LP8860-Q1: Minimum OUT current

Pjs

Part Number: LP8860-Q1

Hi, 

What is the minimum current load on the OUTn pins? I'm looking to run 4 chains of LEDs at low current (a few mA per chain) - is such a low load likely to cause any issues?

Also, is there a minimum load for the boost converter? 

Many thanks

    Hi,

    The maximum current set with Riset resistor or with DRV_LED_CURRENT_SCALE EEPROM bits can't be too low. The current accuracy is not quite good at a very low current setting. But you can set the maximum current at a high level, such as 150mA, and then use the register LED_CURRENT_CTRL[11:0] or DISP_CL1_CURRENT[11:0]  to set the current. In that case, you can get very small current. And there's no issue to set a low current.

    There's no minimum load for the boost converter.
