With a VRM voltage range from 5 to 33 V, it can fit most applications. The low leakage current (0.2 uA and 1 uA max respectively at 25 and 85 oC) makes it suitable for portable equipment where power consumption is a key issue. Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:39:10 +0100 http://www.st.com/stonline/products/families/lighting/lighting_ics/related_info/lightdes.htm?wt.mc_id=lightingtool A new design tool specifically for lighting applications is now available on st.com/lighting. This PC based tool creates designs for electronic ballasts driving fluorescent tubes and CFLs and subsequently selects the products required for it.

This device is a 1.5 A Iout constant-current regulator operating with an input voltage range from 4.5 V to 40 V specifically designed to supply high-brightness LEDs. The device is ideal for applications requiring high-voltage input and is able to withstand voltage spikes of up to 45 V.

These complex ICs can be safeguarded with the STM6904 / STM6905 ultra-low current multiple voltage monitors. They can monitor four and five voltage rails with a tight accuracy of +/- 1% and a low current consumption of only 12 uA.
