A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to the VIHMIN of the SCLK signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCLK. 4. A fast-mode device can be used in a standard-mode system, but the requirement tSU:DAT = to 250ns must then be met. This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLK signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCLK signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tR max + tSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250ns before the SCLK line is released. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 9 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - E l e c t r i c a l C h a r a c t e r i s t i c s 6.2 Timing Diagrams Figure 3.

There are two different operating modes of the charge pump itself: 1:1 Bypass Mode - Battery input and output are connected by a low-impedance switch - battery current = output current. 1:2 Mode - The output voltage is up to 2 times the battery voltage (without load), but is limited to VCPOUTmax all the time - battery current = 2 times output current Figure 22. Charge Pump Block Diagram . As the battery voltage decreases, the Charge Pump must be switched from 1:1 mode to 1:2 mode in order to provide enough supply for the current sinks. Depending on the actual current the mode with best overall efficiency can be automatically or manually selected: The charge pump mode switching can be done manually or automatically with the following possible software settings: Automatic - Start with 1:1 mode - Switch up automatically to 1:2 mode Manual - Set modes 1:1 and 1:2 by software The Charge Pump requires the external components listed in the following table: Table 5.

In order to identify the enabled current sources, the related registers should be setup before starting the charge pump. If any of the voltage on these current sources drops below the threshold (Vcurr_source), the higher mode is selected after the debounce time (tdeb). The charge pump mode switching supports only a mode change to a higher charge pump mode (e.g.: mode 1:1 to mode 1:2). In case VBAT increases again during operation the automatic mode switching will not change the operation mode from 1:2 down to 1:1. In order to change the mode all current sources must be switched off to reset the charge pump mode switching mechanism. After enabling the current sources again the mode switching mechanism chooses the appropriate mode for the optimized operation of the charge pump either in 1:1 mode or 1:2 mode. In case an automatic pattern is used the current sources get a reset after each pattern cycle because the current sources are automatically switched off when executing a pattern after each cycle. Figure 23. Charge Pump Mode Switching . 8.1.2 Soft Start An implemented soft start mechanism reduces the inrush current. Battery current is smoothed when switching the charge pump on and also at each switching condition. This precaution reduces electromagnetic radiation significantly. 8.1.3 Unused Charge Pump If the charge pump is not used, capacitors CFLY and CVCPOUT can be removed. The pins CP, CN and VCP should be left open and keep register cp_on and cp_auto_on at 0 (default value). www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 15 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n 8.1.4 Charge Pump Control Register .

This predefined voltage is 2V (typ.) and is defined as VPOR_VBAT. Besides this hard wired voltage level where an internal reset is forced to shut down the device, AS3668 supports an additional VBAT monitoring feature. This means that the designer can select according to its application requirements a reset level which is appropriate for mobile Li-Ion battery powered applications. The use case for this second VBAT monitoring is to make sure that if a mobile device switches off suddenly, at a dedicated voltage, to make sure that also AS3668 enters power down mode. Otherwise unwanted LED effects could occur even if the digital system is not running any more. AS3668 allows the designer now to set the VBAT monitoring level to the same voltage level the whole system is powering down. There’s no need any more for the CPU to reset or power down AS3668 in a low battery case any more. The device can handle this use case automatically. In addition to the VBAT voltage monitoring the device supports also a shut down function forced by the serial interface. If the voltage on the serial interface pin SCL is below 1V (typ.) and GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin is low, the device forces a reset. To prevent the system against wrong resets caused by electromagnetically influences there is also a debounce timer integrated with a typical debounce time of 100ms. This debounce time is used for VBAT monitoring as well. If the serial interface monitoring is not supposed to be used in an application it is also possible to disable the feature using the corresponding register bit. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 19 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Figure 25.

