6.4.6.3 Output Voltage Regulation

In LED drive mode, the LM3645 boost will either operate in pass mode if the output voltage minus the LED voltage is greater than the target current source headroom voltage. If the output can no longer operate in pass mode, the DC/DC boost will turn on and constantly monitor all enabled outputs and ensure that the output with the highest forward voltage LED always has the correct headroom voltage.

In Voltage drive mode, the output is always regulated to the target value so long as the output voltage is less than the input voltage. If the input voltage is higher than the output voltage, the device will not be regulated and will instead operate in pass mode.
