7.3.2 PWM Dimming

The LP5815 supports 8-bit PWM dimming with 23kHz frequency in both manual mode and autonomous animation mode. The device integrates an internal 6MHz oscillator to generate the PWM clock.

  • Manual Mode: When OUT0_AUTO_EN, OUT1_AUTO_EN, OUT2_AUTO_EN bit in DEV_CONFIG3 register is set as 0. The output PWM value of each channel is controlled by OUT0_MANUAL_PWM, OUT1_MANUAL_PWM, OUT2_MANUAL_PWM separately. In manual mode, if OUT0_FADE_EN, OUT1_FADE_EN, OUT2_FADE_EN bit in DEV_CONFIG2 register is set as 0, the output PWM value updates immeditaly to the latest received PWM set value. If OUT0_FADE_EN, OUT1_FADE_EN, OUT2_FADE_EN bit in DEV_CONFIG2 register is set as 1, the fade in or out function is enabled, the output PWM ramps up or down smoothly to the latest received PWM value within the time defined by OUT_FADE_TIME automatically.
  • Autonomous Animation Mode: When OUT0_AUTO_EN, OUT1_AUTO_EN, OUT2_AUTO_EN bit in DEV_CONFIG3 register is set as 1. The PWM output value of each channel is controlled by the autonomous animation pattern PWM value. Refer to the Autonomous Animation Control for detailed description.

The LP5815 allows users to configure the dimming scale as exponential curve or linear curve for each channel separately through the OUT0_EXP_EN, OUT1_EXP_EN, OUT2_EXP_EN in DEV_CONFIG3 register. A human-eye-friendly visual performance can be achieved by using the internal exponential scale. The linear scale has great linearity between PWM duty cycle and PWM setting value, which provides flexible approach for external controlled gamma correction algorithm. The 8-bit linear and exponential curves are shown as Figure 7-2.
