DESCRIPTION

The LDS8161 is a 6-channel and the LDS8141 is a 4- channel linear LED driver for WLED applications . I t includes ultra low dropout LDO current regulators at a maximum 31. 875 mA per channel in a common cathode high side driver topology. The LDS8161/LDS8141 has an average efficiency of > 80% in Li -ion battery applications. It includes three (LDS8161) or two (LDS8141) 8 -bit current setting DACs (one per bank) allowing LED currents to be programmed via an I 2C-compatible serial interface from 0 to 31.875 mA in 256 steps of 125A per step. The LDO drivers have a low dropout voltage of 50 mV typically at maximum rated current. This provides a low power/low EMI solution in Li -ion battery applications without voltage boosting and associated external capacitors and components. High temperature current de -rating insures LED reliability and provides automatic adjustment of LED current to achieve maximum specified LED brightness across the ambient temperature range . The proprietary LED-SenseTM temperature compensation algorithm directly monitors the ju nction temperature of a n LED and applies current de -rating per a user loadable LUT (look up table) in 5ºC steps. No external temperature sensing device is needed. An integrated 12 -bit PWM generator with “smooth” logarithmic con trol supports LED dimming and high temperature current de-rating. The PWM duty cycle is programmable via the I 2C serial interface from 0% to 100%. User programmed 8 -bit codes are converted to 12-bit resolution logarithmic steps of ~ 0.17 dB per step. The P WM frequency is ~280 Hz to minimize noise generation. The EN logic input functions as a chip enable. A logic HIGH applied at the EN pin allows the LDS8161/LDS8141 to respond to I 2C communications. An external serial interface address pin is available for use in multi-target applications. The device operates from 2.5V to 5.5V. The LDS8160 is available in a 3 x 3 x 0.8 mm 3 16-lead TQFN package.

A small 1 μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the V IN pin and ground near the device. The operating input voltage range is from 2.5 V to 5.5 V. EN is the enable input for the entire device . Guaranteed levels of logic high and logic low are set at 1.3 V and 0.4V respectively. When EN is initially taken high, the device becomes enabled and may communicate through I2C interface SDAT is the I2C serial data line. This is a bidirectional line allowing data to be written into and read from the four registers in the driver.. SCLK is the I2C serial clock input. SADD is I2C Serial interface Addresses tie to either GND or VIN pin to allow choice of two salve addresses GND is the ground reference for internal circuitry. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. LEDA1 –LEDC2 provide the internal regulated current source for eac h of the LED anodes. These pins enter high -impedance zero current state whenever the device is in shutdown mode. LEDC1 and LEDC2 are no connects (NC) for the LDS8141. PAD is t he exposed pad underneath the package. For best thermal performance, the tab should be soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground plane TST is a test pin used by factory only. Leave it floating (no external connection)

Characteristics subject to change without notice BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 2: LDS8161/41 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION The LDS8161 / 41 may operate in following modes: a) Normal Operation Mode b) Normal Standby Mode c) Programming Modes d) Shutdown Mode NORMAL OPERATION MODE At power-up, VIN should be in the rang e from 2.5 V to 5.5 V (max). If V IN is slow rising, EN pin should be logic LOW at least until VIN reaches a 2.5 V level. When EN is taken HIGH , a soft -start power -up sequence begins and performs an internal circuits reset that requires less than 100 µs. An i nitialization sequence then begins , taking less than 10 ms. This sequence determines the user - selected I2C slave address, loads factory programmed setting s, and conducts diagnostic s for open/shorted LEDs. At this point , the I 2C interface is ready for communication and the LDS8161/41 may be user- programmed. Upon programming completion for all required initial parameters and features ’settings, a calibration command is given by setting bit 4 of the Control Register (1Fh) HIGH. This starts the calibration sequence of the LDS8161 /41 LED- SenseTM temperature de -rating circuits and occurs simultaneous with a gradual ramp -up of LED PWM and current levels to the user programmed values.

The calibration parameters for the temperature de - rating and all customer -set parameters remain intact until the part is rese t or powered -down. Additionally, the user can re -calibrate LDS8161/41 during times when LED currents are brought to zero and thermally stabilized by programming the calibration command bit as discussed. Factory preset values (upon completion of the power - up initialization) are as follow (see Table 3): a) All LEDs are disabled and ILEDA, B, C = 0; b) WLED mode (i.e. 1 De -rating LUT ) selected and 1 PWM gene rator drives all 3 banks (8160) or 2 banks (8141). c) PWM dimming control is enabled Logarithmic Mode with reset duty cycle = 0%. d) LED-Sense TM temperature de -rating is disabled with the LUT in Logarithmic Mode for a Nichia NSSW020BT WLED; e) Soft start-up PWM ramp feature enabled; If the factory defau lt loaded de -rating curve is used as shown in Figure 7, then following T able 10 identifies the necessary registers and initialization required after the power -up or reset state to operate the LDS8161/41.

