Notification 627 - Feedback current too high

FIX / REFERENCE(S)

Warning

Feedback current is too high.

  • Use larger device or force optimization with lower value of VOR.

 

In order to maximize the allowable output voltage variation and give the smallest output current variation a value of 150 μA is ideal allowing an LED string voltage variation of up to 2:1, (VO(MAX):VO(MIN)).  

Because most designs have a smaller output variation, IFB is allowed to be between 100 μA and 205 μA.
