BCR420UW6-7 BCR420U Series Linear LED Driver
40V Input x 350mA Adjustable Current — Constant Current Regulator for Low-Cost LED Lighting
BCR420UW6-7 Product Overview
The BCR420UW6-7 is a constant current linear LED driver from Diodes Incorporated's BCR420U Series, designed for driving low- to medium-power LEDs with stable current regulation and a compact footprint. The W6-7 variant features a 6-pin SOT-26 (SC-74) surface-mount package and integrates transistors, diodes, and resistors monolithically to minimize external component count .
Rated for an input voltage range of 1.4 V to 40 V, it delivers a default output current of 10 mA with regulation accuracy of ±10%, adjustable up to 350 mA using an external resistor . The device outputs linear constant current with PWM dimming capability and includes an internal switch. Maximum power dissipation is 1.19 W. Mass is negligible and operating junction temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C. The driver features a negative temperature coefficient that reduces output current with rising temperature to protect LEDs from thermal runaway and extend lifespan .

BCR420UW6-7 Key Advantages
The BCR420UW6-7 employs linear constant current topology with monolithic integration of active and passive components, delivering stable current regulation while minimizing PCB area and bill of materials . The 1.4 V minimum input voltage allows more LEDs in series for improved luminous efficiency, while the 40 V maximum input provides sufficient headroom for voltage spikes and LED short-fault conditions . The adjustable 10 mA to 350 mA current range enables platform designs across multiple LED strip applications using a single device, easing qualification and supply chain management . The SOT-26 package accommodates space-constrained designs, and the AEC-Q101 qualification ensures suitability for automotive applications . The negative temperature coefficient enhances LED reliability by reducing current at elevated temperatures, extending LED lifespan and enabling parallel operation for currents exceeding 100 mA .
BCR420UW6-7 Typical Applications
12 V and 24 V linear LED strips and panels for architectural and decorative lighting
Advertising signage and channel letters requiring reliable current regulation
Emergency lighting strips and exit way signs
Refrigeration and vending machine interior lighting
Automotive interior lighting (dome, map, footwell)
General illumination and building light strips
Why Choose the BCR420UW6-7?
The BCR420UW6-7 combines wide 1.4 V to 40 V input range, adjustable 10 mA to 350 mA output, and monolithic integration in a compact SOT-26 package with AEC-Q101 qualification. Manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, it delivers stable, efficient, and reliable LED driving for lighting, signage, and automotive applications. The negative temperature coefficient and PWM dimming capability offer the distinct advantage of protecting LEDs from thermal damage while enabling precise brightness control, making it ideal for both commercial and automotive lighting designs .
