Output Current Range Set−Up
The current regulation is achieved by means of an external sense resistor connected in series with the LED string.

The current flowing through the LED creates a voltage
drop across the sense resistor R1. The voltage drop is
constantly monitored internally, and maximum peak current
allowed in the inductor is set accordingly in order to keep
constant this voltage drop (and thus the current flowing
through the LED). For example, should one need a 10 mA
output current, the sense resistor should be sized according
to the following equation:

A standard 5% tolerance resistor, 22 W SMD device,
yields 9.09 mA, good enough to fulfill the back light
demand. The typical application schematic diagram is
provided in Figure 9.
