7.3.2 Analog Dimming

The current gain of each LED can be controlled by 2 methods to achieve analog dimming in the LP5812.

  • Global 1-bit Maximum Current (MC) control for all LEDs without external resistor
  • Individual 8-bit Dot Current (DC) control for each LED

The maximum output current IOUT_max of each current sink can be programmed by the 1-bit max_current. The default value of max_current is 0h, which means the LED maximum current is set to 25.5mA in default.

Table 7-2 Maximum Current (MC) Bit Setting
1 bit Maximum Current (MC) IOUT_MAX (mA)
Binary Decimal
0 (default) 0 (default) 25.5 (default)
1 1 51

The LP5812 can individually adjust the peak current of each LED by using Dot Current (DC) function. The brightness deviation among the LED bins can be miminized, to achieve uniform display performance. The current is adjusted with 256 steps from 0 to 100% of IOUT_MAX., which is programmed in an 8-bit register whose default value is 80h.

1111 1101 253 99.2%
1111 1110 254 99.6%
1111 1111 255 100%

By configuring the MC and DC, the peak current of each current sink can be calculated as Equation 3:

Equation 3. I O U T   ( m A ) = I O U T _ m a x × D C 255

The average current of each LED in TCM drive mode and mix drive mode is shown as Equation 4:

Equation 4. I A V E   ( m A ) = I O U T N × D C 255 × D P W M

  • N is the total scan number setting.
  • DPWM is the PWM duty.
