NSI45025T1G

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The NSI45025T1G is a linear constant current regulator from onsemi, utilizing self-biased transistor technology to regulate LED current. It operates as a two-terminal device with a maximum anode-cathacode voltage of 45 V and a reverse voltage rating of 500 mV. The typical regulated steady-state current is 25 mA at 7.5 V, with a pulse current capability up to 34.5 mA. It features a low turn-on threshold of 0.5 V to reach 25% regulation. The device supports high-side or low-side configurations in an SOD-123 package, with a power dissipation rating of 208 mW and an operating temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T1G' corresponds to the standard SOD-123 surface-mount package configuration. Confirm that the required regulatory compliance aligns with RoHS standards and lead-free requirements. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the specified maximum junction temperature of 150°C. Validate that the circuit design accommodates the 45 V maximum anode-cathode voltage rating to prevent device failure during surge events.
