New CMJA5050 adjustable current limiting diode

18 August 2020

Source: Central Semiconductor Corp.Source: Central Semiconductor Corp.Central Semiconductor Corp., a manufacturer of innovative discrete semiconductor solutions, has introduced its new adjustable current limiting diode (CLD), the CMJA5050. This 50 V device features adjustable current regulation from 50 mA to 80 mA, and is packaged in the new DFN123F package. The adjustable device eliminates the need for using several individual CLDs in order to meet the required current regulation values.

Central’s CMJA5050 is ideal for any application requiring a space saving current regulating device, including LED lighting and test/measurement equipment. With regard to adjustment compensation resistance, placing a resistor in parallel with a CLD allows the regulator current to be adjusted from 50 mA to 80 mA. This also corrects any current decrease when the applied voltage increases due to self-heating.
