THL3514-B

THL3514_Rev.1.02_E THL3514 24-channel Constant Current LED Driver with LVDS Interface DESCRIPTIONS FEATURES The THL3514 is an LED driver with 24 channel constant current sink outputs. The constant current values for three output groups are determined by external resistors. The embedded oscillator and PWM co ntroller individually generates 256-step brightness set by the dedicated registers for each channel. The serial interface of 2-pair LVDS lines (clock and data) features high-level noise tolerance, high-speed, and long-distance transmission. The LVDS allowing cascaded and multidrop connection offers the maximum flexibility for designers to place and connect LED drivers. The simple and one-way communication protocol is easily-controlled and requires less CPU resources. < Driver part > - Constant Current Output: 24 channels - Output Sink Current: up to 40mA/ch - Output voltage: up to 40V - Individual Brightness Control: 256 steps - Output disable/enable < Serial interface part > - 2-pair Serial LVDS Input or 3-wire Serial CMOS Input up to 10Mbps - Bridge Function Converting 3-wire Serial CMOS Input to 2-pair Serial LVDS Output - Repeater function of 2-pair Serial LVDS Input / Output with Waveform and Timing Correction - Device Address Selection up to 62 addresses - General call to all devices APPLICATIONS Amusement LED Backlight LED Display Digital Signage Illumination Protection Circuits UVLO, Short Circuit Protection, Thermal Shutdown Supply Voltage: 3.0~5.5V Package: QFN 48-pin Exposed Pad Protection Circuits EU RoHS Compliant Block Diagram OUT8~OUT15 OUT16~OUT23 OUT0~OUT7 REXT0 REXT1 Current Sink Constant Current Generator Current Sink Current Sink Oscillator PWM Controller REXT2 Registers Address A0~A5 Data Input Logic LVDS Input LVDS Output SCL_INp SCL SCL_OUTp SCL_INn SCL_OUTn SDA_INp SDA SDA_INn SDA_OUTp Re-timing SDA_OUTn SCK SCL CSn SDA SI MODE Copyright©2022 THine Electronics, Inc. 3-wire to 2-wire conversion 1 THine Electronics, Inc.

SC: E THL3514_Rev.1.02_E FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION External reference resistor The constant current value of LED driver output channels are determined by the resistors connected between REXT0, REXT1, REXT2 and GND. The external resistor value is calculated by the following equation. REXT[kΩ]= 0.6 [V] × 80 (Typical Value at Iout=20mA) Iout [mA] For example, when Iout=20mA, REXT=0.6/20 x 80=2.4[kΩ] Writing to registers The device includes 25-byte registers (R00-R18) for setting. Writing to registers is executed through the serial interface and the value is maintained as long as power is applied. The register value can not be read. Writing to registers should be invoked after the power supply (VDD) of all the devices in cascading and multidrop connection gets stable above 3.0V. Then after power-up, if using 2-pair serial LVDS input, initialization of 2-pair serial LVDS input must be done before writing to registers. However, in case all the registers are continuously rewritten, in other words repeatedly refreshed, the initialization of 2-pair serial LVDS input is not necessary after power-up and instantaneous interruption. Please refer to the section “Initialization of 2-pair Serial LVDS Input” for details. UVLO The device has an internal UVLO (Under-Voltage Locked-Out) circuit to prevent the device from malfunction at low supply voltage. Until power supply (VDD) has reached 2.5V (typical value), the UVLO holds the internal logic circuit in a reset condition, and keeps the LED driver outputs and LVDS outputs in Hi-Z state. The UVLO circuit has hysteresis. If power supply falls below 2.4V (typical value), the device gets into the above UVLO state in which the internal logic circuit is reset and the registers are reset to default value. UVLO Threshold (2.5V typ.) Hysterisys (0.1V typ.) Power Supply(VDD) Internal Reset Signal (Active-Low) Short Circuit Protection The device includes short circuit protection circuits for each pin of the external reference resistors, REXT0-REXT2 to prevent the LED driver outputs from driving excessive current. If LED driver outputs turn on with the REXT0-REXT2 pin shorted to such as GND, overcurrent flowing in output transistors may causes permanent damage to the device. The short circuit protection is a function to shutdown outputs immediately when the device detects short circuit condition on REXT0-REXT2 pin. If short circuit condition is resolved, normal operation automatically resumes. However, this function can not always prevent breakdown or damage to the device depending on usage situation and duration of abnormality. Thermal Shutdown The device includes thermal shutdown circuit to prevent damages caused by excessive heat. If the junction temperature exceeds the absolute maximum rating (Tj=150 °C), the thermal shutdown circuit turn off all LED driver outputs. The thermal shutdown circuits has hysteresis. If Tj falls enough, normal operation automatically resumes. However, this function can not always prevent breakdown or damage to the device depending on usage situation and duration of abnormality.

