PRODUCTION DATA
The UDIM pin is a dual-function input that features an accurate 1.22-V threshold with programmable hysteresis as shown in Figure 7-4. This pin functions as both the external PWM dimming input for the LEDs and as a VIN UVLO. When the rising pin voltage exceeds the 1.22-V threshold, 10 µA (typical) of current is driven out of the UDIM pin into the resistor divider providing programmable hysteresis.
The brightness of LEDs can be varied by modulating the duty cycle of the signal directly connected to the UDIM input. In addition, either an n-channel MOSFET or a Schottky diode can be used to couple an external PWM signal when using UDIM input in conjunction with UVLO functionality. With an n-channel MOSFET, the brightness is proportional to the negative duty cycle of the external PWM signal. With an Schottky diode, the brightness is proportional to the positive duty cycle of the external PWM signal.
When using the UDIM pin for UVLO and PWM dimming concurrently, the UVLO circuit can have an extra resistor to set the hysteresis. This allows the standard resistor divider to have smaller values, minimizing PWM delays. TI recommends at least 1 V of hysteresis when PWM dimming if you are operating near the UVLO threshold. Use Equation 8 to define the rising threshold.
Use Equation 9 to define the hysteresis.
