8 Detailed Description

8.1 Overview

The LP503x device is a 30- or 36-channel constant-current-sink LED driver. The LP503x device includes all

necessary power rails, an on-chip oscillator, and a two-wire serial I2C interface. The maximum constant-current

value of all channels is set by a single external resistor. Two hardware address pins allow up to four devices on

the same bus. An automatic power-saving mode is implemented to keep the total current consumption under 10

µA, which makes the LP503x device a potential choice for battery-powered end-equipment.

The LP503x device is optimized for RGB LEDs regarding both live effects and software efforts. The LP503x

device controls each LED output with 12-bit PWM resolution at 29-kHz switching frequency, which helps achieve

a smooth dimming effect and eliminates audible noise. The independent color-mixing and intensity-control

registers make the software coding straightforward. When targeting a fade-in, fade-out type breathing effect, the

global RGB bank control reduces the microcontroller loading significantly. The LP503x device also implements a

PWM phase-shifting function to help reduce the input power budget when LEDs turn on simultaneously.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Each Channel PWM Control

Most traditional LED drivers are designed for the single-color LEDs, in which the high resolution PWM generator

is used for intensity control only. However, for RGB LEDs, both the color mixing and intensity control should be

addressed to achieve the target effect. With the traditional solution, the users must handle the color mixing and

intensity control simultaneously with a single PWM register. Several undesired effects occur: the limited dimming

steps, the complex software design, and the color distortion when using a logarithmic scale control.
