Constant Current Sink Outputs LED1, LED2, LED3, LED4
LP5527 has four independent backlight/keypad LED drivers.
All the drivers are regulated constant current sinks. LED
currents are controlled by 8-bit current mode DACs. Every
driver can be controlled in two ways:
1.
Brightness control with constant current drivers
2.
Direct ON/OFF control. The current is pre-set by 8-bit
current mode DAC.
In addition, LED1 driver can be synchronized to audio input
signal amplitude.
By using brightness control user can set brightness of every
single LED by using 8-bit brightness control registers. If
analog audio is available on system the user can use audio
synchronization for synchronizing LED1 to the music. Direct
ON/OFF control is mainly for switching LEDs on and off.
LED Control Register (00 hex) has control bits for direct
on/off control of all the LEDs. Note that the LEDs have to be
turned on in order to control them with audio synchronization
(LED1 only) or brightness control.
The brightness is programmed as described in the following.
I
LED
= n x (15 mA / 255)
where:
n = LED[7:0] (8-bit)
step = 15 mA / 255
≈
0.05882 mA
For example if 13.2 mA is required for driver current:
n = 13.2 mA / (15 mA / 255)
≈
224
224 = 1110 0000, E0 hex
