A8514
Design Example
This section provides a method for selecting component values
when designing an application using the A8514. The resulting
design is diagrammed in figure 34.
Assumptions: For the purposes of this example, the following are
given as the application requirements:
• V
• Quantity of LED channels, #
• Quantity of series LEDs per channel, #
• LED current per channel, I
• V
• f
• T
• PWM dimming frequency: 200 Hz, 1% duty cycle
Procedure: The procedure consists of selecting the appropriate
configuration and then the individual component values, in an
ordered sequence.

on the LED requirements. The regulation voltage, V
A8514 is 720 mV. A constant term, 2 V, is added to give margin
to the design due to noise and output voltage ripple.
