General Description
The Supertex CL2 is a high voltage, temperature compensated,
constant current source. The device is trimmed to provide
a constant current of 20mA±10% 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.

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.
