CAT4002B, CAT4003B,
CAT4004B
Constant Current
Programmable LED Driver
with 32 Dimming Levels
Description
http://onsemi.com
The CAT4002B, CAT4003B and CAT4004B provide respectively
two, three and four matched low dropout current sources to drive
LEDs. The CAT400XB requires no external RSET resistor. The LED
current is internally set to 25 mA when the device is first enabled.
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 input supports the 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 (75 mV at 20 mA) current sinks.
Package options are available in the 4−channel tiny 8−pad UDFN
2 mm x 2 mm with a max height of 0.55 mm, and 2 or 3− channel in
the 6−lead TSOT−23 and SC−70.

Figure 1. CAT400XB EN/DIM Dimming Timing Diagram
LED Current Setting
On the CAT400XB, the full scale LED current is
internally set to 25 mA (no external resistor).
When the EN/DIM is first enabled, the CAT400XB sets
the LED channel current to the full scale current. Each
consecutive rising edge on the EN/DIM decreases the LED
current by one step until it goes to zero, as shown on
Figure 1.
