Brightness Control
12 102 Dimming control can be achieved by applying a 15 80.6 PWM control signal to the SHDN pin. The brightness of the white LEDs is controlled by 20 60.4 increasing and decreasing the duty cycle of The PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle corresponds to

As shown in Figure 22. is from 60Hz to 200Hz. A repetition rate of at least 60Hz is required to prevent flicker. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher VIN D1 than the minimum SHDN voltage high. L1 VOUT
Open Circuit Protection
C2 R1 When any white LED inside the white LED C1 U1 5 1 module fails or the LED module is disconnected V SW I N from the circuit, the output and the feedback SP6690 4 3 SHDN FB control will be open, thus resulting in a high 1.22V G ND output voltage, which may cause the SW pin R2 2 voltage to exceed it maximum rating. In this case, a zener diode can be used at the output to limit the voltage on the SW pin and protect the part. The zener voltage should be larger than the maximum forward voltage of the White LED
