Application notes
Setting nominal average output current with external resistor RS
The nominal average output current in the LED(s) is determined by the value of the external
current sense resistor (R
I
The table below gives values of nominal average output current for several preferred values of
current setting resistor (R
The above values assume that the ADJ pin is floating and at a nominal voltage of V
Note that R
maintain switch current below the specified maximum value.
It is possible to use different values of R
next section).
Output current adjustment by external DC control voltage
The ADJ pin can be driven by an external dc voltage (V
to a value above or below the nominal average value defined by R
The nominal average output current in this case is given by:
I
Note that 100% brightness setting corresponds to V
1.25V, R
The input impedance of the ADJ pin is 50k
voltages above V