The monitor is per default disabled when the AS3668 is powered up. The function can be used in order to send the device automatically into standby mode if the supply voltage of AS3668 drops below the defined values in register vmon_vbat. All together the user can select between three different voltage thresholds for this function with 3.375V, 3.3V and 3.0V. If the function is disabled the device switches of if the battery voltage drops below 2.0V. The monitor function has also a debouncer with 100ms implemented in order to filter the 217Hz GSM noise pulses from the battery supply voltage. Without the debouncer the chip would be susceptible to this noise and maybe enter into standby mode due to a misinterpretation of the supply voltage. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 20 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Figure 26.

This sensor generates a flag if the device temperature reaches the over temperature threshold of 140º. The threshold has a hysteresis to prevent oscillation effects. If the device temperature exceeds the T140 threshold all current sources and the charge pump get disabled and the ov_temp flag is set. After decreasing the temperature by THYST operation is resumed. Although the device resumes ordinary operation after a overtemperature event, the register ov_temp keeps set to 1. Even a read operation from the register doesn’t reset the register. Therefore it’s necessary to use the register rst_ov_temp to reset the overtemperature register ov_temp. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 21 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n The ov_temp flag can only be reset by first writing a 1 to the register bit rst_ov_temp.

The AS3668 operates as a slave on the I²C bus. Due to the reason that the device is also power up/down with the I²C interface there is a debouncer (130ms) on the signal lines integrated to avoid a system shut down while having I²C traffic on the bus. Figure 27. Serial Interface Block Diagram The bus must be controlled by a master device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions. Connections to the bus are made via the open-drain I/O pins SCL and SDA. The clock line SCL is never held low by AS3668 because clock stretching of the bus is not supported. Figure 28.

Bus Protocol MSB SDI ACK from Receiver Slave Address R/W Direction Bit ACK from Receiver 1 SCLK 2 6 7 8 9 ACK START 1 2 3-8 8 9 ACK Repeat if More Bytes Transferred STOP or Repeated START The bus protocol (as shown in Figure 29) is defined as: - Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy. - During data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes in the data line while the clock line is HIGH will be interpreted as control signals. The bus conditions are defined as: - Bus Not Busy. Data and clock lines remain HIGH. Start Data Transfer. A change in the state of the data line, from HIGH to LOW, while the clock is HIGH, defines a START condition. Stop Data Transfer. A change in the state of the data line, from LOW to HIGH, while the clock line is HIGH, defines the STOP condition. Data Valid. The state of the data line represents valid data, when, after a START condition, the data line is stable for the duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data. Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP condition. The number of data bytes transferred between START and STOP conditions is not limited and is determined by the master device. The information is transferred byte-wise and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth-bit. Within the I²C bus specifications a high-speed mode (3.4MHz clock rate) is defined. - Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. The master device must generate an extra clock pulse that is associated with this acknowledge bit. A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge clock pulse. Of course, setup and hold times must be taken into account. A master must signal an end of data to the slave by not generating an acknowledge bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the slave must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate the STOP condition. - Figure 29 on page 23 details how data transfer is accomplished on the I²C bus. Depending upon the state of the R/W bit, two types of data transfer are possible: - Master Transmitter to Slave Receiver. The first byte transmitted by the master is the slave address, followed by a number of data bytes. The slave returns an acknowledge bit after the slave address and each received byte. - Slave Transmitter to Master Receiver. The first byte, the slave address, is transmitted by the master. The slave then returns an acknowledge bit. Next, a number of data bytes are transmitted by the slave to the master. The master returns an acknowledge bit after all received bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the last received byte, a not-acknowledge is returned. The master device generates all of the serial clock pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with a STOP condition or a repeated START condition. Since a repeated START condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the bus will not be released. The AS3668 can operate in the following slave modes: - Slave Receiver Mode. Serial data and clock are received through SDA and SCL. After each byte is received, an acknowledge bit is transmitted. START and STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. Address recognition is performed by hardware after reception of the slave address and direction bit. - Slave Transmitter Mode. The first byte (the slave address) is received and handled as in the slave receiver mode. However, in this mode the direction bit will indicate that the transfer direction is reversed. Serial data is transmitted on SDA by the AS3668 while the serial clock is input on SCL. START and STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 23 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n 8.6.1 I²C Device Address Byte The address byte (see Figure 30) is the first byte received following the START condition from the master device. The 7 bit device address is 0x42. Figure 30. I²C Device Address Byte address: MSB 6 5 4 3 2 1 LSB 1 0 0 0 0 AD1 AD0 R/W - Bit 1 and bit 2 of the address byte are defined by the external bus connection of the slave to the master shown in chapter 8.6.3. A maximum of two devices can be connected in parallel on the same bus at one time. - The last bit of the address byte (R/W) define the operation to be performed. When set to a 1 a read operation is selected; when set to a 0 a write operation is selected. Following the START condition, the AS3668 monitors the I²C bus, checking the device type identifier being transmitted. Upon receiving the address code, and the R/W bit, the slave device outputs an acknowledge signal on the SDA line. 8.6.2 Command Byte The AS3668 operation, (see Table 29 on page 23) is determined by a command byte (see Table 31).

