CL325

General Description

The CL325 is designed to drive 3 strings of LEDs at a

constant current of 25mA.

Other drivers with currents in the range of 20 - 30mA are

available. The drive current is fixed, with a ±6% tolerance

over a V

Separate enable pins for each channel allow for PWM

dimming, 3-step linear dimming, or individual disconnection

of faulty LED strings.

Over-temperature protection circuitry shuts down all 3

channels when the nominal die temperature reaches 135°C.

Normal operation resumes when the die temperature drops

by 30°C.

The CL325 is available in the 8-Lead SOIC (w/Heat Slug)

package and requires a single ceramic bypass capacitor

which may be shared among several drivers.
