Description
The LT®8500 is a pulse width modulation (PWM) genera-
tor with 48 independent channels. Each channel has an
individually adjustable 12-bit (4096-step) PWM register
and a 6-bit (64-step) ±50% correction register. All controls
are programmable via a simple serial data interface. Three
banks of 16-channels each can be configured such that
they operate 120° out-of-phase with each other.
The LT8500 features two diagnostic information flags:
synchronization error and open LED. The flags are sent,
with additional state information, on the serial data interface
during status read back. The 50MHz cascadable serial data
interface includes buffering and skew-balancing, making
the chip suitable for PWM intensive applications such
as large screen LCD dynamic backlighting and mono-,
multi- and full-color LED displays. The LT8500 is also
ideally suited to control three LT3595A LED drivers.
