LM3431 Features

* LED cathode feedback to minimize regulator headroom and optimize efficiency. A DIM input pin controls LED brightness from analog or digital control signals. Dimming frequencies up to 25 kHz are possible with a contrast ratio of 100:1. Contrast ratios greater than 1000:1 are possible at lower dimming
