LED driver current sense cant find resistor
(1/2) > >>
smile:
Hello,

I have LED flood light, the driver is BP3319MB
Data sheet https://www.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/pdf/1141562/BPS/BP3319MB.html

There is CS pin to set current level.
However in my PCB there are more then one resitor connected to CS pin. So I cant find it. help.

RJSV:
Wild Guess; (before I go read the spec).
   I'm thinking that could be SEVERAL separate resistor loads, for controlling one at a time.
Such as for selection between Dim, Medium, and Bright.  In that case you would likely observe a separate surface mount transistor for each resistor,...with only one of them selected at a time.

   Maybe try (power off) measure the resistances; my guess would be something like:
   (R1) at 500 ohm (dim)
   (R2) at 330 ohm (medium)
   (R3) at 100 ohm ((brightest)

If you trace the circuit, it consists of R1, R2, R13, R14, R15, R16 and D2 and seems to be connected back to the IC through R13. I understand smile's confusion!

The light has only one mode, not 3. So Why all the resitors?

Here is the other side of PCB

I wish I could help, but that circuit makes zero sense! I'm waiting for someone to come along and explain it myself.
