• Multi-function On/Off and brightness control pin:
• Leave floating for normal operation.
• Drive to voltage below 0.2V to turn off output current
• Drive with DC voltage (0.3V < CTRL< 2.5V) to adjust output current from 0 to 100% of IOUT_NOM
• Drive with PWM signal from open-collector or open-drain transistor, to adjust output current.
Linear adjustment range from 1% to 100% of IOUT_NOM for f < 500Hz

• Connect a capacitor from this pin to ground to increase soft-start time.
(Default soft-start time = 0.1ms. Additional soft-start time is approx.1.5ms/1nF)

VIN
Connect resistor RS from this pin to VIN to define nominal average output current: IOUT_NOM = 0.1/Rs
Input voltage (4.5V to 40V). Decouple to ground with 10μF or higher X7R ceramic capacitor close to
device.
Exposed pad. Connect to GND and thermal mass for enhanced thermal impedance. Should not be
used as electrical ground conduction path.