Characteristics subject to change without notice The de -rate table stored in the correction LUT is referenced to the LED Tj. R egister 49h can be used to apply the Ta -Tj temperature offset between the ambient and LED junction temperature . This can effect a +/ - shift of the de -rating curv e in the Temperature axis to reference the de-rating profile to ambient, and/or set the start of de -rating to the desired ambient temperature level to accommodate different LEDs and current/power levels. The default table will de-rate the current ~ - 9.2 dB (0.348x) from its user set low temperature maximum level over 35ºC (from the start of the de -rate temperature). For example, if the LED current is set to 30mA prior to de-rating, and de -rating begins at 55 ºC, at 85 ºC the current is de-rated to 0.348 x 30mA = 10.4mA. Register 4Ah sets the LEDs shutdown junction temperature per the T-codes provided in Table 7. When this temperature is exceeded, all of the LED current driver channels are disabled to insu re no damage to the LEDS. Add itionally, an LED OT (over temperature) status flag is set HIGH in Bit 7 of the enable channel register 03 h. If the flag is set the user can re -enable the channels by re -writing to the channel enable bits in register 03h, however the OT flag will still remain HIGH , until the device is power sequenced, reset, or placed in the shutdown mode. If a Ta -Tj offset is used other than 00h (i.e. 0 ºC) in register, 49h, than the shutdown junction temperature loaded in 4Ah should also include this offset. This insures the LED shutdown is also properly referenced to ambient level, Ta. LED Current Setting Current setting registers 00h –02h should be programmed using I 2C interface and desired LEDs should be enabled using register 03h before LEDs turn on. The standard I 2C interface procedure is use d to program ILED current (see chapter “I2C INTERFACE”). LDS8161/41 should be addressed with slave address chosen (see Table 11 for accessible slave addresses) followed by register address (00h, 01h, or 02h) and data that represent s the code for the desired LED current. Code for LED current is determined as I LED/0.125 mA in hex format, i.e. 20 mA current code = 20/0.125 = 160 (dec) = A0h. The maximum current setting is 31. 875 mA. Since the LDS8161/41 is a low drop -out LDO based linear LED driver, when usin g maximum current levels, users should select LEDs with VF < 3.3 V to maximize operation with Li-ion batteries. To turn LEDs ON/OFF register 03h should be addressed with data that represent s the desired combination of LEDs turned ON/OFF (see Table 1); i.e. if LEDC1, LEDC2, LEDA1, LEDA2 should be ON, and LEDB1, LEDB2 should be OFF, binary code that should be written into register 03h is 110011 (bin) = 33h. The LDS8161/41 allows two ways for LED current setting and dimming ; analog (static) dimming using the 8 bit current DACs, and dynamic dimming via the integrated 12 -bit digital PWM. Combining both methods allows for total dimming capability of > 16,384:1 Analog dimming u sing the current setting DACs discussed via registers 00h –02h is referred to as the static mode. Digital dimming using the internal PWM generator changes the duty cycle per the value set in register 05h and therefore adjusts the average LED current. This is referred to as dynamic mode. For dynamic mode, the LDS8161/41 integrates a digital PWM generator that operates at a frequency of ~ 285 Hz. It operates in Logarithmic Mode. The PWM generator has 12-bit resolution and can be programmed with an 8 -bit code to provide 256 internally mapped 12 -bit logarithmic duty cycle steps to adjust the dimming level The advantage of PWM dimming is s table LED color temperature / wavelength that is determined by the maximum static mode LED current value set by registers 00h –02h. The integrated PWM generator reduces the system requirement to provide a continuous pulsed waveform. To use the dynamic PWM mode for LED current setting, the maximum ILED value should first be set by current DAC registers 00h –02h as described above for static mode, and desired dimming / duty cycle can be set by register 05h. The lo garithmic operating mode provides a dimming resolution of approximately -0.17 dB per step with 0dB dimming (i.e. 100% duty cycle) at the 256th step (i.e. FFh), and 0% duty cycle (~ -80 dB dimming) at 00h. LED-SenseTM High Temperature Current De-rating The LDS8161/41 integrates the IXYS LED-SenseTM temperature measurement and high temperature current de -rating algorithm to insure LED reliability and operating lifetimes. LED current is de -rated via reductions in PWM duty cycle to meet LED vendor power dissi pation vs. LED junction temperature specifications. User programmable de-rating adjustments are stored in a correction LUT comprised of eight 8 -bit registers from 56h to 5Dh. Each register stores a 4 -bit

