PRODUCTION DATA.
Voltage at the ICTRL pin, V(ICTRL), is used for analog dimming control. To set V(ICTRL), either a reference input voltage can be applied or a resistor between ICTRL and GND can be used.
When V(ICTRL) is greater than V(ICTRL_FULL), analog dimming is not enabled; thus the analog dimming ratio is at 100%.
When V(ICTRL) is between V(ICTRL_LIN_BOT) and V(ICTRL_LIN_TOP), the analog dimming ratio is directly proportional to V(ICTRL). The analog dimming ratio can be calculated using the following equation. V(ICTRL_LIN_BOT) and V(ICTRL_LIN_TOP) represent the ICTRL voltage boundaries of the linear region.
When VICTRL is between V(ICTRL_LIN_TOP) and V(ICTRL_FULL) or between V(ICTRL_LIN_BOT) and 0, analog dimming is in a transition region, and linearity is not assured. Thus it is not recommended to use ICTRL in these regions.
