LED DIMMING WITH A LOGIC SIGNAL

For applications that need to adjust the LED

brightness in discrete steps, a logic signal can be

used. RMIN sets the minimum LED current value

(when the NMOS is OFF):

RINCR determines how much LED current increases

when the external NMOS switch is turned ON.

PCB Layout Guidelines

The CAT32 is a high-frequency switching regulator

and therefore proper PCB board layout and

component placement can minimize noise and

radiation and increase efficiency. To maximize

efficiency, the CAT32 design has fast switch rise and

fall times. To prevent radiation and high frequency

resonance problems minimize the length and area of

all traces connected to the SW pin and use a ground

plane under the switching regulator.

The switch, schottky output diode and output

capacitor signal path should be kept as short as

possible. The ground connection for the RSET resistor

should be tied directly to the GND pin and not be

shared with other components.
