5. Typical Applications and Design Recommendations
5.1. Output current setting

The output current can be accurately set by an external resistor R-EXT, and the calculation formula is as follows:

For example, when the R-EXT is 600Ω, the output current is about 30mA; when the R-EXT is 1KΩ, the output current is about 18mA.
RIREF in the formula refers to the resistance of the R-EXT terminal. When the resistance value is 600 Ω, the output current value is 30mA calculated by the formula; When
When the resistance value is 1KΩ, the output current is 18mA.
5.2. System layout recommendations
In order to reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on signal quality, it is recommended to arrange the CXLE88181 as close to the LED display module as possible, and optimize the power supply and ground wiring.
5.3. Heat dissipation and power management
The OUTx terminal should not be in a high voltage drop state for a long time when it is turned on, otherwise it will increase the chip power consumption and temperature rise, and affect the stability of the system. The LED string voltage and driving current should be reasonably selected during design.
5.4. Switching characteristic test circuit
5.5. Timing characteristics

5.6. Logic Diagram
5.7 constant current
The R-EXT pin is connected to GND with different resistance values to obtain different constant currents at the output of the OUT pin, but different constant currents flow in.
The turning point voltage of the input constant current is different. As can be seen from the figure, the constant current voltage point & asymp at 30mA; 0.6V, while the constant current voltage point drops to 20mA
& asymp;0.5V, the voltage drop at OUTx terminal should be fully considered when designing the circuit, so as not to drive the current to reach the set value.
In addition, the OUTx terminal is not suitable to work at a high voltage drop for a long time when it is turned on, which will increase the power loss of the chip and thus lead.
It causes serious chip heating and affects the stability of the system.
In practical application, may be due to signal traces or other factors of electromagnetic interference, in order to avoid such failures, it is recommended to CXLE88181
The shorter the distance from the LED display module, the better.
