DESCRIPTION

· Current Regulating Diodes (CRDs) maintain constant current flow despite voltage fluctuations.
· CRDs provide constant current over a wide voltage range, from less than 1V to 100V.
· SEMITEC CRDs simplify constant current circuits by requiring only one component.

FEATURES

· Wide voltage range: Less than 1V to 100V.
· Constant current regardless of voltage fluctuations, load resistance changes, and ripple voltage.
· Available in both leaded (E series) and SMD (S series) types.
· Rated power: 300 mW (E series) and 500 mW (S series).
· Operating temperature range: -30°C to 150°C (E series) and -40°C to 150°C (S series).

APPLICATIONS

· Constant current source for LED brightness stabilization.
· LED street lights, LED fluorescent lamps, LED light bulbs, and LED downlights.
· Constant voltage circuit for supplying current to Zener diodes.
· Proximity sensors and other sensors.
· Battery charge/discharge circuits.
· Electrolytic capacitor aging equipment.
· Constant current test equipment for semiconductor devices.
· Telecommunications line interface.
· Earth leakage circuit breakers.
· Piezoelectric actuators.
· Stabilized power supply circuits.
