2 LEDs - High Side Drive (Notes 11, 12 &13)
Notes:
11. These curves have been limited at larger input voltages due to power dissipation.
12. Lower input voltage range is limited by the LED chain voltage
13. The AL5812 has its VCC pin connected to its LED pin, which are connected to the positive input supply voltage. RSET is connected to AL5812 GND
pin, which is connected to the anode of the LED chain. This creates a high side driver of the LED chain. See Figure 15.
