PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin # Name Description
1 EN Enable Control Input. Do not let this pin floating.
2 OSC
Switching-Frequency Selection. When left floating or connected to VCC, the step-up
converter switching frequency is 1.25MHz. When connected to GND, the step-up converter
switching frequency is 625kHz.
3 FPWM
Dimming PWM Frequency Setting. Connect a capacitor, C
FPWM
, between FPWM and GND to
set the DPWM frequency using the equation: f
DPWM
=3.5F/C
FPWM
.
4 PWMO
PWM Filter Output. For external PWM dimming, connect a capacitor between PWMO and
GND. For DC-input PWM dimming, directly apply a DC voltage between 0.2V and 1.2V. The
DC-input PWM dimming polarity is negative.
5 GND Analog Ground.
6 PWMI
PWM Signal Input. For external PWM dimming mode, apply a PWM signal. For DC-input
PWM dimming mode, leave floating.
7 LED8
LED String 8 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 8 cathode to this pin.
8 LED7
LED String 7 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 7 cathode to this pin.
9 LED6
LED String 6 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 6 cathode to this pin.
10 LED5
LED String 5 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 8 cathode to this pin.
11 ISET
LED Current Setting. Tie a current setting resistor from this pin to ground to program the
current in each LED string. I
LED
= 1000 x 1.21V / R
SET
12 LED4
LED String 4 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 4 cathode to this pin.
13 LED3
LED String 3 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 3 cathode to this pin.
14 LED2
LED String 2 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 2 cathode to this pin.
15 LED1
LED String 1 Current Input. This pin is the open-drain output of an internal dimming-control
switch. Connect the LED String 1 cathode to this pin.
