Description

The KTD2037/2037B is a fully programmable, constant current RGB LED driver with a flexible control interface. The device is ideally powered from one-cell lithium ion/polymer, 3-cell NiCd/NiMH/Alkaline batteries, or systems with 3.3V or 5V supplies. It provides three independent programmable constant current sinks without requiring any external components.

With an on-chip timing control unit, LED blink rate, fade-in and fade-out are user-adjustable resulting in unique color lighting patterns.

Ten internal registers are programmed via the I2C control interface with a built-in decoder allowing individual control of the LED channels’ On/Off state and current level. A total of 191 current levels are available for each channel from 0.125mA to 24mA with a 0.125mA step.

An AutoBlinQ mode automatically turns on and off LED1 (on D1 pin) at 8mA every 2s after EN pin goes high. In this mode, a phone with a discharged battery connected to a charger can have LED1 blink to notify that the battery is charging.

In shutdown mode, the quiescent current is reduced to less than 1μA.

The device is available in a low profile 8-pin 1.5mm x 1.5mm x 0.5mm Ultra-Thin DFN package. The package is Pb-free and RoHS compliant.
