12-Channel RGB LED Drivers with I2C Control
Description
The KTD2052 is a fully programmable current regulator for up to four RGB LEDs (12 LEDs total). The device is ideally powered from a supply rail in the 3V to 5V nominal range. A 4-wire bus is multiplexed to reduce the pin-count and PCB traces to the LEDs. Each pin on the bus integrates a switch to the input voltage and a programmable low-dropout current sink regulator.
There are four versions: the KTD2052A/C are defaulted disabled at initial power-up, while the KTD2052B/D execute an AutoBreatheTM pattern by default at initial power-up or when reset. The KTD2052A/B use 0x74 7-bit I2C slave address, while the KTD2052C/D use 0x75. See the Ordering Information section.
The I2C control interface is used to set the on/off status and individual LED currents, as well as adjust the fade rate. An internal flexible pattern generator with watchdog counter enables set-and-forget pattern executions, while more complex patterns may be executed from system firmware via the I2C interface.
BrightExtendTM optionally reduces dropout when the input voltage is too low for the forward voltage of the LEDs. Programmable CoolExtendTM prevents excessive heat when the input voltage, current settings, and ambient temperature are high.
The KTD2052 is packaged in RoHS and Green compliant 2mm x 2mm UDFN package.
