3 Description

The LP5813 is a synchronous boost 4 × 3 matrix RGB

LED driver with autonomous animation engine control.

The device is ideal to support battery-powered

applications with 0.5-V to 5.5-V input voltage range,

and it has ultra-low normal operation current with 0.4-

mA (typical) when illuminate LEDs.

The integrated synchronous boost converter

maintains excellent efficiency and keeps the

brightness of LEDs stable over a wide operating

voltage range. Output voltage can be selected for

different LED forward voltage from 3 V to 5.5 V with

0.1-V step. The boost converter can power not only

the LEDs driven by the device itself, but also other

loads in the system. If the boost converter need to be

bypassed, VOUT is used as the power supply input

for the LED driver blocks.

The time-cross-multiplexing (TCM) structure is

adopted, which uses 4 output pins to control 12 LED

dots individually. Both high-side scan switch and lowside

current sink are contained in one output. The

total solution size are minimized for space limited

system.

The autonomous animation engine can significantly

reduce the real-time loading of controller. Each LED

can be configured through the related registers to

realize vivid and fancy lighting effects. The device

can generate 6-MHz clock signal and use it for

synchronizing the lighting effects among multiple

devices.
