MCHPCL7SG-G
Overview
The CL7SG-G is a high-voltage, constant-current linear LED driver designed to provide a stable 100mA output with +/-5% accuracy. It operates over a wide supply range of 6.5V to 90V, offering significant transient immunity for demanding power environments. The device includes an enable pin for PWM dimming and integrated protection features like overtemperature and reverse polarity protection.
Why Choose This Part
The CL7SG-G eliminates the need for complex switching regulators in low-current applications while maintaining high precision. Its 90V rating provides a robust safety margin against supply spikes, and the SOIC-8 package with an exposed pad ensures efficient thermal management for its 100mA linear load.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To use the CL7SG-G, ensure the exposed pad is soldered to a sufficient copper ground plane to dissipate heat, especially when the voltage drop across the device is high. Connect the EN pin to a logic-level PWM signal for dimming control or tie it to VDD for a constant-on state. No external current-sense resistors are required as the 100mA limit is internally fixed.
