it and forget it." With its high-speed serial interface
(up to 1MHz data rate), the input sink current can be
changed successively to brighten or dim LEDs, giv-
ing the users real-time control of LED brightness.
Because the inputs D1 to D3 are true independent
constant current sinks, the voltage observed on any
single given input will be determined by the actual
forward voltage (VF) for the LED being driven.
S2Cwire serial digital input. The interface relies on
the number of rising edges of the EN/SET pin to load
the registers. S2Cwire latches data after the EN/SET
pin has been held high for time TLAT. The interface
records rising edges of the EN/SET pin and decodes
them into 16 different states, as indicated in Table 1.
There are four brightness levels. To further optimize
power efficiency, the device also offers four low-cur-
rent levels for dim LED operation (Data 13-16). At
the lowest current setting, the internal supply current
reduces to only 80µA typical.

The interface can be clocked at speeds up to 1MHz,
such that intermediate states are not visible. The
first rising edge of EN/SET enables the IC and ini-
tially sets the output LED current to 20mA. Once the
final clock cycle is input for the desired brightness
level, the EN/SET pin is held high to maintain the
device output current at the programmed level. The
device is disabled 500µs (TOFF) after the EN/SET
pin transitions to a logic low state.

The EN/SET timing is designed to accommodate a
wide range of data rates. After the first rising edge of
EN/SET, the charge pump is enabled and reaches
full capacity after the soft-start time (TSS). During the
soft-start time, multiple clock pulses may be entered
on the EN/SET pin to set the final output current level
with a single burst of clocks. The current outputs
remain constant as long as EN/SET remains in a
logic high state. The current outputs are switched off
after EN/SET has remained in a low state for at least
the TOFF timeout period; then, the backlight charge
pump enters shutdown mode and draws less than
1µA from VIN. Data are reset to 0 during shutdown.
