PRODUCTION DATA.
Set the nominal LED ripple current (ΔiLED-PP), by solving for the output capacitance (CO):
Buck
Boost and Buck-boost
To set the worst case LED ripple current, use DMAX when solving for CO. Remember, when PWM dimming, TI recommends using a minimum of 40 µF of output capacitance to improve performance.
The minimum allowable RMS output capacitor current rating (ICO-RMS) can be approximated:
