Ground current as a function of supply voltage; typical values 11. Application information Fig. 6 shows a typical application circuit for an LED driver. The constant current ensures a constant LED brightness. The output current slightly decreases when the power load at the LED driver increases. This effect is due to self heating of the device and the negative thermal coefficient of the output current. VSUP VO IO LED GND aaa-019594 Fig. 6.
