PRODUCTION DATA.
The device is a 48-channel, constant sink current, LED driver. This device is typically connected in series to drive many LED lamps with only a few controller ports. Output current control data and PWM control data can be written from the SIN input terminal. The PWM timing reference clock can be supplied from the GSCLK input terminal. Also, the LED open and short error flag can be read out from the SOUT output terminal. Furthermore, the device maximum GSCLK clock frequency is 33 MHz and can reduce flickering discernable by the human eye.
In this application, the device VCC and LED lamp anode voltages are supplied from different power supplies.
For this design example, use the following as the input parameters.
DESIGN PARAMETER | EXAMPLE VALUE |
---|---|
VCC input voltage range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V |
LED lamp (VLED) input voltage range | Maximum LED forward voltage (VF) + 0.3 V (knee voltage) |
SIN, SCLK, LAT, and GSCLK voltage range | Low level = GND, High level = VCC |
To begin the design process, a few parameters must be decided upon. The designer needs to know the following:
There are a total of nine bits of MC data for the red, green, and blue LED ramp. Select the MC data to be greater than each LED ramp current and write the data with other control data.
There are a total of three sets of 7-bit BC data for the red, green, and blue LED ramp. Select the BC data for the best white balance of the red, green, and blue LED ramp and write the data with other control data.
There are a total of 48 sets of 7-bit DC data for each current adjustment. Select the DC data for the best uniformity of each color LED ramp and write the data with other control data.
There are a total of 48 sets of 16-bit GS data for the PWM control of each output. Select the GS data of the LED ramp intensity and color control and write the data with other GS data.
There are five bits control data to set the function mode for the auto display repeat, display timing reset, auto data refresh, ES-PWM, and LSD functions explained in the Device Functional Modes section. Write the 5-bit control data for the appropriate operation of the display system with MC, BC, and DC data as the control data.
