NUD4001, NSVD4001
High Current LED Driver
This device is designed to replace discrete solutions for driving
LEDs in low voltage AC−DC applications 5.0 V, 12 V or 24 V. An
external resistor allows the circuit designer to set the drive current for
different LED arrays. This discrete integration technology eliminates
individual components by combining them into a single package,
which results in a significant reduction of both system cost and board
space. The device is a small surface mount package (SO–8).

b. R

3. Define V

4. Define V

@ I
LED
per LED supplier’s data
sheet:
a. Per example in Figure 6,
V
LED
= 3.5 V + 3.5 V + 3.5 V = 10.5 V
5. Calculate V

across the NUD4001 device:
a. V

– V
LED
b. V
drop
= 12 V – 0.7 V (T
J

– 10.5 V
c. V
drop
= 0.8 V
6. Calculate Power Dissipation on the NUD4001
device’s driver:
a. P
D_driver
= V
drop
* I
out
b. P
D_driver
= 0.8 V x 0.350 A
c. P
D_driver
= 0.280 Watts
7. Establish Power Dissipation on the NUD4001

D_control
= Figure 4, for 12 V input voltage

D_driver

9. If P
D_total
> 1.13 W (or derated value per
Figure 3), then select the most appropriate
recourse and repeat steps 1 through 8:
a. Reduce V
in
b. Reconfigure LED array to reduce V
drop
c. Reduce I
out
by increasing R
ext
d. Use external resistors or parallel device’s
configuration (see application note AND8156)
