9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The device is a 3-channel, constant sink current, LED driver. This device can be connected in series to drive many LED lamps with only a few controller ports. Output current control data and PWM control data can be written from the SIN input terminal. The PWM timing reference clock can be supplied from the internal oscillation.

9.2 Typical Application

9.2.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use Table 4 as the input parameters.

Table 4. Design Parameters

DESIGN PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
VCC Input Voltage Range 3 V to 5.5 V
LED Lamp (VLED) Input Voltage Range 21 V Maximum
SDI Voltage Range Low Level = GND, High Level = VCC

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.2.1 Define Basic Parameters

To begin the design process, a few parameters must be decided:

  • Maximum output constant-current value for each color LED lamp
  • Maximum LED forward voltage (Vf) and Maximum VLED
  • Total LEDs and Cascaded IC Number

9.2.2.2 Grayscale (GS) Data

32-bit GS data packets are sent through single-wire interface for the PWM control of three output channels. Select the GS data of each LED lamp and write the GS data to the register following the signal timing.

9.2.3 Application Curve

9.4 Do's and Don'ts

When the connector pin of the device application printed-circuit-board (PCB) is connected or disconnected to other PCBs, the power must be turned off to avoid device malfunction or failure. Furthermore, designing the connector GND pin to be longer than other pins (as shown in Figure 25) is preferable. This arrangement allows the GND line to either be connected first or disconnected last, which is imperative for proper device function.
