· C1, R1 time constant :
The response time can be varied by varying the C1, R1 time constant (mainly the C1 value).
When the C1, R1 time constant is larger :
.................. The response time (attack time and release time) is made slower.
When the C1, R1 time constant is smaller :
.................. The response time (attack time and release time) is made faster.
· Considerations relative to Pd max of the package :
Due to the constant current ILED, most of the power consumed by the circuits is consumed within the IC.
When lighting the five LEDs continuously for a prolonged length of time, make sure that VCC does not exceed :
LB1403N, 1413N, 1443N VCC=9V
LB1423N, 1433N VCC=14V
When using a higher power supply voltage, insert a resistor in series with the LEDs to restrain the power consumed
within the IC package.
