Thermal considerations
In order to prevent the device from exceeding the thermal shutdown threshold (150 °C), it is
important to estimate the junction temperature through the following equation:

is 42 °C/W.
The P

where D is defined as:

where I
master current generator (typically 400 mV).
The voltages across the other current generators depend on the spread of the LEDs forward
voltage. The worst case for power dissipation (maximum forward voltage LEDs in the master
row, minimum forward voltage LEDs in all other rows) can be estimated as:

Conduction losses due to the R
Switching losses due to the power MOSFET turn on and off, calculated as:
Current generators losses. This contribution is strictly related to the LEDs used in
the application. Only the contribution of the leading current generator (“master”
current generator) can be predicted, regardless of the LEDs forward voltage:
