DocID026129 Rev 1

Equation 1 can be rewritten as follows:

Equation 7

for example:

Equation 8

where:



IMAX: max.current imposed through the DAC setup (1/16)



IAVG: average current - imposed as 90% of IMAX (by design)



(IMAX - IAVG): current difference: (IMAX * 0.1)



I: is the inductance value = 470 10-6 H (by design)



CLK: Is the SMED CLK = 96 106 Hz

The average current IAVG is set by design to be equal to 90% of IMAX.The algorithm controls

the current to be centered in IAVG, with a ripple equal to ± 10% of IMAX. In Equation 8, the

current and the voltage across LED are unknown. The current (IMAX) is an input value

defined by the user. The voltage on the LED string is the difference between the main power

voltage and the VCOMx voltage sensed by two ADC channels. Considering 1.184 A IMAX

current and IAVG approximated to 1.066 (the real value is 1.0654), Equation 4 is expanded

into:

Equation 9

where K (196763 in this case) is a constant for the given LED current selected by the user.

The IMAX values accepted by the STEVAL-ILL057V1 board are bounded by the DAC limits

as shown in Table 1:
