1 For input and output current specifications, negative current is defined as coming out of the node or pin (sourcing); positive current is defined as going into the node or pin
(sinking).
2 Ensured by design and characterization, not production tested.
3 Minimum VIN = 4.5 V is only required at startup. After startup is completed, IC can continue to operate down to VIN = 3.9 V.
4 LED current is trimmed to cancel variations in both Gain and ISET voltage.
