Energy-efficient LED drivers

Diodes Incorporated has further expanded its Zetex ZXLD LED driver series with the introduction of three new miniature LED drivers offering improved accuracy and thermal performance. Provided in TSOT23-5 and thermally-enhanced DFN6 packages, the highly integrated ZXLD1352, ZXLD1356 and ZXLD1366 deliver adjustable output currents of 350 mA, 550 mA and 1 A respectively, and are designed for a broad range of automotive, architectural and industrial lighting applications.

With a typical output current accuracy better than 1%, the 1356 and 1366 drivers provide highly accurate current matching at working voltages up to 60 V. Capable of producing output powers of 30 W and 48 W respectively, these devices support up to 15 LEDs in an array of applications that require small footprint and high efficiency.

Operating from a 7 V to 30 V supply and capable of producing an output current up to 350 mA, the 2,8 x 2,9 mm TSOT23-5 packaged 1352 can provide up to 8 W of power for driving chains up to 10 LEDs. With a large PWM dimming ratio of 1000:1, it offers highly flexible brightness control and accurate colour mixing.

The ZXLD series of continuous-mode inductive step-down LED drivers are characterised by their simplicity of configuration and only require three simple external discrete components. Nominal output current, set by a resistor, is easily adjusted by applying a PWM or DC voltage control signal to match brightness requirements, and a low-level control signal turns the output off to put the LED driver into standby.
