STLDC08PUR

STLDC08 Step-up controller for LED supply Features Input voltage range from 0.8 V to 3.6 V Overvoltage protection Drives N-channel MOSFET or NPN bipolar transistor No control loop compensation required FET driver for very precise PWM dimming DFN10 (3 x 3 mm) Applications Single/dual cell NiMH, NiCd, or alkaline batteries Small appliances LED lighting Portable lighting Description The STLDC08 LED driver step-up controller is optimized to operate from one or two NiCd/NiMH or alkaline cells. The IC is able to drive an external MOSFET (N-channel) enabling it for use with wide power levels. Hysteretic control eliminates the need for small signal control loop compensation. The IC integrates an FET driver for a precise PWM dimming. STLDC08 comes in a DFN10 (3 x 3 mm) package. Table 1. Device summary Order code Marking Package STLDC08PUR STLDC08 DFN10 (3 x 3 mm.)
