The Hichips HI2601 with SOP-8 LED Drivers ROHS is a full-surface mounted, step-down LED driver IC that offers both constant voltage and constant current solutions for driving LEDs. It has an input voltage range of 3.5V to 20V and can handle a maximum output current of 1A. The IC includes a dedicated Power Save Mode that reduces its power consumption when the output current is lower than a required amount, and has a built-in safety and protection circuit for the LEDs, allowing for higher stability and reliability. The IC also has integrated temperature control and over current protection functions as well as short-circuit protection to prevent damage to the system. The HI2601 is RoHS compliant and is designed and tested to be compatible with a wide variety of LED products.
