Will the NCL30160 work properly ift there is only a single configuration of inductor and ROT-Resistor for various LED loads (1-8 LEDs). What are the main disadvantages then? Efficiency reduction?
Yes, the NCL30160 it will work with various output voltage variations. The inductor value should be chosen such that the peak output current value does not exceed the rated saturation current of the inductor. Efficiency will vary depends on the V input and V out voltage difference as you can see in our Constant-Current Buck Regulator datasheet figures 9-11.
