Description
The FAN5611/12/13/14 low-dropout product family is
designed to drive two to four parallel LEDs, providing
matched current source bias for all color LEDs. The LED
current is set by an external resistor, R
FAN5611/13 supports four parallel LEDs with up to
160mA bias current (up to 40mA per output). The
FAN5612 supports three LEDs with up to 120mA bias
current (40mA per output). The FAN5614 drives two
high-current LEDs (80mA per output). Pin I1 should
always be connected to an LED to provide a matched
current for any additional LEDs.
The FAN5612/13 and 14 are selected using an ENABLE
pin. When the chip is not selected (ENABLE pin is
LOW), the supply current drops to less than 1µA.
The FAN5611, FAN5612, and FAN5614 are available in
an SC-70 package. The FAN5611 and FAN5613 are
available in MLP packages.
The “Absolute Maximum Ratings” are those values beyond wh ich the safety o f the device cannot be guaranteed. The
device should not be operated at these limits. The parametric values defined in the Electrical Characteristics tables are
not guaranteed at the absolute maximum ratings. The “R ecommended Operating Cond itions” table defines the conditions for actual device operation.
