SP1821 Four Channels Constant Current LED Driver DESCRIPTION The SP1821 is a linear constant current driver designed to drive multiple LEDs in series from a high input voltage rail. The driver acts as a high current matched, four-channel current source ensuring constant LED current for a range of input voltages. The device can drive up to 25mA load current per string with an external resistor. The SP1821 can provide lowest cost for various applications. Internal thermal protection automatically turns off LED current to prevent overheating. The dimming can be achieved by controlling the ISET input or by feeding a PWM signal to the EN pin. The device can be shut down by setting Enable low.

The matching current regulator has a 460:1 ratio between ILED and ISET. SP1821 is capable to supply 25mA for each channel with proper selection of external resistor. The design has a band gap regulator, voltage to current converter and mirror drivers. THERMAL PROTECTION SP1821 has a thermal comparator to shut down the device when the internal temperature reaches 150℃. It will remain shut down until the temperature drops to 130℃. ENABLE SP1821 has an enable pin that is designed for TTL input. The device will be active at voltage high. This pin can also be used to control the brightness of LED with a PWM signal. The brightness is proportional to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. When duty cycle is zero, LEDs are turned off. For 50% duty cycle, it will result an average ILED to be half the programmed LED current which is set by RSET. ISET The ISET Pin is a voltage input to set the current of LED. An external resistor is used to set the output current, as approximated with the following equation: RSET = 460 * (1.3V/ILED) However, the RSET shall not be selected to exceed the maximum current delivery capability of the device, 25mA. A PWM signal or analog signal can also be applied at ISET pin to control the LED brightness. 2010/04/10 Ver.2 Page 5 SP1821 Four Channels Constant Current LED Driver SOP- 8 PACKAGE OUTLINE 2010/04/10 Ver.2 Page 6 SP1821 Four Channels Constant Current LED Driver Information provided is alleged to be exact and consistent.
