LED6000
The transfer function of the PWM modulator, from the error amplifier output (COMP pin) to
the LX pin results in an almost constant gain, due to the voltage feedforward which
generates a sawtooth with amplitude VS directly proportional to the input voltage:

k FF VIN
For the LED6000 the feedforward gain is KFF = 1/30.
The synchronization of the device with an external clock provided through the SYNCH pin
can modify the PWM modulator gain (see Section 4.1 on page 11 to understand how this
gain changes and how to keep it constant in spite of the external synchronization).
The transfer function of the power section (i.e.: the voltage across RSNS resulting as
a variation of the duty cycle) is:

given L, RDC, CO, RES, RSNS and Rd the parameters shown in Figure 16.
The power section transfer function can be rewritten as follows:

with the assumption that the inductor parasitic resistance, RDC, and the output capacitor
parasitic resistance, RES, are negligible compared to LED dynamic resistance, Rd.
The closed loop gain is then given by:
