Features
Automatic Dropout Prevention, Ambient Light
Sense Input, PWM Dimming, and 4 LDOs
Description
The SC667 is a highly integrated light management unit
that provides programmable current for up to seven LED
current sinks. Four LED banks are provided to allow set-
tings for various LED zones or indicators. Four low-noise
LDOs with programmable outputs ranging from 1.2V to 3.3V
and 200mA maximum output current are also included.
ADP limits the maximum LED current to a level that ensures
the LEDs maintain matched currents when the supply
voltage approaches dropout. This feature produces accept-
able light output at low supply voltage levels without
requiring a boost converter or charge pump.
Two interfaces are provided for design flexibility. The I
2
C
interface controls the LED on/off functions, assigns the
LEDs to backlight banks, programs the LED currents, pro-
grams the lighting effects, enables the LDOs, and sets the
LDO output voltages. The PWM interface reduces the
current setting for LED bank #1 by a factor equal to the duty
cycle of the applied PWM signal. A filter at the PWM input
converts the pulsed signal to a DC current level, resulting in
less switching noise compared to pulsed current methods.
The ADI input translates the voltage from an external ALS
(Ambient Light Sensor) into a digitized code using a sigma-
delta ADC. This block includes level detection to adjust the
current setting of bank #1 with two different programmable
levels based on the ambient light level. An interrupt output
transitions low to notify the host processor that a level
adjustment has been made.
