What this LED driver does
The MAX6948BGWA+T is a constant-current LED driver IC from Maxim Integrated, designed to regulate and dim a single LED string at up to 30 mA. The 25-WLP package keeps the footprint small for space-constrained backlight or indicator applications. This is a regulator-type driver — it maintains a steady current through the LED regardless of supply variation, which matters for consistent brightness across temperature.
Output current — what 30 mA means for the BOM
The 30 mA output current sets the maximum LED drive. For a single LED or a series string within that current budget, the driver holds regulation.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
ROHS3 compliant, so it clears EU and global regulatory gates without an exemption review.
Packaging — Strip format
This part ships in Strip packaging, not Tape & Reel. For pick-and-place lines, that means a feeder change or manual placement.
