LTC3220/LTC3220-1
360mA Universal
18-Channel LED Driver
Description
The LTC®3220/LTC3220-1 are highly integrated multi-
display LED drivers. These parts contain a high efficiency,
low noise charge pump to provide power to up to eighteen
universal LED current sources. The LTC3220/LTC3220-1
require only five small ceramic capacitors to form a
complete LED power supply and current controller.
The LED currents are set by an internal precision current
reference. Independent dimming, on/off, blinking and
gradation control for all universal current sources are
achieved via the I2C serial interface. 6-bit linear DACs are
available to adjust brightness levels independently for each
universal LED current source.
The LTC3220/LTC3220-1 charge pump optimizes efficiency
based on the voltage across the LED current sources. The
part powers up in 1x mode and will automatically switch
to boost mode whenever any enabled LED current source
begins to enter dropout. The first dropout switches the
parts into 1.5x mode and a subsequent dropout switches
the LTC3220/LTC3220-1 into 2x mode. The parts reset to
1x mode whenever a data bit is updated via the I2C port.
