XP Power’s latest PCB mount DC input constant current LED drivers are four models offering power outputs of 5, 7, 14 and 20W.
Typical efficiencies are 93% for the 5 – 14W models and 95% for the 20W devices.
The LDU20 series provides up to 700 mA output current, and the LDU05, 07 and 14 series has a maximum output of 1000 mA.
The drivers can accommodate a very wide range of input voltage from 7-30Vdc, which needs to be at least 2 V higher than the output.
Dimming options include two analogue methods (voltage or resistance) and a pulse width modulation (PWM) input signal.
The PWM approach has a maximum operating frequency of 1kHz, with a minimum 200ns on/off time. When using an analogue dimming method the output current range can be adjusted from 25% to 100% of nominal current.
A remote on/off control input provides the designer the ability to control the output or sequence the start-up. All models provide protection in the event of a short or open circuit of the LED device.
