  applications, especially in LED lighting and high capacity battery
  and supercapacitor chargers challenges power supply designers to
  keep pace with the increasingly complicated interplay of current and
  voltage control loops. A switch-mode converter designed specifically
  for CC-CV offers a clear advantage,
  especially when the supply has limited
  power, or its power is allocated
  among several competing loads. The LTC4155 is a monolithic switching battery charger that efficiently delivers
  3.5A charge current in a compact PCB footprint. See page 13.

  design features LED Controller with Dual Current Regulation Loops Detects
  Faulty LEDs, Provides 100:1 Analog Dimming
  Xin (Shin) Qi The LT3796-1 is a switching controller designed to
  regulate a constant current or constant voltage at the
  output—necessary requirements for driving LEDs. It uniquely
  features two independent current sense amplifiers, and its
  high side PMOS disconnect switch driver, which can be
  operated either in combination with the switching regulator
  using the PWM pin or independently using the TGEN pin.
  These features allow the LT3796-1
  to satisfy the needs of some specific
  LED applications. For instance, in high
  reliability lighting, the controller can be
  configured to drive two LED strings in
  parallel so that it is possible to detect a
  single faulty LED in either string using the
  other as a reference. Or, for applications VIN
  8V TO 20V requiring accurate analog dimming,
  the two current sense amplifiers can be
  scaled to regulate the LED current at two
  ranges, high and low, thereby extending the analog dimming capability of a
  high power LED driver to 100:1, a tenfold
  improvement over what is typically available using a single current control loop. …
