JAJSDP5D February 2016 – March 2018 LM36273
PRODUCTION DATA.
In PWM mode, registers 0x12 and 0x13 contain the PWM duty cycle to the 11-bit code conversion information. Register 0x12 contains the 8 LSBs of the brightness code and register 0x13 the 3 MSBs. To translate this reading to the actual LED current setting of the LM36273, convert it to the corresponding duty cycle and multiply it by the brightness level setting in the brightness registers (0x04 and 0x05). For example, if the 11-bit brightness code is set to 0x554 (decimal 1364) and the PWM-to-digital code readback is 0x3FF (decimal 1023) in linear mode, the expected LED current is approximately: ILED = 45.37 µA + ( ( 1023 / 2047 ) × 14.63 × 1364 ) µA = 10.018 mA (approximately 50% duty cycle).
