an enable input, refer to the CL6 data sheet.
Overtemperature protection shuts off the LED current
when the die temperature rises above 135°C (nominal).
Full LED current resumes when the die temperature falls
below 105°C (nominal).

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the
device may occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied.
Continuous operation of the device at the absolute rating level may affect
device reliability. All voltages are referenced to device ground.
Underside plate is GND
