APPLICATIONS
Display backlight driver for phones that require slider or flip
keypad functions with single or multiple LED indicators
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP5520 is a versatile single-chip, white LED backlight
driver with a user configurable I/O expander. This device fits
handset applications where the flip or slider section of the phone
requires backlighting, I/O signaling and detecting, auxiliary LED
lighting, and keypad functions. By incorporating an I2C®-
compatible serial interface and a single line interrupt, the
ADP5520 significantly reduces the total number of lines
required to interface with the baseband processor across the
hinge flex.
The ADP5520 can detect ambient light levels and adjust the
backlight brightness accordingly, resulting in extended battery
operation.
Once configured, the ADP5520 is capable of controlling the
flip/slider backlight intensity, on/off timing, dimming, and
fading without the intervention of the main processor, which
results in valuable battery power saving.
