The LEDs in this example need 70mA to effectively backlight the LCD panel,
but the Ch.1 LEDs have a higher VF than Ch. 2, requiring 35V to get 70mA.

in the AAT2403 set to 100mA, 80% DOT Correction (80mA) and 50% Gray Scale, No Delay.
While all CS are OFF, the VOUT level of the AAT2404 is at the OVP level. While all CS are ON,
the VOUT level of the AAT2404 is regulated to the voltage required for the LEDs to sink 80mA.

Startup
During startup, since LED strings are not yet turned on, the CSFB voltage is at 0V, so the boost converter will start
stepping up VLED. In the case of the AAT2404, the startup voltage soft starts to 90% of the OVP voltage. This provides
enough voltage level for VLED when the first LED string turns on. The boost converter will not step up full VLED until
the CSFB voltage is below the reference (dropout) voltage.
