PRODUCTION DATA
The DLPA3000 contains circuitry to sequentially control the three color-LEDs (red, green and blue). This circuitry consists of three NMOS switches, the actual strobe decoder, and the LED current control (Figure 8-7). The NMOS switches are connected to the cathode terminals of the external LED package and turn on and off the currents through the LEDs.
The NMOS FETs P, Q, and R are controlled by the CH_SEL_0 and CH_SEL_1 pins. CH_SEL[1:0] typically receive a rotating code switching from RED to GREEN to BLUE and then back to RED. The relation between CH_SEL[0:1] and which switch is closed is indicated in Table 8-1.
PINS CH_SEL[1:0] | SWITCH | IDAC REGISTER | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
P | Q | R | ||
00 | Open | Open | Open | N/A |
01 | Closed | Open | Open | SW1_IDAC[9:0] |
10 | Open | Closed | Open | SW2_IDAC[9:0] |
11 | Open | Open | Closed | SW3_IDAC[9:0] |
Besides enabling one of the switches, CH_SEL[1:0] also selects a 10-bit current setting for the control IDAC that is used as the set current for the LED. This set current together with the measured current through RLIM is used to control the illumination driver to the appropriate VLED. The current through the 3 LEDs can be set independently by registers SW1_IDAC to SW3_IDAC, 0x03 to 0x08 (Table 8-1).
Each current level can be set from off to 150mV/RLIM in 1023 steps:
The maximum current for RLIM= 25 mΩ is thus 6 A.
