Overview

The NCR320ZX is a linear constant current LED driver from Nexperia designed to provide a stable output of up to 250mA. Housed in a SOT-223 package, it features a maximum supply voltage of 16V and supports PWM dimming for precise brightness control. This AEC-Q101 qualified component is engineered for applications where robust current regulation and thermal performance are critical.

Why Choose This Part

This driver offers a high operating temperature range up to 150 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for high-density or automotive environments. The integrated internal switch simplifies circuit design by reducing external component count compared to discrete transistor solutions.

Applications

Automotive Interior Lighting
Ideal for ambient lighting, instrument clusters, and door handle illumination due to its AEC-Q101 qualification and constant current stability.
Industrial Indicator LEDs
Provides reliable current regulation for status indicators in industrial panels where supply voltages can fluctuate up to 16V.
Signage and Channel Letters
Utilizes PWM dimming capability to manage brightness levels in decorative or informative LED displays.

Getting Started

When designing with the NCR320ZX, ensure adequate copper area on the SOT-223 tab to manage heat dissipation at higher current levels. Connect a PWM signal to the enable/dimming pin for brightness control and verify that the voltage drop across the LED string plus the driver overhead does not exceed the 16V maximum rating.
