Device Operation
consisting of up to four separate strings. A single external
resistor value is used to select the drive level in all output
channels. Each channel provides a very well regulated and
tightly matched bias current on all LED strings.
the high voltage output required to power the LED strings.
Up to a maximum of 6 W of LED power can be delivered
when powered from a 12 V supply.
user to set the operating voltage level on the output drive
channels. A pair of external resistors is used to control the
nominal channel voltage, during normal operation. The
resulting output voltage (LED anodes) will be equal to the
sum of the adjusted channel voltage plus the maximum
forward voltage present on any string.
to accurately regulate LED current in each channel. Up to
175 mA per channel can be programmed by selecting a
suitable value for the external R1 resistor (connected
between RSET and GND pins).
LED Current Setting
to accurately regulate LED current in each channel. The
LED current is set by the external resistor R1 connected
between the RSET pin and ground. The following formula
gives the relationship between the resistor value and the
LED current per channel.

performance when loaded with around 15 mA, which
equates to an R3 resistor value of 20 kW.

LED Detection
LED load, such as if one of the LED strings has been
disconnected (Open−LED) or if one LED string has a lower
LED pin voltage than expected (Short−LED). Either
condition is flagged by turning on the open−drain output on
the FAULT pin. The Open−LED detection is active in
normal operation. The Short−LED detection is only active
during power−up, just after the EN/PWM input goes from
low to high. If in normal operation (LEDs are in regulation)
a short−LED condition occurs, it will not be detected.

Figure 26 is with one LED pin floating or disconnected. In
both cases, the CAT4106 is set to drive 50 mA per channel.
Setting VFMIN Level (Short−LED)

voltage setting is based on the number of series LEDs being
used and the expected minimum forward voltage V

LED having a V

expected string voltage would be 18 V. Any string voltage
of less than 18 V is considered as a short−circuit fault in one
or more of the series LEDs.
