Circuit Description
Figure 1
An external shunt resistor in the ground path of the connected LEDs is used to sense the
LED current. A regulation loop helds the voltage drop at the shunt resistor on a constant
level of typ. 177 mV. Selecting the shunt resistance permits to adjust the appropriate
constant current level. The typ. output current calculates
where
equation applies in a range of 0.39 Ω ≤
The output current is shown as a function of the reference resistance on
the PWM input the LED brightness can be regulated via duty cycle. Also PWM = L sets
the TLE 4242 in sleep mode resulting in a very low current consumption of << 1 μA typ.
Due to the high impedance of the PWM input (see
