GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LD1610 is a continuous mode inductive step-down converter, designed for driving single or multiple series connected High Power LEDs with a minimum number of external components. It operates from an input voltage range of 7V to 40V and provides an externally adjustable output current up to 1.0A depending upon input voltage and external components. The LD1610 has internal switching transistor, regulator and output current sensing circuit, which uses an external resistor to set the nominal average output current. The LED dimming can be controlled via pulse width modulation (PWM) through DIM pin. Additionally, to ensure the system reliability, the LD1610 has internal thermal shutdown circuit.
