Functional Description
The TLE 4240 G is a monolithic i ntegrated low -drop LED Driv er in the very small SMD
package SCT 595. It is designed to supply LEDs under the severe conditions of
automotive applications. Therefore the device is equipped with additional protection
functions against overload, short circuit and reverse polarity and overtemperature.
The output is a constant current source which drives LEDs to 60 mA within an accuracy
of ± 20%.
