Infineon BCR420U / BCR421U LED Drivers

The Infineon BCR420U LED driver provides a low-cost solution for driving 0.25W LEDs with an LED forward current up to 150 mA. Internal breakdown voltage is 40V, which is the maximum voltage that the Infineon BCR420U LED driver IC can sustain. With no need for additional external components like inductors, capacitors, and free wheeling diodes, the Infineon BCR420U LED drivers are a cost-efficient and PCB-area saving solution.
