PRODUCTION DATA
This application uses the TPS40211 as a boost controller that drives a string of LED diodes. The feedback point for this circuit is a sense resistor in series with this string. The low 260-mV reference minimizes power wasted in this resistor, and maintains the LED current at a value given by 0.26/R6. As the input voltage is varied, the duty cycle changes to maintain the LED current at a constant value so that the light intensity does not change with large input voltage variations.
