1W LED driver module

Jan 19, 2008 2 Replies

Dear All,



I'm looking for a source of small and preferably cheap boards that will drive a 1W (i.e. approx 3.3V, 350mA, constant current) white LED from a



3V input (i.e. 1 lithium or 2 alkaline cells). This sort of thing must be in, for example, almost all white LED bikelights.

For example, there's this evaluation board for the Sipex (aka Exar) SP6648 chip:

I'd like something like that, but with just the active components, not the huge logo and big connectors that take up two-thirds of the area. Small size is the important thing (including thinness).



Has anyone seen anything like this? Searching for "LED driver board" mainly finds things with mains-voltage input.



Cheers,



Phil.

Yes, thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.

And they ship worldwide at no extra charge. Great.

(I'd still be interested in other suppliers though. Something thinner would be good; it should be possible to use a lower-profile inductor. Any European suppliers?)

Phil.
