Hello,
I think I know the answer to my question; however, I am gonna throw it out there anyway!
I've got an application where I'd like to light up 12 medium power LEDs - think 175 mA each in torch mode and up to 500 mA flash. These LM36011 buggers are so small, they could hide out next to each LED that I am driving. Which I like to be able to spread heat. However, then I read that they'd all have the same I2C address... with no I2C address configurability. Which leads me to my question.
If I don't care that all the LEDs would be doing the exact same thing. Is it possible to sort of "globally address" all the LM36011's by talking to them all at one time, at the same address?
Will the system just go crazy as they all start "ACK"ing over each other?
Thank you,
A curious Heffalump
