AS3691
4 Precision 400mA Current Sources for
RGB and Single Color LEDs
General Description
The AS3691 (AS3691A and AS3691B) features four high
precision current sinks to drive up to four LED strings. Each of
the current sinks can sustain up to 15V and drive up to 400mA.
Every channel can be controlled independently by PWM inputs.
To ensure best efficiency AS3691 is able to regulate any external
LED power supply (DC-DC converter) to its perfect needs
(patented feedback function).
The full scale current is set by external resistor.
