FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LP3950 is a color LED driver with a built-in audio
synchronization feature for any analog audio input
such as polyphonic ring tones and MP3 music. LEDs
can be synchronized to an audio signal with two
methods - amplitude and frequency. Also several fine
tuning options are available for differentiation
purposes. The chip also has an unique AGC
(Automatic Gain Control) feature which tracks the
input signal level and automatically adjusts the gain
to an optimal value.

Audio Synchronization for Color LEDs with
Two Modes: Amplitude and Frequency
Programmable Frequency and Amplitude
Response with Tracking Speed Control
Automatic Gain Control or Selectable Gain for
Input Signal Optimization
RGB Pattern Generator Similar to
LP3933/LP3936
Magnetic DC-DC Boost Converter with
Programmable Boost Output Voltage
Selectable SPI or I2C Compatible Interface
The LP3950 has a high efficiency magnetic DC/DC
converter with programmable output voltage and
switching frequency. The converter has high output
current capability so it is also able to drive flash LEDs
in camera phone applications.

Users. One Pin Selector for Synchronization
Mode
The LP3950 is similar to LP3933 and LP3936 in that
the color LEDs (or RGB LEDs) can also be

Space Efficient 32-Pin TLGA Package
programmed
to
generate
light
patterns
(programmable color, intensity, on/off timing, slope
and blinking cycle).
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
Cellular Phones
MP3/CD/Minidisc Players
Toys
All functions are software controllable through a SPI
or I2C compatible interface but the device also
supports one pin control for enabling predefined
(default) audio synchronization mode.
