This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the technical features, application scenarios, and design points of the CXLE88184 to help engineers better understand and apply the product.
1. Product Overview
CXLE88184 is a constant current driver chip specially designed for LED display and lighting system. It integrates 4 independent constant current output channels, each channel can provide accurate constant current in the range of 20mA to 140mA. The chip uses ESOP8 package, compact structure, excellent heat dissipation performance, suitable for high-density LED module, advertising screen, indoor and outdoor lighting and dimming system.
2. core features and benefits
1. High precision constant current output
CXLE88184 with high current output accuracy:
• Inter-channel error not exceeding ± 3.0%
• Inter-chip error shall not exceed ± 3.5%
This means that in multi-channel or large-scale LED systems, the brightness of each LED is consistent, effectively avoiding the "color spot" or "uneven brightness" problem.
2. Wide voltage working range
The chip supports a working voltage of 4.5V to 5.5V. The VDD pin has a built-in 5.1V voltage regulator, which can be extended to 6V ~ 24V input through an external resistor to adapt to a variety of power supply environments.
3. Adjustable output current
Through the external R-EXT resistor, the user can accurately set the output current value, the formula is as follows:

For example, when Riref is 600Ω, the output current is 120mA; when Riref is 1kΩ, the output current is 72mA. This flexibility allows it to adapt to different specifications of LED lamp beads.
The R-EXT pin is connected to GND with different resistance values to obtain different constant currents at the output of the OUT pin, but different constant currents enter the constant current.
The voltage at the flow turning point is different. As can be seen in the figure, the constant current voltage point & asymp at 120mA; 0.8V, while the constant current voltage point drops to & asymp at 60mA;
0.5V, when designing the circuit, the voltage drop at the OUTx end should be fully considered to avoid the driving current not reaching the set pre-value.
In addition, the OUTx terminal is not suitable to work at a high voltage drop for a long time when it is turned on, which will increase the power loss of the chip and thus lead.
It causes serious chip heating and affects the stability of the system.
4. High withstand voltage and low power consumption
OUT port withstand voltage up to 30V, support multiple LED series. At the same time, the leakage current of the chip in the off state is very low (≤ 0.1 μA), which helps the system to save energy.
5. Built-in PWM dimming function
The PWM pin supports frequency modulation signals up to 1MHz, which can realize stroboscopic dimming. It is suitable for scenes that require dynamic brightness control, such as stage lighting, smart home lighting, etc.
3. typical application circuit details
1. 5V power supply system
Under the 5V power supply environment, the CXLE88184 can directly drive a single LED lamp bead without external current limiting resistor. The PWM signal is controlled by the MCU to achieve brightness adjustment.
As shown in the figure above, it is a CXLE88184 5V application circuit diagram. In the case of 5V power supply, each output port is connected to a lamp bead, output
Both the port and the VDD port can be connected without resistors. The PWM port can directly control the brightness of the lamp beads through the program.
2. 12V/24V high voltage system
In a 12V or 24V system, a series resistor Rv is required to limit the VDD current, and its calculation formula is:

As shown in the figure above, it is a CXLE88184 12V application circuit diagram. In the case of 12V power supply, there is no need to have a voltage regulator to VDD port
Provide a voltage of about 5V. Each output port can be connected to three series of lamp beads. If the lamp bead is red, connect the resistor R.
Is the red light can save the resistance. The PWM port can directly control the brightness of the lamp beads through the program.
Each OUT port can drive multiple series LED, such as red LED need to add current limiting resistor, other colors can be omitted.
As shown in the figure above, it is a CXLE88184 24V application circuit diagram. In the case of 24V power supply, there is no need to connect the voltage regulator to the VDD port.
Provide a voltage of about 5V. The PWM port can directly control the brightness of the lamp beads through the program.
3. Expanding flow applications
By shorting multiple OUT ports, the output current can be combined, which is suitable for high-power LED driving. For example, the maximum current of the four outputs combined can reach 560mA.
As shown in the figure above, it is a CXLE88184 circuit diagram for expanding current applications. In the case of power supply greater than 5V, there is no need to connect the voltage regulator to VDD.
The port provides a voltage of about 5V. The PWM port can directly control the brightness of the lamp beads through the program.
4. Design Considerations
1. Constant current point voltage
Constant current starting voltage is different under different output current:
• About 0.8V at 120mA
• About 0.5V at 60mA
In the design, it is necessary to ensure that the voltage drop at the OUTx end is not lower than this value, otherwise it cannot enter the constant current state.
2. Thermal management
The OUTx terminal should not be in a high voltage drop state for a long time when it is turned on, otherwise the chip power consumption will increase and the temperature will rise significantly, which will affect the stability of the system. It is recommended to reserve thermal pads or install heat sinks in the PCB layout.
3. ESD protection
The anti-static ability of the chip is 3000V(HBM). It is recommended to take anti-static measures in a dry environment to avoid performance degradation or damage due to ESD.
5. performance characteristics
5.1. Absolute maximum rating range

(1) These grades in the above table cannot allow the chip to work at the limit value for a long time. If the chip works at the limit value for a long time, it is easy to reduce the reliability of the device and may
Permanent damage can occur. It is not recommended to operate the chip beyond these limit parameters under any other conditions.
(2) All voltage values are tested relative to the network ground
