NCP707CMX285TCG

NCP707CMX285TCG is a high-performance constant current regulator of the linear type, developed by ON Semiconductor. This efficient device provides a continual current limit of 285 mA at a maximum voltage of 42V. This regulator is ideal for dimming LED strips and driving motors, as well as providing a highly efficient current-controlled power supply for lighting systemsdevices.

The NCP707CMX285TCG operates in a simple two-terminal configuration; one being a reference voltage (Vref), and the other the output voltage (Vout). When connected to the load, the output voltage will be determined by the reference voltage, and the output current will be limited or regulated at 285 mA.

The regulator can be configured to limit current or regulate current output by adjusting either the reference voltage (Vref) or the output voltage (Vout). The regulation voltage is set via an external resistor, which also allows the adjustments of the current limit value.

The NCP707CMX285TCG features an under-voltage lockout (UVLO) that allows the regulator to power up when the device is turned ON, and remains enabled if the output voltages falls below a certain threshold. This feature prevents the output from exceeding the set current limit, which will ultimately prevent damage to the load.

The regulator also includes a fault protection circuit that will shut down the device if the current limit is exceeded, or if the temperature of the device falls outside the safe operating range. The fault condition can be reset either manually, or automatically based on temperature conditions.

In addition to its protection features, the device also includes a series of digital monitoring signals. These signals allow the user to monitor the status of the current and voltage levels, as well as the temperature of the device.

The NCP707CMX285TCG is an effective linear current regulator, providing a constant current output at low power levels. It is well suited for controlling the lighting intensity of LED strips, driving small motors, and other applications in which constant, low loads are needed. Its digital monitoring and protection features make it an ideal device for providing a safe, and efficient, current-controlled power supply.
