1For input and output current specifications, negative current is defined as coming out of (sourcing) the specified device pin.
2Function is correct but parameters are not guaranteed below the general limit (5 V).
3BB mode = buck-boost (supply-referenced) mode, B mode = boost (ground-referenced) mode.
4Parameters guaranteed by design.
5Fault Blank timer not enabled for open-LED condition.
6Undercurrent when VSENSEL < VIDL– VUCL, where VSENSEL is the voltage across the LED current sense resistor RSL
.
7Overcurrent when VSENSEL > VIDL+VOVCL, where VSENSEL is the voltage across the LED current sense resistor RSL
8Protection only provided in buck-boost mode with LED cathode (LP) connection shorted to ground.
