An analog voltage applied to the ICTRLx pin allows changing the output current for each channel on the fly from 10%–100% of full-scale. Typically, this approach is used to:
Implementing this analog dimming function is possible with an analog approach (discrete resistor and NTC network) or with a more-flexible approach by using a microcontroller. Internally clamping the maximum voltage on the ICTRLx pin at 1.5 V simplifies the analog implementation. So applying any higher voltage has no effect on the output current (which remains at its current set point at 100% of full scale, that is, 150 mV or 300 mV drop at the external current shunt resistor).
