Diodes' BCR401U, BCR402U, and BCR405U constant current regulators provide a simple means of driving low current LED strips and panels in commercial and industrial lighting sectors, particularly suiting those applications that benefit from the improved efficiency, flexibility and longer life offered by LEDs as an emerging lighting source.

Targeted at 12 V and 24 V linear LED strips, these regulators increase light output efficiency as they only require 1.4 V supply allowing more LEDs in the string. Supporting adjustable currents from 10 mA to 100 mA allow for platform designs based on a single device to be used across multiple LED strip applications, considerably easing a manufacturer’s qualification and supply chain.

These LED drivers also enhance system reliability as the monolithic integration of a transistor, diodes, and resistors both simplify system design and reduce component count. These LED drivers are targeted at 12 V and 24 V linear LED strips and panels.
