PRODUCTION DATA.
Adaptive dimming control combines PWM Control and Pure Current Control dimming methods. With the adaptive dimming, it is possible to achieve better optical efficiency from the LEDs compared to pure PWM control while still achieving smooth and accurate control at low brightness levels. Current resolution in this mode is 12 bits. Switch point from Current to PWM control can be set with the PWM_TO_I_THRESHOLD EPROM field from 0% to 100% of the brightness range to get good compromise between good matching of the LEDs brightness/white point at low brightness and good optical efficiency.
PWM frequency is set either using an external set Resistor (RFSET) or using the PWM_FREQ EPROM bits. The maximum LED current is set either by using an external set Resistor (RISET), CURRENT, and CURRENT_MAX EPROM bits. Or the maximum LED current may be set using the CURRENT and CURRENT_MAX EPROM bits.
