NOTES
Reg00h – Reg02h data code = (I LED / 0.125 mA) (decimal)
converted into hex format
Bits 5:0 = 1 enables LEDs C2, C1, B2, B1, A2, A1
respectively (See
Table 1). Both LEDs from one bank should be disabled to
minimize power consumption.
Log Mode:

Bits from bit 5 to bit 0 represent LED status for LEDC2 –
LEDA1 respectively. Bit = 1 represents LED shorted to GND
Bits from bit 5 to bit 0 represent LED status for LEDC2 –
LEDA1 respectively. Bit = 1 represents LED shorted to
V IN /open
See Table 3
See Table 4
Since junction temperature is measured, the values loaded
here allow an offset to account for Tj – Ta gradient.
This allows de-rate tables to be referenced to Ta levels.

Two 4 bit offsets value for the LED and the Si Diode;
Bit [7:4] = Tj-Ta offset for the LEDs
Bit [3:0] = Tj-Ta offset for the Si diode.
Typically should set both offsets to be equal.
See Table 5 & 6
