current level. The maximum current level is determined
by the value of RFSET. Table 4 and Figure 3 illustrate the
additional flash current levels that are available.

Writing to Address 5 enables the flash channels indefi-
nitely. FL1 and FL2 will remain ON until Address 5 is
re-programmed to OFF, ENS is strobed low to shutdown
the device, or the flash safety timer times out after FEN
has been strobed high. The flash safety timer is always
activated when FEN is taken high. The Address 5 data
setting is always reset to Data 1 when the flash timer
expires or when FEN is strobed low.
Maximum Backlight Current
(Address 12)
There are two separate current level scales that apply to
Addresses 0-2: 20mA and 30mA. According to the
Maximum Backlight Current setting at Address 12, only
one of the two scales can be active at any given time
and never both. By default, the 20mA scale is active on
startup. To change to the 30mA scale, or go back to the
20mA scale, write to Address 12.

at Data 1
Since only one of the scales can be active at any given
time, the 20mA and 30mA scales cannot be mixed
between main and sub. When setting Address 12 to the
30mA scale, only current levels from that scale can be
mixed between main and sub.

Backlight Independent Channel Control
(Address 15)
Independent Flash ON/OFF Control
(Address 5)
The AAT2846 has a unique independent channel control
mode whereby individual backlight LED channels can be
enabled and disabled to form a custom arrangement of
active channels.
Use Address 5 to program which flash channels are
active. By default, both flash channels are OFF at start-
up. After writing to Address 4 to program the desired
