CL6
100 mA Fixed Constant-Current Linear LED Driver
Features
General Description
•
•
•
•
•
•
The CL6 is a fixed-current linear regulator designed for
driving high-brightness LEDs at 100 mA from nominal
12V, 24V and 48V power supplies. With a maximum
rating of 90V, it is able to withstand transients without
the need for additional transient protection circuitry.
100 mA ±5% Constant-Current Driver
Built-In Reverse Polarity Protection
Dimmable via PWM Supply
Overtemperature Protection
Tab Ground allows Direct Heatsinking to Chassis
90V Maximum Rating for Transient Immunity
Applications

•
Flashlights
Specialty Lighting
Low-Voltage Signage
Low-Voltage Lighting
The CL6 is offered in both TO-252 (D-PAK) and
TO-220 packages. The tab on the TO-220 is ground,
allowing heatsinking directly to a chassis without the
need for electrically insulating spacers.
Overtemperature protection circuitry shuts off the LED
current when the die temperature reaches 135°C
(typical). Full LED current resumes when the die
temperature falls below 105°C (typical).

REVISION HISTORY
Revision A (November 2018)
• Converted Supertex Doc# DSFP-CL6 to Microchip DS20005809A
• Changed the maximum junction temperature from
150°C to 135°C in the Absolute Maximum Ratings
section and added a maximum operating junction
temperature of 119°C to the Temperature Specifications table
• Changed the package marking format
• Made new sections to comply with the standard
Microchip document format.
• Made minor text changes throughout the document

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
Information contained in this publication regarding device
applications and the like is provided only for your convenience
