Operation

temperature is higher than 150C(typically), the LX
N-MOSFET is also turned OFF until the temperature is
lower than 120C(typically).
When VINis higher than the UVLO rising threshold voltage
and ENpin input voltage is higher than its rising threshold,
the converter will be turned on.
Minimum LED Selection
OSC
This block detects all CHx voltages and selects a
minimum voltage to EA(ErrorAmplifier). This function can
guarantee the lowest CH voltage is around 500mV and
Vout can be boosted to the highest forward voltage of LED
strings.
The oscillator generates a clock pulse to control the LX
switching frequency according to the external resistor
connected between RT pin andGND.
PWM Controller
LED Open Detection
This controller includes some logic circuit to control the
internal power MOSFET. This block controls the minimum
ON time and max duty of LX.
When CHx is not connected to any LEDstrings, the voltage
of CHx is pulled low by internal current sink. If voltage of
CHx is lower than 50mV and OVP is over 1.2V, this channel
is detected as open channel and the Minimum LED
Selection function will discard it to regulate other used
channels in proper voltage.
OCP&OTP
When LXN-MOSFET peak current reaches 2A(typically),
the LXN-MOSFET is turned OFF immediately and resumes
again at the next clock pulse. When the junction
