Suppose the A8519 is started up with a valid external SYNC sig-

nal, but the SYNC signal is lost during normal operation. In that

case, one of the following happens:

•

If the external SYNC signal is high impedance (open), the

A8519 continues normal operation after approximately 5 µs,

at the switching frequency set by RFSET. No FAULT flag is

generated.

•

If the external SYNC signal is stuck low (shorted to ground),

the A8519 will detect an FSET-shorted-to-GND fault. The

FAULT pin is pulled low after approximately 10 µs, and

switching is disabled. Once the FSET pin is released or

SYNC signal is detected again, the A8519 will proceed to

soft-start.

To prevent generating a fault when the external SYNC signal is

stuck at low, the circuit shown in Figure 12 can be used. When

the external SYNC signal goes low, the A8519 will continue to

operate normally at the switching frequency set by the RFSET. No

FAULT flag is generated.

LED Current Setting and LED Dimming

The maximum LED current can be up to 100 mA per chan-

nel, and is set through the ISET pin. Connect a resistor, RISET,

between this pin and GND. To set ILED calculate RISET as fol-

lows:

I = I × A
