The KAB3403T/DN will then switch at a high duty cycle resulting
in a high output voltage. But Internal Over Voltage Protection
Circuits prevent output voltage ascending over OVD pin
voltage(19V ~ 23V see Fig 4). This circuits is valid when driving
up to 4 LEDs in series. But, when driving more than 4 LEDs in
series, Normal output voltage could be over OVD pin voltage. In
this case, zener diode can be used to check connect of OVD pin to
LED anode.(see Fig 5) [Recommended Zener diode : KDZ3.0V]

Inductor Section
A 1uF input capacitor and output capacitor above 1uF are
sufficient for most KAB3403T/DN application.
Diode Selection
For Diode Selection, both forward voltage drop and diode
capacitance need to be considered. Schottky diodes with higher
current ratings usually have lower forward voltage and larger diode
capacitance, which can cause significant switching losses. A
schottky diode rated at 100mA to 200mA is sufficient for most
KAB3403T/DN applications.

Dimming Control
There are 4 different type of dimming control circuits;
LED Current Control
The LED current is controlled by the feedback resistor (RSENSE
in Figure 1). The feedback reference is 320mV. The LED current
is 320mV/RSENSE . The tolerance of LED Current is depends on
tolerance of RSENSE and feedback reference.
Open-Circuits Protection
In the case of output open circuit, when LEDs are disconnected
from the circuit or the LEDs fail, the feedback voltage will be zero.
