CL2 Simple 90V, 20mA, Temperature Compensated Constant Current LED Driver IC

Features
5.0 to 90V operating range (VA-B) 20mA 10% at 5.0 - 90V 0.01%/C typical temperature coefcient Available in TO-243AA (SOT-89), TO-252 (D-PAK), & TO-92 packages Can be paralleled for higher current

General Description
The Supertex CL2 is a high voltage, temperature compensated, constant current source. The device is trimmed to provide a constant current of 20mA10% at an input voltage of 5.0 - 90V. The device can be used as a two terminal constant current source or constant current sink. A typical application for the CL2 is to drive LEDs with a constant current of 20mA. Multiple CL2s can also be used in parallel to provide higher currents such as 40mA, 60mA or 80mA. The device is available in TO-243AA (SOT-89), TO-252 (D-PAK), and TO-92 packages.

Applications
LED driver Industrial lamp indicators Signage Accent lighting Automotive Constant current source Constant current sink
