LED Current Selection
At power-up, the initial LED current is set to full scale
(100% brightness) by the external resistor R_SET as
follows:
LED current = 132 × ^0.6V
R _SET
The EN/DIM pin has two primary functions. One
function enables and disables the device. The other
function is LED current dimming with six different
CAT3643
levels by pulsing the input signal, as shown on Figure 3.
On each consecutive pulse rising edge, the LED current
is divided by half to 50%, then 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and
3.125% dimming levels.
Pulses faster than the minimum T_LO may be ignored
and filtered by the device. Pulses longer than the
maximum T_LO may shutdown the device.
The LED driver enters a “zero current” shutdown mode
if EN/DIM is held low for 1.5ms or more.
