NSM4002MR6
Dual NPN Transistors for
Driving LEDs
NSM4002MR6 contains a single two NPN transistors. The base of
the Q2 NPN transistor is internally connected to the collector of the Q1
NPN transistor. This device is designed to replace a discrete solution
that is common for providing a constant current by integrating these
two components into a single device. NSM4002MR6 is housed in a
SC−74 package which is ideal for surface mount applications in space
constrained applications.

NSM4002MR6
Application Section
Introduction
The NSM4002MR6 is designed to be used as a constant
current driver for LEDs. The two resistors in Figure 1 are
external from the NSM4002MR6 to allow for
customization. R
set
controls the current through the load,
and R
1
controls the bias current.
based on the biasing current. To determine the R
set
value
simply divide the V
BE
voltage by the desired driving
current.
Selecting R
1
The R
1
resistor is used to set the biasing current. The
biasing current is split between the base of Q2 and the
collector of Q1. When desiring the lowest overhead voltage
R
1
should be set as high as possible. It is important to ensure
it is not set too high so that Q2 falls out of saturation.
However, a lower R
1
value will drive more current through
Q1. This will reduce the change in the driving current as
temperature is increased. It will also allow a higher driving
current to be achieved while maintaining good current
regulation. The side affect of a lower R
1
value is that it
reduces the overall efficiency because more power is being
used in the driving circuit.
Input Votlage, V
s
The maximum input voltage, V
s
, is determined by the
load. No more than 45 V can be applied across Q2. This leads
to:

Selecting R
set
Overhead Voltage
(eq. 1)
The R
set
resistor is used to set the driving current of the
load. It is connected across the Base−Emitter junction of Q1.
This V
BE
voltage is what sets up the constant voltage across
the R
set
resistor. Figure 5 gives the typical values of V
BE
The overhead voltage of this device to reach full current
regulation is the combination of the V
BE
voltages of the two
transistors. Under typical conditions this overhead voltage
will typically be 1.4 V.
