1. OPERATING POINT

Given the number of series LEDs (N), the forward voltage (VLED) and dynamic resistance (rLED) for a single LED,

solve for the nominal output voltage (VO) and the nominal LED string dynamic resistance (rD):

(35)

Solve for the ideal nominal duty cycle (D):

Buck

(36)

Boost

(37)

Buck-boost

(38)

Using the same equations, find the minimum duty cycle (DMIN) using maximum input voltage (VIN-MAX) and the

maximum duty cycle (DMAX) using the minimum input voltage (VIN-MIN). Also, remember that D' = 1 - D.

2. SWITCHING FREQUENCY

Set the switching frequency (fSW) by assuming a CT value of 1 nF and solving for RT:
