Rainbow LED driver is a flashy performer
New from Rohm is the first integrated LED driver to combine the ability to drive red, green, blue and white LED outputs with a mode that provides high brightness "flash" LED output
The devices will be particularly suitable for microprocessor-based applications where there is the requirement to drive LED bargraphs.
Rohm's BU2090F, BU2090FS, BU2092FV and BU2099FV are 12bit serial-in/parallel-out drivers that offer high DC output drive voltages of up to 25V.
The BU2098F is an 8bit device with an output voltage rating of 18V that features a two-wire serial interface and has been developed specifically for I2CBUS applications.
All of the new drivers offer N-channel open-drain outputs and will operate with supply voltages down to just 2.7V.
Designed to meet the widest variety of application requirements, the BU209x series of drivers is available in 16- and 18-pin DIP, SOP and SSOP package options.
The 18-pin devices feature additional control functionality including output disable and an external latch control terminal.
