STCF07 is a dedicated, size-optimized solution for driving a power LED. The device is a buck-boost converter which guarantees proper LED current control over all possible battery voltage and LED forward voltage conditions. The output current control ensures good current regulation over the forward voltage spread characteristics of high-brightness LEDs. The device includes various functions to protect the chip and the power LEDs. These include soft-start control as well as detection and protection of chip overtemperature and shorted LEDs. An optional external NTC is supported.
