AL5958Q Functional Descriptions (continued) Undervoltage Lockout The AL5958Q has two power pins VGB and VR, the power supply of digital control circuit is only connected to VGB pin; therefore, only the VGB pin has UVLO function. When VGB < 2.35V, AL5958Q will automatic reset. For single color LED application, VGB and VR can be tied together. Grayscale Clock (GCK) Watchdog Timer The AL5958Q features Grayscale Clock Watchdog Timer. If the Grayscale Clock stays HIGH or LOW for more than 2ms (typ) at VGB = 3.8V, AL5958Q will automatically reset. Constant-Current Output The current characteristics could maintain invariable in the influence of loading voltage. Therefore, the AL5958Q could minimize the interference of different LED forward voltages and produce the constant current. The following figures illustrate the suitable output voltage should be determined in order to keep an excellent performance. IV-Curve @ VLED(VR/VGB) = 3.1V Iout (mA) VLED - Vout (V)

By this technique, the frame refresh rate could be improved efficiently by many times without increasing the frequency of grayscale clock to prevent EMI interference. Grayscale Clock (GCK) Multiplier GCK IOUT Single-edge Grayscale Clock (R CMD1[0]=0) GCK IOUT Double-edge Grayscale Clock (R CMD1[0]=1)) AL5958Q provides a Grayscale Clock Multiplier function by setting RCMD 1[0]. When RCMD1[0]=0, constant current outputs are triggered only at the rising edge of GCKs. When RCMD1[0]=1, constant current outputs are triggered both at the rising edge and falling edge of GCKs. By this approach, the electromagnetic interference would be decreased substantially due to slow grayscale clocks. Automatic Black Frame Insertion In the process of scan switching, constant current outputs have to be turned off to avoid that LEDs of the preceding and the present scanning lines are turned on simultaneously. AL5958Q supports a specific technique of automatic black frame insertion to solve this problem. Last Scan Line Ghost Image Abatement The last scan line ghost image abatment is an optional instruction designed to eliminate ghosting of multiplexed LED modules due to parasitic capacitors on the switching MOS pins.

AL5958Q Functional Descriptions (continued) Next Scan Line Ghost Image Abatement The next scan line ghost image abatment is an optional instruction designed to eliminate ghosting of multiplexed LED modules due to parasitic capacitors on the output pins. Power Dissipation When one AL5958Q is operating, the practical power dissipation can be determined by the following equation: PD = (VR - Vf_RLED) * Iout_R * 16 * turn-on time efficiency + (VGB - Vf_GLED) * Iout_G * 16 * turn-on time efficiency + (VGB - Vf_BLED) * Iout_B * 16 * turn-on time efficiency + VR * IVR_all + VGB * IVGB_all + [ (Iout_R + Iout_G + Iout_B) * K ]^2 * 0.4 * turn-on time efficiency (K = the RGB pixel number connected to one MOS) (IVR_all / IVGB_all means the static + dynamic supply current of VR / VGB, not only the static supply current.) In secure operating conditions, the power consumption of an integrated chip should be less than the maximum permissible power dissipation which is determined by the package types and ambient temperature. The formula for maximum power dissipation is described as follows: PD (max) = Tj(max)(°C)– Ta(°C) Rth(j-a)(°C/Watt) The PD (max) declines as the ambient temperature raises. Therefore, suitable operating conditions should be designed with caution according to the chosen package and the ambient temperature. The following figure illustrates the relation between the maximum power dissi pation and the ambient temperature. 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 Power dissipation PD (W) Ambient Temperature Ta (oC) Maximum Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature W-QFN9090-76/SWP (Type A1)
