BCT3220
4 Channel LED Driver (Common-Anode & Common-Cathode)
Low Dropout Current Source & Current Sink
General Description
The BCT3220 is a high performance white
LED driver. The BCT3220 uses an internal
resistor to set the bias current for four LEDs,
which are matched to +/-1.5%. The BCT3220's
advantages over ballast resistors include much
lower bias variation with supply voltage
variation, significantly lower dropout voltage,
and in some applications, significantly
improved efficiency. The BCT3220 requires
only a 50mV dropout voltage at a 20mA load on
each output to match the LED brightness.
By using one SEL pin, the BCT3220 can
support to drive 4 parallel Co-Anode or Co-
Cathode white LEDs and regulates a constant
current for uniform intensity.
Users can easily configure the LED current
from 2.5mA to 20mA by a serial pulse. The
dimming of white LEDs current can be
achieved by applying a pulse signal to the EN
pin. There are totally 8 steps of current could be
set by users. Internal soft start circuitry
effectively reduces the in-rush current while
both start-up and mode transition.

Functional Block Diagram
Functional Description
The BCT3220 is a four-channel current sink and current source driver, offering ultra-high efficiency for
driving parallel LEDs.
When pin SEL is low, The BCT3220 enters current sink mode and can support to
drive 4 parallel Co-Anode LEDs, when pin SEL is high, The BCT3220 enters current source mode
and can drive 4 Co-Cathode LEDs. Also users can easily configure the LED current from 2.5mA to
20mA by a serial pulse input pin(EN), so the dimming of white LEDs current can be achieved by
applying a pulse signal to the EN pin. The number of falling edges are detected internally and decoded
as illustrated in Table 1.There are totally 8 steps of current value could be set by users. When the EN
pin is held low for 180us or more, the BCT3220 enters the shutdown mode and draw “zero” current
from VIN.
