Hey guys,
I built another board, which is a 3-channel (RGB) LED driver based on an inexpensive chipset called PT4115 (you can find them on eBay or Aliexpress).
The circuit is very simple and looks like Sparkfunās PicoBuck. However, I used beefier components and a different chip. You may say itās pretty much the same thing, butĀ I made it to learn some more aboutĀ PCB design.
Datasheet here. LED current is set through a sense resistor. The output current I is equal to 0.1/Rs. I wanted ~300mA for each channel so I chose a 0.33 ohm resistor. If you want 350mA, chooseĀ a 0.27ohm resistor.
Each channel can be controlled via PWM (you can solder male/female headers on the board), for example with an Arduino.
You can input up to 30V and control 3W/10W/20W LEDs.
