electrical schematic EVALHVLED805 2/9 doc id 18457 rev 1 1 electrical schematic figure 1. EVALHVLED805 electrical schematic 1.1 efficiency measurement figure 2. efficiency measurement with one, two or three leds the efficiency is always higher than 70 % when two or three leds are connected, whereas it drops with one led. the reason is that at low output voltage, th e auxiliary voltage is not able to supply the ic and the internal hv current generator self supplies the vcc pin, thus dissipating a power proportional to vin. the output current has been measured with two or three leds which obtain an accuracy always below 5 %.
