Detect resistance R2, its one end is connected with the negative terminal of LED string, other end ground connection.

Its principle is: the electric current flowing through LED string is set to I, and its size meets: I=V
r2/ R2, wherein V
r2for detecting the pressure drop at
resistance R2 two ends, due to R2 one end ground connection, one end is connected to the negative terminal of LED string, and Voltage Feedback pin
is also connected to the negative terminal of LED string, therefore V
r2=V
fB, V
fBfor the voltage that constant voltage IC exports, because its
