8.2.2.2.4 Sense Resistor Selection

The maximum LED current is 1A at 100% PWM duty and the corresponding VREF is 200mV. By using Equation 33, the sense resistance is 200mΩ. Note that the power consumption of the sense resistor is 200mW, requiring enough margin of the resistor power rating in selection.

Equation 22. RSENSE=VREFILED_FS

In buck-boost topology, CSENSE is required to achieve the IFD control. Using Equation 23, a 10µF, 50V X7R ceramic capacitor is chosen for CSENSE to suppress the ac magnitude of sense feedback less than 200mV. A 100Ω resistor is recommended at CSN pin to avoid noise injection and increase robustness.

Equation 23. CSENSE=0.25×IL(max)200mV×fSW
