PRODUCTION DATA.
DLPA2000 provides time-sequential circuitry to drive three LEDs with independent current control. A system based on a common anode LED configuration is shown in Figure 9 and consists of a buck-boost converter, which provides the voltage to drive the LEDs, three switches connected to the cathodes of the LEDs, an RLIM resistor used to sense the LED current, and a current DAC to control the LED current. The voltage measured at the pin V(RLIM_K) is used by the regulator loop.
The STROBE DECODER controls the switch positions as described in the previous section (RGB Strobe Decoder). With all switches in the open position, the buck-boost output assumes an output voltage of 3.5 V.
For a common-anode RGB LED configuration, the buck-boost output voltage (VLED) assumes a value such that the voltage drop across the sense resistor equals:
The exact value of VLED depends on the current setting and the voltage drop across the LED but is limited to 5.4 V. When the STROBE decoder switches from SW4 to SW5, the buck-boost assumes a new output voltage such that the sense voltage equals:
The relationship between VIN, VLED, and MAX ILED is shown in Figure 3.
