3 Description

The LP5523 is a 9-channel LED driver designed to

produce lighting effects for mobile devices. A highefficiency

charge pump enables LED driving over full

Li-Ion battery voltage range. The device is equipped

with an internal program memory, which allows

operation without processor control.

The LP5523 maintains excellent efficiency over a

wide operating range by autonomously selecting the

best charge-pump gain based on LED forward

voltage requirements. The LP5523 is able to

automatically enter power-save mode when LED

outputs are not active, thus lowering idle current

consumption down to 10 μA (typical).

The LP5523 has an I2C-compatible control interface

with four pin selectable addresses. The device has a

flexible general purpose output (GPO), which can be

used as a digital control pin for other devices. INT pin

can be used to notify processor when a lighting

sequence has ended (interrupt function). Also, the

device has a trigger input interface, which allows

synchronization, for example, between multiple

LP5523 devices.

The device requires only four small, low-cost ceramic

capacitors. The LP5523 is available in a tiny 25-pin

DSBGA package (0.4-mm pitch).
