IS32LT3174
SINGLE CHANNEL, LINEAR LED DRIVER WITH FADE IN/FADE OUT
Preliminary Information
June 2015
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The IS32LT3174 is a linear programmable current
regulator consisting of one output channel capable of
up to 200mA. It features an ON/OFF input pin to toggle
the channel between the OFF condition and the source
condition.


A single external resistor programs the current level for
the channel, while a separate, single resistor programs
the fade in and fade out rate for channel.

The device integrates a 63 steps fade in and fade out
algorithm (Gamma correction) which causes the output
LED current to gradually ramp up to the full source
value after the channel’s control pin is pulsed. The
same controller causes the LED current to gradually
ramp down to zero if the channel’s input control pin is
pulsed while the output channel is on. The LED current
output can be controlled by a momentary contact
switch or logic level signal.
The IS32LT3174 is targeted at the automotive market
with end applications to include map and dome lighting
as well as exterior accent lighting. For 12V automotive
applications the low dropout driver can support 1 to 3
LEDs per channel. It is offered in a small thermally
enhanced SOP-8-EP package.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The IS32LT3174 is a single channel linear current
driver optimized to drive an automotive interior map
light, or other interior lamp which is frequently toggled
between the on and off condition. The device
integrates an input control for the channel allowing for
independent on/off operation. In addition, a
programmable fade in and fade out feature is
integrated into channel’s control block to allow the end
customer maximum flexibility in setting up their light
timing requirements.
The regulated LED current (up to 200mA) is set by a
single reference resistor (RISET).
OUTPUT CURRENT SETTING
A single programming resistor (RISET) controls the
maximum output current for output channel
simultaneously. The programming resistor may be
computed using the following Equation (1):
RISET 
2000
I SET
(1)
(10kΩ≤RISET≤100kΩ)
Figure 18
EN Debounced
Debounce - Output control is provided by a
debounced switch input, providing an ON/OFF toggle
action for various switch or button characteristics. An
internal debounce circuit will condition the input signal
so a single press of the mechanical switch doesn't
appear like multiple presses. The EN input is
debounced by typically 37ms.
The device is protected from an output overcurrent
condition caused by an accidental short circuit of the
ISET pin, by internally limiting the maximum current in
the event of an ISET short circuit to 260mA.
Note: The debounce time applies to both falling and
rising edges of the EN signal.
EN PIN OPERATION
When an EN channel is turned on (pulled low), the
output current of the channel shall gradually ramp up
from zero to the final value as programmed by the
resistor (RISET) connected to the ISET pin. The time
period over which the ramping happens is determined
by the resistor (RTSET) connected to the TSET pin. The
output current shall ramp up (or down) in 63 steps, with
integrated gamma correction for an extremely linear
ramping of the luminous output of the LED bulb.
The EN inputs to the device include internal pull-up
sources so that no external components are required
to provide the input high level to the pin.
The output channel powers up in the ‘OFF’ condition.
Toggling the EN pin from high to low on a given
channel for a period of time that exceeds the debounce
time will cause that channel’s output to toggle from the
OFF condition to the source condition. When this
happens, the output current of the channel gradually
ramps up from zero to the programmed value (set by
RISET) over the time set by the resistor (RTSET) attached
to the ISET pin. Conversely, if a channel is already in
the source condition, and that channel’s EN pin is
toggled low, then the output current shall begin to ramp
down towards zero in the time period as programmed
by the resistor (RTSET) attached to the TSET pin.
Note, the EN input is available during the period of
either fade in or fade out condition.
FADE IN AND FADE OUT
SETTING THE FADE TIME
The fade time, either in or out, for channel is set by a
single external programming resistor (RTSET). The fade
time is programmable by Equation (2):
t  RTSET  2.5s
(2)
For example, RTSET=100kΩ, fade time is about 0.25s.
Note: In order to get the optimized effect, the
recommended fading time is between 1.5s
(RTSET=600kΩ) and 0.25s (RTSET=100kΩ).
If the TSET pin is tied directly to GND, the fade in/out
function is canceled and the ramp time is about 73µs,
or ‘instant on’. However, the debounce feature of the
EN pin is not disabled.

Gamma Correction (63 Steps)
GAMMA CORRECTION
FAULT DETECTION
In order to perform a better visual LED breathing effect
we recommend using a gamma corrected 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.
An output shorted to GND fault is detected if the output
voltage on a channel drops below the low voltage
threshold VSCD and remains below the threshold for tFD.
The channel (OUT) with the short condition will reduce
its output current to 20% of ISET.
Gamma correction, also known as gamma
compression or encoding, is used to encode linear
luminance to match the non-linear characteristics of
display. Gamma correction will vary the step size of the
current such that the fading of the light appears linear
to the human eye. Even though there may be 1000
linear steps for the fading algorithm, when gamma
corrected, the actual number of steps could be as low
as 63.

When short condition is removed, output current will
recover to original value.
When output current is larger than limit value, about
260mA, the output current will be clamped. When the
open fault condition is recovered, there will be a large
current pulse about 10µs.
OVERTEMPERATURE PROTECTION
The device features an integrated thermal rollback
feature which will reduce the output current of channel
in a linear fashion if the silicon temperature exceeds
125°C (Typical). In the event that the die temperature
continues to increase, the device will enter thermal
shutdown if the temperature exceeds 155°C.
THERMAL ROLLOFF
The output current of channel will be equal to the set
value so long as the die temperature of the IC remains
below 125°C (Typical). If the die temperature exceeds
this threshold, the output current of the device will
begin to reduce at a rate of 3%/°C.
The roll off slope is related to ISET value. When
ISET=20mA, the roll off slope is about 3.7%. When
ISET=200mA, the roll off slope is about 2.2%.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
In the event that the die temperature exceeds 155°C,
the output channel will go to the ‘OFF’ state. At this
point, the IC presumably begins to cool off. Any
attempt to toggle the channes back to the source
condition before the IC cooled to < 135°C will be
blocked and the IC will not be allowed to restart.

IS32LT3174
The package thermal resistance, RθJA, determines the
amount of heat that can pass from the silicon die to the
surrounding ambient environment. The RθJA is a
measure of the temperature rise created by power
dissipation and is usually measured in degree Celsius
per watt (°C/W). The junction temperature, TJ, can be
calculated by the rise of the silicon temperature, ∆T,
the power dissipation, PD, and the package thermal
resistance, RθJA, as in Equation (3):
2
PD  VCC  I CC   (VCC  VOUT )  I OUT
x 1
(3)
and,
TJ  TA  T  TA  PD  RJA
(4)
Where VCC is the supply voltage, VOUT is the voltage of
OUT pin and TA is the ambient temperature.
When operating the chip at high ambient temperatures,
or when driving maximum load current, care must be
taken to avoid exceeding the package power
dissipation limits. The maximum power dissipation can
be calculated using the following Equation (5):
PD ( MAX ) 
125C  25C
RJA
PD ( MAX ) 
So,
125C  25C
