AUDIO MODULATED MATRIX LED DRIVER
April 2014
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The IS31FL3731C is a compact LED driver for 144
single LEDs. The device can be programmed via an
I2C compatible interface. The high logic (0.77VCC) and
low logic (0.2VCC) control threshold are specially
designed for white goods and industry application to
minimize the impact by the EMC noise. The
IS31FL3731C offers two blocks each driving 72 LEDs
with 1/9 cycle rate. The required lines to drive all 144
LEDs are reduced to 18 by using the cross-plexing
feature optimizing space on the PCB. Additionally
each of the 144 LEDs can be dimmed individually with
8-bit allowing 256 steps of linear dimming.
To reduce CPU usage up to 8 frames can be stored
with individual time delays between frames to play
small animations automatically. LED frames can be
modulated with audio signal.

IS31FL3731C
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
I2C INTERFACE
The IS31FL3731C uses a serial bus, which conforms
to the I2C protocol, to control the chip’s functions with
two wires: SCL and SDA. The IS31FL3731C has a 7bit slave address (A7:A1), followed by the R/W bit, A0.
Set A0 to “0” for a write command and set A0 to “1” for
a read command. The value of bits A1 and A2 are
decided by the connection of the AD pin.
The complete slave address is:
Following acknowledge of IS31FL3731C, the register
address byte is sent, most significant bit first.
IS31FL3731C must generate another acknowledge
indicating that the register address has been received.
Then 8-bit of data byte are sent next, most significant
bit first. Each data bit should be valid while the SCL
level is stable high. After the data byte is sent, the
IS31FL3731C must generate another acknowledge to
indicate that the data was received.
Bit
A7:A3
A2:A1
A0
The “STOP” signal ends the transfer. To signal
“STOP”, the SDA signal goes high while the SCL
signal is high.

ADDRESS AUTO INCREMENT
Table 1 Slave Address (Write only):
AD connected to GND, AD=00;
AD connected to VCC, AD=11;
AD connected to SCL, AD=01;
AD connected to SDA, AD=10;
The SCL line is uni-directional. The SDA line is bidirectional (open-collector) with a pull-up resistor
(typically 4.7kΩ). The maximum clock frequency
specified by the I2C standard is 400kHz. In this
discussion, the master is the microcontroller and the
slave is the IS31FL3731C.
To write multiple bytes of data into IS31FL3731C, load
the address of the data register that the first data byte
is intended for. During the IS31FL3731C acknowledge
of receiving the data byte, the internal address pointer
will increment by one. The next data byte sent to
IS31FL3731C will be placed in the new address, and
so on. The auto increment of the address will continue
as long as data continues to be written to
IS31FL3731C (Figure 6).
The timing diagram for the I2C is shown in Figure 3.
The SDA is latched in on the stable high level of the
SCL. When there is no interface activity, the SDA line
should be held high.
All of registers in IS31FL3731C can be read. But
Frame Registers can only be read in software
shutdown mode as SDB pin is high. The Function
Register can be read in software shutdown mode or
operating mode.
The “START” signal is generated by lowering the SDA
signal while the SCL signal is high. The start signal will
alert all devices attached to the I2C bus to check the
incoming address against their own chip address.
The 8-bit chip address is sent next, most significant bit
first. Each address bit must be stable while the SCL
level is high.
After the last bit of the chip address is sent, the master
checks for the IS31FL3731C’s acknowledge. The
master releases the SDA line high (through a pull-up
resistor). Then the master sends an SCL pulse. If the
IS31FL3731C has received the address correctly, then
it holds the SDA line low during the SCL pulse. If the
SDA line is not low, then the master should send a
“STOP” signal (discussed later) and abort the transfer.
READING PORT REGISTERS
To read the device data, the bus master must first
____
send the IS31FL3731C address with the R/W bit set
to “0”, followed by the Command Register address,
FDh, then send command data which determines
which response register is accessed. After a restart,
the bus master must send the IS31FL3731C address
____
with the R/W bit set to “0” again, followed by the
register address which determines which register is
accessed. Then restart I2C, the bus master should
____
send the IS31FL3731C address with the R/W bit set
to “1”. Data from the register defined by the command
byte is then sent from the IS31FL3731C to the master
(Figure 7).

Note: The Command Register should be configured first after writing in the slave address to choose the available register (Frame Registers
and Function Registers). Then write data in the choosing register.
For example, when write “0000 0011” in the Command Register (FDh), the data which writing after will be stored in the Frame 4 Register. Write
new data can configure other registers.

