The LM3404 and LM3404HV devices are monolithic switching regulators designed to deliver constant currents to high power LEDs. Ideal for automotive, industrial, and general lighting applications, these devices contain a high-side N-channel MOSFET switch with a current limit of 1.5-A (typical) for step-down (Buck) regulators. Hysteretic controlled on-time and an external resistor allow the converter output voltage to adjust as needed to deliver a constant current to series and series-parallel connected LED arrays of varying number and type. Some features are: LED dimming using pulse width modulation (PWM), broken or open LED protection, low-power shutdown, and thermal shutdown.
