ZHCSE88A October 2015 – February 2023 DLPA3005
PRODUCTION DATA
The DLPA3005 can be supplied from an adapter. The DLPA3005 use several warning and detection levels, as indicated in the previous paragraphs, to prevent system damage in case the supply voltage becomes too low or even interrupted.
Interruption of the supply voltage occurs when, for example, the adapter is switched to another mains outlet. A change of supply voltage from, for example, 20 V to 8 V can occur, and thus the OVP level (which is ratio metric, see GUID-A0CB354B-A945-4987-ACE9-35416EF19789.html#GUID-A0CB354B-A945-4987-ACE9-35416EF19789) could become lower than VLED. An OVP fault will be triggered and the system switches off.
The Auto_LED_Turn_Off functionality can be used to prevent the system from turning off in these circumstances. This function disables the LEDs when the supply voltage drops below LED_AUTO_OFF_LEVEL. When the Auto_LED_Turn_Off functionality is enabled (reg 0x01h), once a supply voltage drop is detected to below LED_AUTO_OFF_LEVEL, the LEDs will be switched off and the system should start sending lower current levels to have a lower VLED. After start using lower currents, the LEDs can be switched on again by disabling AUTO_LED_TURN_OFF function. As a result the system can continue working at the lower supply voltage using a lower intensity. Once the mains adapter is plugged in again, the Auto_LED_Turn_Off functionality can be enabled again. Now the LED currents can be restored to their original levels from before the supply voltage drop.
