LM3435: About current consumption when turning off the red LED

Part Number: LM3435


Hello Teams,

When the Red LED is turned off, the current consumption of the LM3435 increases by about 1A momentarily.
This phenomenon is not seen when the green and blue LEDs are turned off.
The red LED has the lowest Vf, so it looks like a mysterious phenomenon. What could be the cause?

- R(IREFG) = 39Kohm
- R(IREFB) = 78Kohm
- R(IREFR) = 54Kohm

- GLED Vf = 3.0-4.0V (Typ 3.3V)
- BLED Vf = 2.7-3.7V (Typ 3.4V)
- RLED Vf = 2.0-2.7V (Typ 2.3V)

The momentary increase in current consumption causes the Vin voltage to drop, affecting other devices that are using the Vin voltage.

Best Regards,
Kato
