Dec. 2004 Rev. 1. 0
General Description
The EC4006 is a monolithic constant current white light LED driver using PWM control method.
This device consists of internal temperature compensated reference, voltage comparator,
controlled duty cycle oscillator with active current limit circuit, driver and high current output switch.
This device is specifically designed be used in Step-Down and Step-Up applications with a few
external components.
The EC4006 package is SOP-8.
Features
• Operation input voltage from 3.0V to 36V
• Low Standby Current
• Current Limiting
• Output Switch Current to 0.8A
• Constant output current
• Operation Frequency up to 65KHz (CT=330pF)
