7.3.2.7 Illumination Driver Plus Power FETS Efficiency

Figure 14 is an overview of the efficiency of the illumination driver plus power FETS for an input voltage of 12 V. The efficiency is shown for several output voltage levels (VLED) where the load current is swept.

Figure 15 displays the efficiency versus input voltage (VILLUM_A_VIN) at various output voltage levels (VLED).
