  • Description

    The LP5521 is a three channel LED driver designed to produce variety of lighting effects for mobile devices. High efficiency charge pump enables LED driving over full Li-Ion battery voltage range. The device has a program memory for creating variety of lighting sequences. When program memory has been loaded, LP5521 can operate independently without processor control.

    LP5521 maintains excellent efficiency over a wide operating range by automatically selecting proper charge pump gain based on LED forward voltage requirements. LP5521 is able to automatically enter power-save mode, when LED outputs are not active and thus lowering current consumption.

    Three independent LED channels have accurate programmable current sources and PWM control. Each channel has program memory for creating desired lighting sequences with PWM control.

    LP5521 has a flexible digital interface. Trigger I/O and 32 kHz clock input allow synchronization between multiple devices. Interrupt output can be used to notify processor, when LED sequence has ended. LP5521 has four pin selectable I 2C addresses. This allows connecting up to four parallel devices in one I 2C bus. GPO and INT pins can be used as a digital control pin for other devices.

    LP5521 requires only four small and low cost ceramic capacitors.

    LP5521 is available in tiny 2.1x1.7x0.6 mm microSMD-20 package and in 4.0x5.0x0.8 mm bumped LLP-24 package.

    Comprehensive application tools are available, including command compiler for easy LED sequence programming.

    Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
