9.2.2 No Internal Shunt Regulator Mode 2
This application does not use the shunt regulator. However, the device VCC and LED lamp anode voltage are
supplied from different power supplies.

SDI voltage range
SDI data frequency
EXAMPLE VALUE
3.0 V to 5.5 V
LED forward voltage (VF) × the number of LED lamps + 1 V;
maximum voltage is 24 V
Low level = GND, high level = VCC
100 kbps to 3 Mbps
9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The OUTn (n = 0 to 2) constant output current is set by an external resistor connected between the device IREF
and GND pins. Use Equation 1 to calculate the requirements for RIREF.
