7.3.9.4 LED Current Dimming with External NTC Sensor
When an external resistor for maximum current control is used, current dimming for LED current can be used
also. In this case LED current can be de-rated when ambient temperature is high. This option must be enabled
by <EXT_TEMP_I_DIMMING_EN> and <EXT_TEMP_COMP_EN> EEPROM bits.
Knee point and slope are defined by <EXT_TEMP_MINUS[1:0]> and <EXT_TEMP_GAIN[3:0]> EEPROM bits
respectively. LED shutdown temperature is defined by <EXT_TEMP_LEVEL_HIGH[3:0]> bits. Serial and parallel
resistors R1 and R2 affect the slope and knee point and can be used for the thermal curve adjustment and NTC
linearization.
