8.2.2.2 LED Configurations

The LM3535 has a total of 8 current sinks capable of sinking 200 mA of total diode current. These 8 current sinks are configured to operate in three independently controlled lighting regions. GroupA has four dedicated current sinks, while GroupB and GroupC each have one. To add greater lighting flexibility, the LM3535 has two additional drivers (D53 and D62) that can be assigned to either GroupA or GroupB through a setting in the general purpose register.

At start-up, the default condition is four LEDs in GroupA, three LEDs in GroupB and a single LED in GroupC (NOTE: GroupC only consists of a single current sink (D1C) under any configuration). Bits 53A and 62A in the general purpose register control where current sinks D53 and D62 are assigned. By writing a 1 to the 53A or 62A bits, D53 and D62 become assigned to the GroupA lighting region. Writing a 0 to these bits assigns D53 and D62 to the GroupB lighting region. With this added flexibility, the LM3535 is capable of supporting applications requiring 4, 5, or 6 LEDs for main display lighting, while still providing additional current sinks that can be used for a wide variety of lighting functions.
