NSI45090DDT4G

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The NSI45090DDT4G is an adjustable constant current regulator and LED driver manufactured by onsemi. It utilizes self-biased transistor (SBT) technology to provide a cost-effective solution for LED current regulation, functioning similarly to a constant current diode. The device operates with a maximum input voltage of 45 V and delivers an output current of 160 mA with ±15% accuracy. It supports both high-side and low-side sensing configurations. The component is housed in a DPAK (TO-252-3) surface-mount package and is rated for an operating temperature range from -55°C to 175°C.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Self-biased transistor technology eliminates the need for external components, simplifying circuit design for both high-side and low-side applications.
• Negative temperature coefficient reduces current as temperature rises, protecting LEDs from thermal runaway under extreme conditions.
• High anode-cathacode voltage rating withstands voltage surges common in automotive, industrial, and commercial signage environments.

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• Automotive lighting systems
• Industrial LED illumination
• Commercial signage displays

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DD' against the manufacturer's latest documentation to confirm package type and availability status. Cross-reference the part number with official distributors to ensure authenticity and check for any recent product lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement plans.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when a simple, robust, and cost-effective constant current source is required for LED strings. It is suitable for designs needing wide voltage tolerance and inherent thermal protection without complex control circuitry. Ensure the application voltage does not exceed the 45 V limit and that the thermal management strategy accommodates the device's power dissipation characteristics.
