Electronic devices are becoming smarter, requiring
to use larger quantity of LEDs for animation and indication purposes. A high performance LED
matrix driver is required to improve user experience with small solution size.
The LP586x devices are a family of high performance LED matrix drivers. The device
integrates 18 constant current sinks with N (N = 1/2/4/6/8/11) switching MOSFETs to support
N × 18 LED dots or N × 6 RGB LEDs. The LP5868 integrates eight MOSFETs for up to 144 LED
dots or 48 RGB LEDs.
The LP5868 supports both analog dimming and PWM
dimming methods. For analog dimming, each LED dot can be adjusted with 256 steps. For PWM
dimming, the integrated 8-bit or 16-bit configurable PWM generators enable smooth and
audible-noise-free dimming control. Each LED dot can also be arbitrarily mapped into 8-bit
group PWM to achieve dimming control together.
The LP5868 device implements full addressable SRAM
to minimize the data traffic. The ghost-cancellation circuitry is integrated to eliminate
both upside and downside ghosting. The LP5868 also supports LED open and short detection
functions. Both 1-MHz (maximum) I2C and 12-MHz (maximum) SPI are available in
LP5868.