SC: E THL3514_Rev.1.02_E Serial Communication Protocol 2- pair serial LVDS input or 3-wire serial CMOS level input is selected as a serial interface for register setting by the MODE pin. The 2-pair serial LVDS input and 3-wire serial CMOS level input share input pins (SCL_INp/SCL_INn, SDA_INp/SDA_INn) which are used as 2-pair serial LVDS input when the MODE pin is set to low, and used as 3-wire serial CMOS level input when the MODE pin is set to high. - The serial interface is clock synchronous and used only for writing to registers (one-way communication). - The data length is 8-bit in MSB first bit order. As for how to recognize the first bit, please refer to the section “2-pair serial LVDS input” and “3-wire serial CMOS level input”. - The first 8 bits that includes the first bit is defined as “1st byte” and the next 8 bits as “2nd byte” and so on. - “1st Byte” is assigned to the device address. If device address is set to 00h, all the devices are selected to be written except the device which has a device address 00111111 by the A5-A0 pins. - “2nd Byte” is assigned to the register address. - The bytes after “3rd Byte” is assigned to register values to write. The register address is incremented every time 8-bit register value is written. For example, the value of “3rd Byte” is written to the register at the address indicated in “2nd byte“, and the value of “4th byte” is written to the register at the address (“2nd byte“+1). - Don’t write except the registers R00-R18 < Serial Data > 1st Byte 2nd Byte Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Register Address Device Address The first bit 3rd Byte Last Byte Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Register Value Bit7 Bit6 Bit5 Bit4 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 Register Value Device Address Setting The lower 6 bits out of 8-bit serial interface device address are set by the A0-A5 pin. The higher 2 bits are fixed at 00. For example, in case A5=Low, A4=Low, A3=Low, A2=Low, A1=Low, A0=High, the device address is set to 00000001 (01h). - If the A0-A5 pins are all set to high, the register of the device can not be written. Please set all the A0-A5 pins to high in order to use only 2-pair to 2-pair repeater function or 3-wire to 2-pair bridge function without using LED driver outputs. - Since the device address 00000000 (00h) is the one to be used for writing to all devices, basically don’t use it. - Please set device addresses within the range from 00000001 (01h) to 00111110 (3Eh) in normal use.

The chip select (CSn), serial clock (SCK), serial data (SI) of 3-wire serial CMOS level input are input to the SCL_INn pin, the SCL_INp pin, the SDA_IN pin respectively. The SDA_INn must be tied to low. - While the CSn stays low, the data input SI is latched by rising edges of the clock input SCK. - The data latched by the first clock rising edge after the CSn falls is assigned the “first bit“. - The “Last Byte” is written to a register when the CSn rises after Bit0 (in other words, “Last Byte” will not be written to a register until the CSn rises). - If the CSn rises in the middle of a byte, the byte is not written to a register, then the communication resumes from “1st Byte” when the CSn falls next. < 3-wire Serial CMOS Level Input > SCL_INn (CSn) 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 SCL_INp (SCK) SDA_INp (SI) bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 bit7 bit6 “1st Byte“ bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 “2nd Byte“ “Last Byte“ 2-pair serial LVDS When the MODE pin is set to low, the serial interface for writing to registers becomes 2-pair serial LVDS input (SCL_INp/SCL_INn, SDA_INp/SDA_INn). - The data input SDA_IN is latched by rising edges of the clock input SCL_IN. - A falling transition of the SDA_IN while the SCL_IN is high is defined as ”Header Condition“, and the data latched by the first clock rising edge after the “Header Condition” is assigned the “first bit“. Except ”Header Condition”, the transitions of the data input SDA_IN are allowed while the clock input SCL_IN is low. - The “Last Byte” is written to a register at the reception of an active-low pulse “End Pulse” (actually, “Last Byte” is written to a register at the rising edge of the “End Pulse“). When the “End Pulse” rises, the data output SDA_OUT must be high. - If the ”Header Condition” is received in the middle of a byte, the byte is not written to a register, then the communication resumes from “1st Byte“. < 2-pair serial LVDS input > 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 7 6 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 End Pulse SCL_IN SDA_IN bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 bit7 bit6 Header Condition “1st Byte“ “2nd Byte“ bit7 bit6 bit5 bit4 bit3 bit2 bit1 bit0 “Last Byte“ * The 3-wire to 2-pair bridge function can convert 3-wire serial output from the host such as micro-controller or CPU to 2-pair serial LVDS.

SC: E THL3514_Rev.1.02_E Initialization of 2-pair Serial LVDS Input After power-up, if using 2-pair serial LVDS input, initialization of 2-pair serial LVDS input must be done before writing to registers. Without the initialization of 2-pair serial LVDS input, the first writing to registers (“1st Byte”-”Last Byte”) may possibly fail. However, the initialization of 2-pair serial LVDS input is not necessary in case failure in the first writing to registers can be allowed; for example, in case all the registers (R00-R18) are continuously rewritten, in other words repeatedly refreshed. In order to initialize 2-pair serial LVDS input, please input active-low pulse (pulse width: 200ns min.) of the CSn into 3wire serial CMOS level input of the first device which converts 3-wire to 2-pair. In consequence, the 2-pair serial LVDS input of all the following devices are initialized.

The individual Brightness is controlled by PWM duty cycle. The ratio of ON time for the constant current outputs is expressed in the following equation. ON time ratio = Individual Brightness Control Register Value / 256 The bigger setting value results in the larger ON time ratio, therefore higher brightness. When the register value is 0, the output current sink is held OFF, therefore the LED turns off. < Individual Brightness Control > approximately 290s Individual Brightness:255 ON ON Duty=255/256 OFF Individual Brightness:254 ON ON Duty =254/256 OFF ON Individual Brightness:2 OFF ON Duty=2/256 ON ＿＿ Individual Brightness:1 OFF ON Duty =1/256 Individual Brightness:0 OFF ON Duty =0/256 PWM Phase Control Mode The PWM pulse start position of each channel is controlled in different phases to reduce switching noise. The phase control mode is selectable in 2 ways by the register configuration (R00[7]). In normal mode (R00[7]=0), the PWM pulse start positions of all channels are different from each other.
