MP24833-A to control a heating element

Hi all,

I was wondering, are there reasons to avoid using an MP24833-A led driver to control a heating element (a simple resistor)?
The resistor is ~23 ohm and we would need to pass up to 0.5 A.
I wouldn’t use this chip for this job in a new design but I have found myself with a heating element that needs a controller in a system that has an unused MP24833-A circuit.

Hello @stefanos.ioakeimidis,

Welcome to MPS forums. What is the controller in the system that has MP24833-A circuit? Can you share the schematic of the circuit?
