The driver utilizes a MOSFET (Q1) and the BCR602 chip to provide constant current control, and it can also be equipped with a Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT).
The BCR602 chip regulates the LED current using the power Q1 transistor, allowing for precise control over the current level. The LED current is fully scalable by adjusting the external Current Sense (CS) resistor (R6), providing flexibility in design. Additionally, the BCR602 chip suppresses voltage ripple from the power supply, ensuring a constant LED current that results in better light quality.
The LED current can be dimmed using a resistor (Rset R7) or by applying an analog PWM signal to the Multi-Function Input Output (MFIO) pin. The embedded hot plug protection feature enables safe plug-in and plug-out of any LED load during operation, without compromising the driver’s performance.
The LED current level is configured to 200mA and has been thoroughly tested. The shunt resistors define the maximum LED current, which can be adjusted down to an effective resistor R6. The voltage drop at the VSENSE pin, caused by the shunt resistors, is 400mV, or less in case of dimming, resulting in improved overall system efficiency and providing extra voltage headroom to compensate for tolerances in LED forward voltage or supply voltage.
Furthermore, the driver features a smart Over-Temperature Protection (OTP) function, which reduces the LED current when the junction temperature of the BCR602 chip exceeds a certain threshold, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
