MEL7136A/MEL7136B
Linear Adjustable Constant Current LED Driver MEL7136A/MEL7136B
General Description
The MEL7136A is a constant current regulator
for driving LEDs with low quiescent current and low
dropout voltage. The current is adjustable from
10mA to1A with an external resistor.
The MEL7136B is only a controller , and must be
connected to an external NMOS. MEL7136B is an
external transistor, is suitable for applications
requiring a high output current . The output current
of ME7136B can be adjusted by external DC
control voltage or PWM control.
Only one external resistor is required to achieve
a constant current LED driver. Soft start , thermal
protection and low voltage protection are also
provided.
The driver pin EXT is provided for current and
voltage extension. Adding an external NMOS or
NPN transistor to this pin can extend current and
voltage range.
