The NCV7692 is a device which uses an external NPN bipolar device combined with feedback resistor(s) to regulate a current for use in driving LEDs. The target application for this device is automotive rear combination lamps. A single driver gives the user flexibility to add single channels to multichannel systems. A dedicated dimming feature is included via the PWM input pin. The individual driver is turned off when an open load or short circuit is detected.

LED brightness levels are easily programmed using an external resistor in series with the bipolar transistor. The use of the resistor gives the user the flexibility to use the device over a wide range of currents. Multiple strings of LEDs can be operated with a single NCV7692 device. Set back power limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage conditions.

The device is available in a SOIC−8 package.

NCV7692 High-currentDaylight Running LightEvaluation Board

The evaluation board demonstrates high−current daylight running light (DRL) solution. The board regulates constant current of 0.54 A through two on−board white high power LEDs in the wide range of the supply voltage. The current is reduced for the board temperature above 85°C. The cooling is provided through passive heat sink mounted on the bottom side of the board. In case of LEDs short or opening, the current source is disabled and the fault may be detected by the ECU diagnostics.

评估板EVBUM2664主要特性:

• Wide range of supply voltage: 7 to 40 V (thermally limited)
• Two high−brightness on−board white LEDs
• Nominal LED current of 0.54 A
• Over−temperature current fold−back protection
• LED short−circuit and open−load emulation jumpers
• Positions for optional EMC capacitors
• One−side components assembly
• Passive cooling (heat sink)
