Functional Description
The TLE 4240-2/3 M is a monolithic integrated low dropout linear constant current
source. It is designed to supply white or color LEDs in order to achive constant
brightness and extended LED lifetime independent from supply voltage or LED forward
voltage class.
Protection circuits prevent from damage to the device in case of overload, short circuit,
reverse polarity and overheat. The LEDs connected are protected against reverse
polarity transients as well as against voltages up to 45 V. The Safe Operation Area
(SOA) monitoring function limits the output current in case of a very high drop voltage
across the regulator. For details see graph “Output Current versus Drop Voltage”.
Version TLE 4240-3 M is equipped with a status output indicating an open load failure
condition.
The TLE 4240-2/3 M is supplied in a space-saving PG-SCT595-5 package offering
minimal thermal resistance.

Note: Stresses above the ones listed here may cause permanent damage to the device.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Integrated protection functions are designed to prevent IC destruction under fault
conditions described in the data sheet. Fault conditions are considered as
“outside” normal operating range. Protection functions are not designed for
continuous repetitive operation.
