New SOT Package for Semitec CRDs - Constant Current Diodes
As a response to a need for a simpler SMD package and higher current ratings, Semitec have now introduced the new S-series CRD range.
The new SOT23 package offers constant current values from 0.1ma upto 18mA.
Semitec CRDs can replace several components in a conventional constant current or current limiting network, thus allowing you to design multiple input voltage circuits and reduce your component count in space-critical applications.
Semitec CRDs offer protection, stability and improved performance when driving LED circuits, waveforms generators and biasing amplifiers. They can also be used as an excellent voltage reference in conjunction with a zener diode.
By using them in series or parallel, both higher voltages and higher current ratings can be achieved.
