7.4.1.2.2 11-Bit Code Calculation

The 11-bit linear mapping follows the equation:

Equation 4. LM3697 mapping_equation_11-bit_linear.gif

Where ILED_FULLSCALE is the full-scale LED current setting, Code is the 11-bit backlight code in the Control Brightness MSB and LSB registers and DPWM is the PWM Duty Cycle.
