Methods of controlling multiple LED strings with C2000 microcontrollers
Methods of controlling multiple LED strings with C2000 microcontrollers: 
As more applications continue to integrate LED technology, developers face the challenge of driving greater numbers of LEDs while lowering system cost and increasing power efficiency. For systems requiring multiple strings of LEDs, TI provides two example solutions illustrating differing power stage topology designs and digital control methods. This whitepaper explores the different LED driver topologies and digital control methods available for driving multiple LED strings efficiently to reduce system cost, lower operating expenses, increase color accuracy, and improve overall reliability.

The Dangers of Rounded Numbers, Typical Specifications, and Simulations
The Dangers of Rounded Numbers, Typical Specifications, and Simulations: MAXIM Tutorial. This tutorial emphasizes the importance of designing circuits with care and thinking through all aspects of a design. All too often, engineers are led astray by a data sheet's specs, either because they have been rounded or because the engineer only kept the typical specifications in mind. With either pitfall, there can be disastrous results in a design. This document explains why relying on rounded numbers and typical specifications, and favoring simulations over physical prototypes can cause a circuit to fail.
