Pin Functions

PIN I/O DESCRIPTION
NUMBER NAME
A1 LED1 Input Input to current sink 1. The boost converter regulates the minimum voltage between LED1, LED2, LED3 to VHR.
A2 BL_ADJ Input LED current adjust input. When BL_ADJ is driven to a logic high voltage the LED current steps down to the programmed low current value.
A3 GND Input Ground
B1 LED2 Input Input pin to current sink 2. The boost converter regulates the minimum voltage between LED1, LED2 ,LED3 to VHR.
B2 SDA I/O Data I/O for I2C-Compatible Interface.
B3 SW Output Drain Connection for internal low side NFET, and anode connection for external Schottky diode.
C1 LED3 Input Input pin to current sink 3. The boost converter regulates the minimum voltage between LED1, LED2, LED3 to VHR.
C2 SCL Input Clock Input for I2C-compatible interface.
C3 OUT Input OUT serves as the sense point for overvoltage protection. Connect OUT to the positive pin of the output capacitor.
D1 PWM Input Logic level input for PWM current control.
D2 HWEN Input Hardware enable input. Drive HWEN high to bring the device out of shutdown and allow I2C writes or PWM control.
D3 IN Input Input voltage connection. Bypass IN to GND with a minimum 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor.
