Description 

The SF6100 is a non isolated DC/DC SMPS 

(POL)  with  constant  current  output.  Driver 
produces  high  stability  and  low  ripple 
current.  Protection  features  include  an  over 
current protection with adjustable limit, soft-
start,  thermal  warning  and  shutdown, 
reverse  current  protection  and  crowbar 
circuit protection. This means the SF6100 can 
safely  drive  non  linear  and  current  quality 
sensitive loads like laser diodes and LEDs.  

The  driver  can  be  controlled  by  analogue 

or digital signals.  

SF6100  is  available  in  thermal  enhanced 

half-brick package with aluminum base plate 
to  aid  thermal  dissipation.  Driver  can  be 
mounted  on  any  thermal  conductive  surface 
enough to dissipate driver losses.
