DLD101-7

Overview

The DLD101-7 is a single-output linear LED driver IC manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It features an adjustable output current capability of up to 1 A and supports PWM dimming functionality. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 5 V to 50 V and is housed in a compact DFN-8 (3x3 mm) package with an exposed pad for thermal management. It is designed for high-efficiency LED lighting applications requiring precise current control.

Feature Summary

• Integrates linear topology for constant current regulation in LED circuits
• Supports pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming for brightness control
• Features adjustable output current settings via external components
• Utilizes thermally enhanced DFN-8 surface-mount packaging

Applications

• General solid-state lighting fixtures
• LED backlighting systems
• Commercial and industrial LED illumination modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and tape-and-reel quantity against the official datasheet before ordering, as packaging configurations may vary. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as availability fluctuates based on production cycles and regional stock levels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring a single-channel linear LED driver with PWM dimming support. Ensure the input voltage range aligns with the system power supply and that the thermal dissipation requirements are met by the PCB layout, given the 1 A output capability and DFN-8 package constraints.
