The LED1202 from STMicroelectronics is a programmable 12-channel low quiescent current LED driver. The device guarantees 5 V output driving capability and has 12 low-side current generators allowing each channel to provide up to 20 mA output current with a headroom voltage of just 350 mV (typ.)
The LED1202 LED driver offers maximum design flexibility by allowing separate output current adjustment for each channel by 8-bit analog and 12-bit digital dimming control, this allows the driver to deliver smoother more realistic lighting effects.
The LED1202 LED driver is part of STMicroelectronics Sustainable Technology program and features low quiescent current of 4 uA (typ.) making it suitable for use in portable battery powered applications such as wearables.

The LED1202 device also includes inbuilt thermal shutdown protection and open LED detection and is included in STMicroelectronics 10-year Longevity Program giving developers the reassurance to use the product in new designs.
Evaluation Board
The LED1202 programmable 12-channel low quiescent current LED driver is supported by the X-NUCLEO-LED12A1 LED driver STM32 Nucleo expansion board, this board features four LED1202 devices that can drive up to 48 LEDs allowing developers to experiment with the full capabilities of the device.
The X-NUCLEO-LED12A1 expansion board comes with an additional LED panel board that houses two LEDs matrices: a 6x8 white LED matrix and a 4x4 RGB matrix.
LED matrices can be supplied via an external power supply connected to J13 connector and by selecting the right path through J15 jumper to reach the maximum luminosity available.
The LED1202 is available in a choice of packages, WLCSP20 measuring 1.71 x 2.16 x 0.5 mm with 0.4 mm pitch and a QFN20 package measuring 3 x 3 x 0.6 mm with 0.5 mm pitch. The device has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
The LED1202 programmable 12-channel low quiescent current LED driver is suitable for a range of applications including general lighting, signage, small appliances and wearables

As embedded systems continue to evolve, designers are increasingly challenged to deliver higher performance, stronger security, and longer battery life within increasingly compact products. Whether developing industrial sensors, smart building controls, healthcare devices, or connected IoT endpoints, selecting the right microcontroller is critical to achieving design goals. The latest STM32U3 microcontroller families from STMicroelectronics have been developed to address these challenges, combining modern processing capability with an energy-conscious architecture.
In today’s fast moving electronics world, robust circuit protection is essential for ensuring long-term reliability and safety. Taiwan Semiconductor’s latest snapback (Super Clamp) TVS technology incorporated into the LTD7S24CAH device marks a significant step forward in protecting sensitive circuits from transient voltage events.
STMicroelectronics have introduced the L6986I device, a high-performance synchronous buck converter that is designed for use in applications that require isolated power conversion.
HARTING has launched the new D-Sub PushPull housings. Designed to improve efficient and process-safe handling, the HARTING D-Sub PushPull transforms a well-known connector family into a simplified solution. The PushPull locking mechanism significantly improves the assembly process and reduces installation and maintenance time by up to 50%.
In the world of connected devices, one truth stands firm: even the smartest technology fails if it can’t survive the environment it’s built for. Rain, dust, vibration, UV—these forces don’t care how elegant your circuitry is. They’re relentless. That’s why CamdenBoss created Node & Hub: a new family of enclosures engineered not just to protect electronics, but to make every installation faster, cleaner, and smarter.
The EZPV Series from Panasonic delivers a highly versatile solution for DC Link and DC Filtering applications, offering a broad capacitance range and multiple operating voltage options.
The HIROSE BM54 series floating board‑to‑board connector is designed to absorb real‑world tolerances without sacrificing density.
