3. AVERAGE LED CURRENT
For all topologies, set the average LED current (I
LED
) knowing the desired current sense voltage (V
SNS
) and
solving for R
SNS
:
(35)
If the calculated R
SNS
is too far from a desired standard value, then V
SNS
will have to be adjusted to obtain a
standard value.
Setup the suggested signal current of 100 µA by assuming R
CSH
= 12.4 kΩ and solving for R
HSP
:
(36)
If the calculated R
HSP
is too far from a desired standard value, then R
CSH
can be adjusted to obtain a standard
value.
4. INDUCTOR RIPPLE CURRENT
Set the nominal inductor ripple current (Δi
L-PP
) by solving for the appropriate inductor (L1):

(38)
To set the worst case inductor ripple current, use V
IN-MAX
and D
MIN
when solving for L1.
The minimum allowable inductor RMS current rating (I
L-RMS
) can be calculated as:
