CAT4002A, CAT4004A
Constant Current LED
Driver with 32 Dimming
Levels and Rset
Description
The CAT4002A and CAT4004A provide respectively two and four
matched low dropout current sources to drive LEDs. The CAT400XA
uses an external resistor RSET to set the current in the LED channels.
Each LED channel includes an individual control loop allowing the
device to handle a wide range of LED forward voltages while still
maintaining tight current matching.
The EN/DIM logic inputs supports device enable and a digital
dimming interface for setting the LED channel current with 32 linear
dimming levels.
LEDs can be powered directly from a Lithium−ion battery due to the
low dropout (50 mV at 20 mA) current sinks. The device is available
in the tiny 8−pad UDFN 2 mm x 2 mm package with a max height of
0.55 mm, as well as the 6−lead TSOT−23 and SC−70.

On the CAT400XA, the full scale LED current is set by the
external resistor connected between the RSET pin and
ground. Table 5 lists standard resistor values for several
LED current settings.
When the EN/DIM is initially taken high, the CAT400XA
becomes enabled and the LED channel current is set to the
full scale current according to the resistor RSET.