IS31FL3731C
APPLICATION INFORMATION (The description below is for the Function Register unless otherwise noted.)
PWM CONTROL
The brightness of 144 LEDs can be modulated with
256 steps by PWM Register. For example, if the data
in PWM Register is “0000 0100”, then the PWM is the
fourth step.
Writing new data continuously to the registers can
modulate the brightness of the LEDs to achieve a
breathing effect.
configuration is defined by the breath cycle T. When
T=1s, choose 32 gamma steps, when T=2s, choose
64 gamma steps. The user must decide the final
number of gamma steps not only by the LED itself,
but also based on the visual performance of the
finished product.
Table 18 64 gamma steps with 256 PWM steps
GAMMA CORRECTION
In order to perform a better visual LED breathing effect
we recommend using a gamma corrected PWM value
to set the LED intensity. This results in a reduced
number of steps for the LED intensity setting, but
causes the change in intensity to appear more linear to
the human eye.
Gamma correction, also known as gamma
compression or encoding, is used to encode linear
luminance to match the non-linear characteristics of
display. Since the IS31FL3731C can modulate the
brightness of the LEDs with 256 steps, a gamma
correction function can be applied when computing
each subsequent LED intensity setting such that the
changes in brightness matches the human eye's
brightness curve.

IS31FL3731C
can be operating with breath function by configuring
Breath Control Register 2 (09h).
AUTO FRAME PLAY MODE
By setting the MODE bit of the Configuration Register
(00h) to “01”, the IS31FL3731C operates in Auto
Frame Play Mode. It stores data of 8 frames and
automatically plays in order. Customers can configure
the delay time between each two frames and the first
playing frame by setting the FS bit of Configuration
Register (00h). The Auto Play Control Register 1 (02h)
can configure the display cycle and display frames.
Configure the Auto Play Control Register 2 (03h),
Breath Control Register 1 (08h) and Breath Control
Register 2 (09h) can set the breath time between two
frames switching.
AUDIO FRAME PLAY MODE
By setting the MODE bit of the Configuration Register
(00h) to “1x”, the IS31FL3731C operates in Audio
Frame Play Mode. It stores data of 8 frames and the 8
frames playing follow the input signal. 0Ch register is
used to set the ADC sample rate for the input signal to
control frames playing. It plays the first frame when the
value is the smallest and plays the eighth frame when
the value is the biggest.
AUDIO MODULATED AND GAIN SETTING
By setting the AE bit of the Audio Synchronization
Register (06h) to “1”, IS31FL3731C operates with
audio synchronization. The intensity of LEDs is
adjusted by the input signal. The audio input gain can
be set by the AGC Control Register (0Bh).
BREATHING FUNCTION SETTING
When IS31FL3731C switches playing frame, breath
function is available. By setting the B_EN bit of the
Breath Control Register 2 (09h) to “1”, breath function
enable. When set the B_EN bit to “0”, breath function
disable.
Figure 12 Breathing function
INTERRUPT CONTROL
When IS31FL3731C is playing frame in the Auto
Frame Play Mode, the INTB pin is high and the INT bit
of Frame State Register (07h) is “0”. It will be pulled
low as movie end and the INT bit will be set to “1” at
the same time.
The INTB pin will come back to high level
automatically if it stays low at least 7ms. The INT bit
will reset to “0” only when reading the Frame State
Register (07h).
LED MATRIX CIRCUIT
The IS31FL3731C can drive 144 LEDs totally. Part of
LEDs can if there is no need to use all 144 LEDs
(Figure 13). But the LEDs which are no connected
must be off by LED Control Register (Frame Registers)
or it will affect other LEDs.
BLINK FUNCTION SETTING
By setting the BE bit of the Display Option Register
(05h) to “1”, blink function enable. If the BE bit is set to
“1”, each LED can be controlled by the Blink Control
Registers (12h~23h in Page One to Page Eight). The
Display Option Register (05h) is used to set the blink
period time, BPT, and the duty cycle is 50% (Figure
11).

MORE FRAMES DISPLAY
The IS31FL3731C can store 8 frames data at best.
Each 4 frames writing in Frame Registers is
recommended if there are more frames to play (Figure
14). First, store 8 frames data and play 4 frames in
front. Then play last 4 frames and writing new data in
the Frame Registers (1~4) at the same time. Play the
new 4 frames (1~4) and write new data in the Frame
Registers (5~8).
SHUTDOWN MODE
Shutdown mode can be used as a means of reducing
power consumption. During shutdown mode all
registers retain their data.
SOFTWARE SHUTDOWN
By setting SSD bit of the Shutdown Register (0Ah) to
“0”, the IS31FL3731C will operate in software
shutdown mode. When the IS31FL3731C is in
software shutdown mode, all current sources and
digital drivers are switched off, so that the matrix is
blanked. All registers can be writing or read when the
SDB pin is pulled high in software shutdown mode.
HARDWARE SHUTDOWN
The chip enters hardware shutdown mode when the
SDB pin is pulled low. All registers are forbidden
writing and reading.
Figure 14 More frame data writing in
REXT
The average output current of each LED can be
adjusted by the external resistor, REXT, as described in
Formula (2).
I LED 64.7 / REXT

For example, in Figure 1, REXT = 20kΩ,
Figure 15 Shutdown Control
So I LED 64.7 / 20 3.2mA
The recommended minimum value of REXT is 18kΩ, or
it may cause a large current.
