Application hints
BCR402U serves as an easy to use constant current source for LEDs. In stand alone application an external
resistor 
R
ext
 can be connected to adjust the current between 20 mA and 65 mA. 
R
ext
 can be determined by using
. Connecting a low tolerance resistor 
R
ext
 will improve the overall accuracy of the current sense
resistance formed by the parallel connection of 
R
int
 and 
R
ext
 leading to an improved current accuracy. Please take
into account that the resulting output currents will be slightly lower due to the self heating of the component and
the negative thermal coefficient.
In boost mode configuration the LED current can be extended to drive high power LEDs. Please visit our web site
 for detailed application notes.
