SGM3127
White LED Driver with
Low Dropout Current Source
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SGM3127 low-dropout bias supply for white LEDs
is a high-performance alternative to the simple ballast
resistors used in conventional white LED designs. It is
optimized
for
low
power
keypad
and
portable
backlighting applications.
The SGM3127 uses an internal resistor to set the bias
current for four LEDs, which are matched to ±5%. The
SGM3127'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 SGM3127 requires only a 50mV dropout voltage at
a 30mA load on each output to match the LED
brightness.
The SGM3127 is available in Green SOT-23-6 package.
It operates over an ambient temperature range of -40℃
to +85℃.

CAUTION
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD if you don’t
pay attention to ESD protection. SGMICRO recommends that
all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions.
Failure to observe proper handling and installation
procedures can cause damage. ESD damage can range from
subtle performance degradation to complete device failure.
Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to
damage because very small parametric changes could cause
the device not to meet its published specifications.
SGMICRO reserves the right to make any change in circuit
design, specification or other related things if necessary
without notice at any time. Please contact SGMICRO sales
office to get the last datasheet.
NOTE:
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device
at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.
