ALED Driver
LP55281 has a single ALED driver. It is a constant current
sink with an 8-bit control. ALED driver can be used as a DC
current sink or an audio synchronized current sink. Note, that
when the audio synchronization function is enabled, the 8-bit
current control register has no effect.
ALED driver is enabled when audio synchronization is en-
abled (EN_SYNC = 1) or when ALED[7:0] control byte has
other than 00h value.
ADJUSTMENT OF ALED DRIVER
Adjustment of the ALED driver current (Register 0Ch) is de-
scribed in table below:
With other than values on the table, the current value can be
calculated to be (15.0 mA / 255) * ALED[7:0], where ALED
[7:0] is value in decimals.
LED Test Interface
All LED pin voltages and boost output voltage in LP55281 can
be measured and value can be read through the SPI/I
compatible interface. MUX_LED[3:0] bits in the LED test reg-
ister (address 12h) are used to select one of the LED outputs
or boost output for measurement. The selected output is con-
nected to the internal ADC through a 55 kΩ resistor divider.
The AD conversion is activated by setting the EN_LTEST bit
to '1'. The first conversion is ready after 128 µs from this. The
result can be read from the ADC output register (address
13h). The device executes the AD conversions automatically

once in every 128 µs period, as long as the EN_LTEST bit is
'1'.
User can set the preferred DC current level with the LED driv-
er controls. The RGB drivers' PWM must be set to 100%, or
otherwise there can appear random variation on results. Note,
that the 55 kΩ resistor divider causes small additional current
through the LED under measurement.
ADC result can be converted into a voltage value (of the se-
lected pin) by multiplying the ADC result (in decimals) with
27.345 mV (value of LSB). The calculated voltage value is the
voltage between the selected pin and ground. The internal
LDO voltage is used as a reference voltage for the conver-
sion. The accuracy of LDO is ± 3%, which is defining the
overall accuracy. The non-linearity and offset figures are both
better than 2LSB.
