FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Preliminary
LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
The UTC
L3012
is a current mode and fixed frequency (280kHz) LED driver.
1. Output current setting
The output current is determined by the sampling resistor (R

2. Current limiting
UTC
L3012
has internal current limiting function, and the voltage on COMP is clamped at about 2V, the output
current of the power MOSFET is limited at about 2A by current comparator.
3. Diode Selection
UTC

driver LED need a Schottky diode. If output current is 700mA or smaller then SS14 (D1N5819) is ok.
The average current through the diode is I
