FAQs

What is BCR189?

The BCR189 is a constant current linear LED driver IC designed by Infineon Technologies. It is specifically tailored for driving single or multiple LEDs with a constant current, making it suitable for various lighting applications including automotive, industrial, and architectural lighting.

How Does BCR189 Work?

The BCR189 works by regulating the current flowing through the connected LED(s) to maintain a constant, stable output. It utilizes a linear regulation method to achieve this, ensuring consistent brightness and color rendering of the LEDs. The driver features a wide input voltage range and can be easily dimmed using pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals for adjustable brightness control.

How Many Pins does BCR189 have and What are the Functions of the Pinout Configuration?

The BCR189 is housed in a small SOT-23 package with 3 pins, including:

VCC: Input voltage supply pin.
GND: Ground pin.
ISET: Current setting pin for adjusting the LED's output current.

What are the Pros and Cons of BCR189?

Pros:

Constant Current Output: Ensures consistent brightness and performance of the LED(s).
Wide Input Voltage Range: Can accommodate a wide range of input voltages for versatile applications.
Simple Dimming Control: Can be easily dimmed using PWM signals for adjustable brightness levels.
Small Form Factor: The SOT-23 package is compact and suitable for space-constrained designs.

Cons:

Power Dissipation: As a linear LED driver, it may dissipate more power compared to switching LED drivers.
Heat Generation: May require additional thermal management for high power LED applications.

Are There Any Equivalents/Alternatives to BCR189 for Recommendation?

The AL5809 from Diodes Incorporated is an equivalent LED driver IC with similar features.
Alternatives to the BCR189 include the AS3668 from ams and the CAT4101 from ON Semiconductor.
