DLD101
The DLD101 has been designed primarily for solid state lighting
applications, to be used as a current sink circuit solution for LEDs. It
features a N-channel MOSFET capable of 1A drive current and a prebiased NPN transistor (which allows direct connection to the base, or
via a series base resistor).
Figure 12 shows a typical application circuit diagram for driving an
LED or string of LEDs. Note that the pre-biased transistor (Q2) has
the option of bypassing the series base resistor by connecting directly
to pin 7. The N-MOSFET (Q1) is configured as a V
current sink and is biased on by R
. The current passed through the
C
LED string, MOSFET and source resistor, develops a voltage across
R
that provides a bias to the NPN transistor. Consideration of the
S
expected linear mode power dissipation must be factored into the
design, with respect to the DLD101's thermal resistance.

PWM dimming functionality can be effected by either driving the NPN
base via an additional resistor (thereby overriding the feedback from
RS) or by pulling the gate of the MOSFET down by direct connection.
The PWM control pulse stream can be provided by a micro-controller
or simple 555 based circuitry.
