My application requires analog dimming. In general, I see that some chips only offer 10:1 or 20:1 for analog dimming. For 10:1 dimming, I think that is 1 part in 10 or a resolution of 10%. For 20:1 dimming, I think that is 1 part in 20, or a resolution of 5% with a constant control voltage.
This is two orders of magnitude less than PWM dimming, which provides much more resolution.
What is the limiting factor for analog dimming? Noise in the driver chip, current ripple, etc?
Why not one of magnitude?
