8.2.1.2.3 Average LED Current
For all topologies, set the average LED current (ILED) knowing the desired current sense voltage (VSNS) and solving for RSNS:
Equation 42. 
If the calculated RSNS is too far from a desired standard value, then VSNS will have to be adjusted to obtain a standard value.
Setup the suggested signal current of 100 µA by assuming RCSH = 12.4 kΩ and solving for RHSP:
Equation 43. 
If the calculated RHSP is too far from a desired standard value, then RCSH can be adjusted to obtain a standard value.