Characteristics subject to change without notice Unused LED Channels For applications with less than six (8161) or four (8141) LEDs, the unused LED channels can be disabled via the I2C interface by addressing register 03h with data that represent s the desired combination of LEDs turned ON/OFF (see Table 1). The LDS8161/41 unused LED outputs can be left open. Parallel-Connected LED Channels for Higher Current LEDs In higher power LED applications requiring more than 31.875 mA DC current, LED driver channels can be connected in parallel. For example, ½ watt, 150 mA LEDs can be driven with the LDS8161 by paralleling all 6 channels with 25 mA per channel. Likewise , the LDS8141 can drive up to 127.5 mA by connecting all 4 channels in parallel at the maximum 31.875 mA per channel. LED short/open protection The LDS8161/41 runs a LED short /open diagnostic routine upon the power up sequence. It detects both LED pins shorte d to ground and LED pins that are open or shorted to VIN (fault conditions). The results for short to GND detection are stored in Diagnostics Register 1Ch. Bit s from bit 5 to bit 0 indicate a short status as bit = 1 for LEDC2 - LEDA1 respectively. A short to GND is detected, if the measured LED pin voltage is less than ~ 0.14 V independent of the programmed LED current. Every channel, detected as shorted, is disabled Test r esults for open or short to V IN LED pins are stored in Diagnostics Register 1Dh, Bits from bit 5 to bit 0 represent LEDC2 - LEDA1 respectively with bit = 1 indicates fault condition at this particular LED pin. An open LED pin fau lt causes no harm in the LDS8161/41 or the LED as the high side driver has no current path from VIN or GND. Therefore, the fault detection status indicate s only in the 1Dh diagnostic register, and no further action is required. In the case of an LED directly shorted to V IN, the full VIN voltage will be connected to the LED and current can flow independent of the LDS8161/41 LED driver circuit directly to GND. The LDS8161/41 will detect the fault and indicate the status in Register 1Dh, however further action needs taken at the system level to shutdown V IN power to prevent possible damage to the LED. The combined ser ies resistance of the LED (typically ~ 10 Ω or more) and additional board series resistance will result in current limit ing but not sufficient to insure no damage to low power LEDs. Besides the power -up diagnostic sequence, the user can re-initiate a diagn ostic command at any time by setting bit 5 of the Digital Test Modes Register, 19h, to HIGH. The LDS8161/41 restores LED current to programmed value at channels with detected shorts to GND after the fault condition is removed. Over-Temperature Protection If the die temperature exceeds +150°C, the driver will enter shutdown mode. The LDS8161/4 1 requires restart after die temperature falls below 130°C. LED Selection If the power source is a Li-ion battery, LEDs with VF = 1.9 V - 3.3 V are recommended to achi eve highest efficiency performance and extended operation on a single battery charge. External Components The driver requires one external 1 µF ceramic capa - citors (CIN) X5R or X7R type. CONFIGURATION MODES The LDS8161/41 allows the option to choose special operating modes overwriting content of Configuration Register 1Eh (see Table 2). Bit 1 allows bypass soft start / ramp down if fast raising/falling LED current required. Bit 2 allows disable LED temperature compensation if desired. The LDS8161/41 also p rovides the option for using an external remote temperature-sensing diode device such as a 2N3904. To use this option the diode anode should be connected to channel LEDA1. The cathode connected to GND. In this case, channel LEDA1 should be disabled via reg ister 03h and it cannot operate as an LED current source. Bits 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 of the Configuration Register 1Eh are for factory use only and should be set to 0 or the user should use the power-on-reset values.

Characteristics subject to change without notice STANDBY MODES The LDS8161/41 has a “soft” standby or sleep mode, which the customer may set by I 2C interface addressing register 1Fh with bit 6 = 1 (see Table 4). In the Standby Mode, the I2C interface remains active and all registers retain their programmed information. In Standby Mode the LED drivers and internal clock are powered off; however , internal regulators and reference circuits remain active to insure power to the digital sections to hold register values and maintain I2C interface communications. This results in standby current ~ 125 µA typical. For this mode, the EN pin should be logic HIGH with signal level from 1.3 to V IN voltage. SHUTDOWN MODE To set LDS8161/41 into the shutdown mode, the EN pin should be logic low more than 10 ms. The LDS8161/41 shutdown current is less than 1 µA. The LDS8161/41 wakes up from shutdown mode with factory-preset default data. To preserve customer - programmed data, use Normal standby mode. PROGRAMMING MODES The L DS8161/41 is fac tory preprogrammed with a default temperature de-rating LUT that works with the Nichia NSSW020BT WLEDs or equivalent. However, specific LEDs and other user system conditions may require user programming of the temperature compensation LUTs and other LED specific parameters. After initialization and user programming the user should conduct a n I C cal ibration sequence command by writing Bit 4 = 1 in the Control register 1Fh. This conducts a real time calibration of the initial starting temperature and actual LED parameters. Upon completion, Bit 4 will be internally rese t to 0, and the LDS8161/41 is ready for use.
