8.1 Overview

The LP5812 is a 4 × 3 matrix RGB LED driver with autonomous animation engine control. Time-cross-multiplexing (TCM) scheme can support up to 4×3 matrix for 12 LEDs or 4 RGB LEDs, by ¼ multiplexing ratio of the scan switches.

The LP5812 has ultra-low operation current at active mode, consuming about 0.4 mA when LED maximum current setting is 25.5 mA. If all LEDs are turned off, the device will enter standby state to reduce power consumption with data retained. When 'chip_enable' bit setting is 0, initial state is entered with minimum power consumption to save power.

The LP5812 supports both analog dimming and PWM dimming. In analog dimming, the output current of each LED can be adjusted with 256 steps. In PWM dimming, the integrated 8-bit configurable PWM generator enables smooth brightness dimming control. Optional exponential PWM dimming can be activated for individual LED to achieve a human-eye-friendly visual performance.

The LP5812 integrates autonomous animation engine, with no need for brightness control commands from controller. Each LED has an individual animation engine which can be configured through the related registers. The device can generate a 6 MHz clock signal, which synchronizes the lighting effects among multiple devices.

The LP5812 has 4 different material versions with different I2C chip address. Up to 4 LP581x devices can be connected to the same I2C bus and controlled individually. The LP5812 materials and corresponding chip addresses are shown in Section 4.
