1.1 Introduction

The LP5890 is a highly integrated, common cathode matrix LED display driver with 48 constant current sources and 16 scanning FETs. One LP5890 is capable of driving 16 × 16 RGB LED pixels, while stacking two LP5890 can drive 32 × 32 RGB LED pixels, which simplifies component placement and control. With the common cathode structure, the device supports separated power supplies for the red, green, and blue LEDs to achieve low power consumption. Furthermore, the operation power of the LP5890 is significantly reduced by ultra-low operation voltage range (Vcc down to 2.5V) and ultra-low operation current (Icc down to 3.9mA).

This user’s guide describes the LP5890 evaluation module used as a reference for engineering demonstration and evaluation. Included in this user’s guide are setup instructions, a schematic diagram, printed board (PCB) layout, and a bill of materials (BOM).
