JAJSTC8A February 2024 – April 2024 LP5867
PRODUCTION DATA
The LP5867 includes LED short detection (LSD) for the fault caused by any shorted LED. Threshold for channel short is (VLED – 1) V typical. LED short detection only performed when PWM ≥ 25 (Mode 1 and Mode 2) or PWM ≥ 6400 (Mode 3) and voltage on CSn is detected higher than short threshold for continuously 4 sub-periods. As there is parasitic capacitance for the current sink, to make sure the LSD result is correct, setting the LED current higher than 0.5mA is recommended.
The image below shows the detection circuit of LSD function. When short fault is detected, 'Global_LSD bit' in Fault_state register is set to 1 and detailed fault state for every channel are also monitored in register Dot_lsdx (x = 0, 1, … , 20). All short fault indicator bits can be cleared by setting LSD_clear = 0Fh after the short condition is removed.
LSD removal function can be enabled by setting 'LSD_removal' bit in Dev_config2 register to 1. This function turns off the upside deghosting function of the scan line where short LED is included.
