MEL7136AP5G

General Description

The MEL7136A is a constant current regulator for driving LEDs with low quiescent current and low dropout voltage.

 The current is adjustable from 10mA to1A with an external resistor. The MEL7136B is only a controller, and must 

be connected to an external NMOS. MEL7136B is an external transistor, is suitable for applications requiring a high

 output current. The output current of ME7136B can be adjusted by external DC control voltage or PWM control. 

Only one external resistor is required to achieve a constant current LED driver. Soft start, thermal protection and

 low voltage protection are also provided. The driver pin EXT is provided for current and voltage extension. Adding 

an external NMOS or NPN transistor to this pin can extend current and voltage range.
