Dimming — two paths, one pin
Dimming is handled through both analog and PWM methods. Analog dimming adjusts the LED current linearly; PWM dimming switches the LED on and off at a duty cycle, giving you a wider dimming ratio without color shift. The same pin handles both, so the firmware team can choose the method that fits the application — no extra pin needed.
Switching frequency — set it where you need it
The oscillator is programmable from 100 kHz to 1 MHz via a single resistor. Lower frequency cuts switching losses; higher frequency shrinks the inductor and capacitor. For EMI-sensitive designs, synchronizing to an external clock is possible — the datasheet covers the sync range.
Package and thermal
Comes in a 16-lead WFQFN with exposed pad (3 mm × 3 mm). The pad must be soldered to a copper plane for thermal relief — the junction temperature range is 0°C to 125°C, so in a high-ambient enclosure the pad is your main heat path out of the part. Surface-mount only; no through-hole option.
Lifecycle and compliance
ROHS3 compliant (lead-free). No AEC-Q100 qualification listed, so for automotive designs verify the customer's own qualification requirements against the 0°C to 125°C rating.
