Design Description

This circuit has been designed to drive a string of two AlInGaP red or amber LEDs (total Vo = 5.2V) at a forward current of 350 mA +-10% mA with a peak-to-peak ripple current of 140 mA or less. The input is 8V to 42V, with LED current and switching frequency (600 kHz) centered at Vin = 24V.

In expectation of fast PWM dimming requirements there is no output capacitor used in this design.
