Brief Description

The KTD2061/58/59/60 are fully programmable current

regulators for up to 12 RGB LED modules (36 LEDs

total). The devices are ideally powered from a supply

rail in the 3V to 5V nominal range. Three 4-wire buses

are multiplexed to reduce the pin-count and PCB traces

to the LEDs.

The I2C control interface is used to set the LED color

palette and then dynamically select the on/off status and

color of each RGB module. For applications requiring

more RGBs on one I2C bus, the KTD2061/58/59/60

have different slave addresses.

36 independent fade-up/down engines are integrated for

independent ramping of each LED’s current during

on/off, brightness, and color transitions without software

burden. The exponential current ramps provide visually

pleasing fades with eight I2C programmable fade-rate

settings. 3072-step fade resolution ensures ultrasmooth

visual effects.

BrightExtend™ optionally reduces dropout when the

input voltage is too low for the forward voltage of the

LEDs, enabling battery-powered applications.

Programmable CoolExtend™ prevents excessive heat

by regulating die temperature when the input voltage,

current settings, and/or ambient temperature are high.

The KTD2061/58/59/60 are packaged in RoHS and

Green compliant 3mm x 3mm UQFN packages with

0.58mm maximum height.
