3.1.2. Step dimming (StepDIM)

Based on the previous chapter (3.1.1.), the current setting

by resistor can be easily extended by an additional step dim-

ming function. By switching between two external resistance

values, the output current can be changed to two different

levels (i.e. one to set the nominal current to 100 % and one

to step down to 40 %). Shorting the Vset to GNDset allows

turning off the LED module while the ECG is still supplied

with mains voltage.

Possible solutions are shown in the following block diagram:
