NCP3066 Switching Regulator

Can be configured in Step-Down (Buck) and Step-Up (Boost) and Voltage-Inverting topologies

Image of onsemi's NCP3066onsemi's NCP3066 is a monolithic switching regulator designed to deliver constant current for powering high brightness LEDs. The device has a very low feedback voltage of 235 mV (nominal) which is used to regulate the average current of the LED string. In addition, the NCP3066 has a wide input voltage up to 40 V to allow it to operate from 12 VAC or 12-36 VDC supply, commonly used for lighting applications as well as unregulated supplies such as rechargeable batteries. The NCP3066 switching regulator can be configured in step-down (buck) and step-up (boost) and voltage-inverting topologies with a minimum number of external components. An NCV3066 automotive version is available and without the ON/OFF feature as the NCP3065.
