DESCRIPTION
Demo circuit DC1274A features the LTM
step-down constant current μModule
demonstration circuit is designed to drive a single LED
or string of LEDs at up to 1A from a wide input voltage
range. The maximum LED string voltage is 13V and the
minimum voltage varies depending upon the BIAS pin sup-
ply arrangement. The demonstration circuit is assembled
with the BIAS pin connected to the LEDA pin.
The LTM8040 runs at 500kHz switching frequency by
default. DC1274A can be adjusted to raise the switching
