BASIC OPERATION
The CAT4101 has one highly accurate LED current
sink to regulate LED current in a string of LEDs. The
LED current is mirrored from the current flowing from
the RSET pin according to the following formula:
The LED channel needs a minimum of 500 mV
headroom to sink constant regulated current. If the
input supply falls below 2 V, the under-voltage
lockout circuit disables the LED channel.

For applications requiring current higher than 1 A,
several CAT4101 devices can be connected in
parallel.
The LED channel can withstand and operate at
voltages up to 25 V. This makes the device ideal for
driving long strings of high power LEDs from a high
voltage source.
