CL520
General Description
The
CL520 is a fixed, linear current regulator designed for
driving LEDs at 20mA. With a maximum rating of 90V, it is able
to withstand transients without the need for additional transient
protection circuitry. It is ideally suited for applications employing
single or multiple LEDs.
The minimum dropout voltage of 1.0V accomodates extra
LEDs, permits lower supply voltages, and provides more
efficient operation.
The CL520 is offered in TO-252(D-PAK) and TO-92 packages.
Applications
►
Specialty lighting
►
Low voltage signage

Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which damage to the
device may occur. Functional operation under these conditions is not implied.
Continuous operation of the device at the absolute rating level may affect
device reliability. All voltages are referenced to device ground..
