Figure 2. CAT4101 EN/PWM Timing
EN/PWM Operation
The EN/PWM pin has two primary functions. One
function enables and disables the device. The other function
turns the LED channel on and off for PWM dimming
control. The device has a very fast turn ? on time (from
EN/PWM rising to LED on) and allows “instant on” when
dimming LED using a PWM signal.
Accurate linear dimming is compatible with PWM
frequencies from 100 Hz to 5 kHz for PWM duty cycle
When performing a combination of low frequencies and
small duty cycles, the device may enter shutdown mode.
This has no effect on the dimming accuracy, because the
turn ? on time T PS is very short, in the range of 1 m s.
To ensure that PWM pulses are recognized, pulse width
low time T LO should be longer than 1 m s. The CAT4101
enters a “zero current” shutdown mode after a 5 ms delay
(typical) when EN/PWM is held low.
down to 1%. PWM frequencies up to 50 kHz can be
supported for duty cycles greater than 10%.
