The output voltages for LDOA and LDOB are pro-
grammed by an external resistor divider network.
As shown below, the selection of R1 and R2 is a
straight forward matter.
R1 is chosen by considering the tradeoff between
the feedback network bias current and resistor
value. Higher resistor values allow stray capaci-
tance to become a larger factor in circuit perform-
ance whereas lower resistor values increase bias
current and decrease efficiency.

Altering the Maximum Flash LED
Current Level
RFSET determines the maximum LED current level at
each of the F1 and F2 flash LED outputs. In the typ-
ical application, selecting RFSET = 280K results in
300mA/ch LED current. From this reference point,
the maximum current level can be modified by cal-
culating an alternative RFSET value:
OUT(A/B)
VOUT(A/B)
R2(A/B)
R1(A/B)
FB(A/B)
VREF(A/B) = 1.2V

This is illustrated in Figure 4.
To select appropriate resistor values, first choose R1
such that the feedback network bias current is less
than 10µA. Then, according to the desired VOUT, cal-
culate R2 according to the equation below. An exam-
ple calculation follows.

An R1 value of 120K is chosen, resulting in a small
feedback network bias current of 1.2V/120K = 10µA.
The desired output voltage is 1.8V. From this infor-
mation, R2 is calculated from the equation below.

The result is R2 = 60K. Since 60K is not a standard
1%-value, 60.4K is selected. From this example
calculation, for VOUT = 1.8V, use R1 = 120K and R2
= 60.4K. Example output voltages and correspon-
ding resistor values are provided in Table 11.
