Product matrix

Discrete current-regulating diodes, bare constant-current chips and fully assembled driver-free ceramic light sources - one linear technology, three levels of integration.

Current-Regulating Diode (CRD)

A diode that regulates current, in a SOD-123 footprint.

Our CRD current-regulating diodes are new SMT components developed and designed for LED drivers, packaged in the surface-mount SOD-123 form factor.

They start operating at voltages below 3 V and maintain stable current across a wide voltage fluctuation range, featuring a negative temperature coefficient. Adopting linear constant-current driving technology, they generate no EMI electromagnetic interference, and boast simple circuit design and high cost performance.

Multiple diodes can be connected in parallel to build high-power LED light sources.

  • Starts below 3 V and holds current across wide voltage fluctuation
  • Negative temperature coefficient for inherent thermal balance
  • No EMI, simple circuit design and high cost performance
  • Parallel connection builds higher-power light sources

Model specifications

Six current grades, one package family.

Model codes denote nominal constant current. Each grade holds its current band across the full voltage window and is rated for a -55 °C to 150 °C junction and storage range.
