Description
BCR430U is a linear LED controller IC in a small PG-SOT23-6-1 package regulating the LED current in standalone
operation without any external power transistor. The IC supply voltage range is from 6 V up to 42 V. The LED
current level can be adjusted up to 100 mA connecting a high ohmic resistor Rset to pin RS. The voltage drop at
the integrated LED driver stage is less than 200 mV at 50 mA improving the overall system efficiency and
providing extra voltage headroom to compensate for tolerances of LED forward voltage or supply voltage. The
smart over temperature protection function reduces the LED current when junction temperature of BCR430U is
very high.

Functional description
LED current configuration
The LED current is configured by the external resistor Rset at pin RS. The current flowing into pin LED is
proportional to the current flowing out of pin RS by a ratio of about 520:1. Therefore, the LED current depends
on the value of Rset.

Low Drop Voltage LED Driver IC
Functional description
BCR430U
Smart over temperature protection function
BCR430U reduces the LED current with increasing junction temperature by reducing the voltage at pin RS. The
reduced voltage of pin RS drives less current through the external resistor Rset, causing the current into pin LED
to reduce. The LED current is never turned off fully.
