JAJSDP5D February 2016 – March 2018 LM36273
PRODUCTION DATA.
To prevent jitter at the input PWM signal from feeding through the PWM path and causing oscillations in the LED current, the LM36273 offers 4 selectable hysteresis settings. The hysteresis options for the 1-MHz and 4-MHz PWM sample rate settings are 1, 2, 4, and 6 bits and for the 24-MHz PWM sample rate setting 0, 1, 2, and 3 bits. The hysteresis works by forcing a specific number of 11-bit LSB code transitions to occur in the input duty cycle before the LED current changes. Table 6 describes the hysteresis. The hysteresis only applies during the change in direction of brightness currents. Once a change in the direction of the LED current has taken place, the PWM input must over come the required LSB(s) of the hysteresis setting before the brightness change takes effect. Once the initial hysteresis has been overcome and the direction in brightness change remains the same, the PWM to current response changes with no hysteresis.
