Resistive Dimming Control

A simplified dimming control can be achieved using a variable resistor connected between VADJ and GND. Capacitor CADJ

is optional, it is installed to limit AC mains interference and high frequency noise. The recommended value of CADJ is

0.22µF.

Output Current Adjustment by PWM Control:

Driving VADJ Directly

A Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal with a duty cycle of DPWM can be applied directly to VADJ pin as shown below.

Driving VADJ Via Open Collector Transistor

The VADJ can also be driven via an open collector transistor as shown below.

The diode and resistor serve to suppress any possible high amplitude negative voltage spikes to the VADJ input resulting

from the collector to emitter capacitance of the transistor. Any negative voltage spikes will cause errors in output current

and/or unstable driver operation.
