The ZXLD1360EV2, Figure 1, is an evaluation board for evaluating the ZXLD1360 1000mA LED driver with internal switch. The evaluation board can be used to drive a 1 amp LED, or an external choice of LEDs. The number of external connected LEDs depends on the forward voltage of the LEDs connected. A 6 way connector is provided, to allow an external 0.1 inch connecter to be inserted. The LED fitted o…

Figure 1 shows a typical simple low cost solution with a ZXSC310 driving a 1W LED with a typical forward voltage of 3.4V at 300mA from a dual cell battery. A dual cell supply will have a voltage range of 1.8V to 3V for alkaline type batteries.

Low cost, small simple and low power multi-LED drive solutions are important in applications including LCD backlight, key illuminations and effects for handheld devices (e.g. cell phones), signage and indicators. The LED current is generally between 10mA to 30mA and is powered from a single cell Li-Ion or three cell alkaline/NiMH/NiCad batteries. For battery powered applications low shutdown quie…

LED lighting is becoming more popular as a replacement technology for Halogen low voltage lighting, primarily because of the low efficiency, reliability and lifetime issues associated with Halogen bulbs. Discussed in AN44 is a novel approach for driving high power LED's as a replacement for low voltage halogen lighting systems.

The ZXLD1350 is a continuous mode inductive step-down converter, designed for driving single or multiple series connected LEDs efficiently from a voltage source higher than the LED voltage.

* Taken from page 5 of AN48 This driver is a simplified version to the 700mA driver described above. The driver is designed to drive up to 3 Luxeon® K2 LEDs in series which could deliver a total output power of 10W with a maximum input supply voltage of 16V.

The LM3405 demo board is configured to drive a series string of high power, high brightness LEDs at a forward current of 1A using the LM3405 constant current buck regulator. The board can accept a full input operating range of 3V to 15V.

The MCP1631HV Multi-Chemistry Battery Charger is fully assembled and tested for charging one or two series Li-Ion Batteries, one to five series cell NiMH or NiCd batteries, or driving one to two 1 Watt LEDs. The charge termination for Li-Ion is based upon a percentage of fast charge current, the charge termination for NiMH is based on a negative voltage change versus time or positive temperature …

The MIC2287 is a small 1.2 MHz constant frequency PWM white LED driver. The MIC2287 is available in either a thin SOT-23 or a 2 mm x 2 mm MLF™ package. High power densities in a very small size are achieved using its internal 34 V/500 mA switch.

The MAX16820 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates a step-down, constant-current, hysteretic controlled switching regulator for driving high-brightness LEDs (HB LEDs) using the MAX16820 controller IC. This EV kit is configured to supply an average output LED current of 1A, and operates from a 5V to 28V supply.
