PRODUCTION DATA.
The device is a 48-channel, constant sink current, LED driver. This device is typically connected in series to drive many LED lamps with only a few controller ports. Output current control data and on or off control data can be written from the SIN input pin. The on or off timing can be controlled by the BLANK signal. Also, the LED open and short error flag can be read out from the SOUT output pin.
In this application, the device VCC and LED lamp anode voltages are supplied from different power supplies.
For this design example, use the following as the input parameters.
DESIGN PARAMETER | EXAMPLE VALUE |
---|---|
VCC input voltage range | 3.0 V to 3.6 V |
LED lamp (VLED) input voltage range | Maximum LED forward voltage (VF) + 0.4 V (knee voltage) |
SIN, SCLK, LAT, and BLANK voltage range | Low level = GND, high level = VCC |
To begin the design process, a few parameters must be decided upon. The designer needs to know the following:
There are a total of three bits of MC data that set the output current of all constant-current outputs (OUTXn). Select the MC data to be greater than the target LED ramp current if the output current is reduced white balanced by the global brightness control data and write the data with other control data.
There are a total of three sets of 7-bit BC data for the red, green, and blue LED ramp. Select the BC data for the best white balance of the red, green, and blue LED ramp and write the data with other control data.
There are a total of 48 bits of on or off data for the on or off control of each output. Select the on or off data of the LED lamp on or off status control and write the data.
There are a total of 8 bits of control data to set the function mode for the status information data (SID) load control, LOD voltage setting, LSD voltage setting, and power save mode (PSM) explained in the Device Functional Modes section. Write the 8-bit control data for the appropriate operation of the display system with MC and BC data as the control data.
All constant-current outputs are controlled by the BLANK pin logic level. When BLANK is GND, all constant-current outputs are turned on except that the output is set to 0 in the 48-bit output on-off data latch. When BLANK is VCC, all outputs are forced off. The LED lamp grayscale can be controlled by the BLANK low pulse duration.
One LED connected to each output. BLANK low pulse duration = 40 ns.