The selection of the I²C address is done with the interconnection of AS3668 to the bus lines shown in Figure 35 below. The serial interface logic inside AS3668 is able to distinguish between a direct I2C connection to the master or a second option where data and clock line are crossed. Therefore it is only possible to address a maximum of two AS3668 slaves on one I²C bus. Figure 35. I²C Address Selection Application Diagram DEVICE 1 DEVICE 2 The I²C addresses for the devices in the different connection modes can be found in Table 22. Table 22. I²C Addresses for AS3668 DEVICE Number 7 bit I²C address 8 Bit read address 8 Bit write address 1(default) 0x42 0x85 0x84 2 0x43 0x87 0x86 8.7 Operating Modes Due to the reason that AS3668 has no dedicated enable or power - on pin the device is basically controlled with the I²C signal lines SDA and SCL. If the voltages on these pins are less than VPOR_PERI for > tPOR_DEB and GPIO/AUDIO_IN input is low, the AS3668 is in shut down mode with a minimized current consumption of IVBAT = 1µA (typ.). All blocks inside AS3668 are basically switched off except the power up reset circuit is always active. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 25 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n If the voltage on the I²C signal lines is bigger than VPOR_PERI for a time frame longer than tPOR_DEB, the device changes it’s operation mode from power off to standby mode. In this use state only the power on reset and the I²C block of the device is active with an average current consumption of 10µA(typ.). The device changes its operating mode from standby to active mode automatically if one of the following blocks inside AS3668 are activated: Charge Pump Current Source Pattern Mode activated External PWM mode via GPIO/AUDIO_IN In addition to the I²C monitoring for startup of the device it is possible to power up AS3668 with GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin while the I²C signal lines are low. this is a special use case which starts a predefined pattern on current source CURR1. For a detailed description please refer to chapter 8.7.1. Besides the monitoring of the I²C signal lines there is also an additional feature which monitors the battery supply voltage VBAT. Basically there are two voltage levels where this voltage monitoring becomes active. The first voltage VPOR_VBAT can be seen as a shut down and minimum supply voltage of the device voltage which is fixed at 2V (typ.). The same voltage level is used for the power on reset circuit. If the battery voltage drops below VPOR_VBAT the device automatically changes from active mode or standby mode to off mode. Besides the VPOR_VBAT level there is a second VBAT monitoring voltage which can be activated in a register. This voltage VMON_VBAT is typically set to 3.4V (default register setting) but can be reconfigured using the I²C interface down to 2.4V according to the requirements of an application. It is also possible to disable the VBAT monitoring. The VPOR_VBAT monitoring can not be disabled. Table 23.

Startup and operating mode selection 8.7.1 GPIO/AUDIO_IN Automatic Pattern Start-up Mode As described in the previous chapter it is basically possible to start up the device using the I²C clock line. In some cases it is not possible to configure AS3668 in an application because the application processor is not running that time. Therefore AS3668 supports a special startup mode shown in Figure 36 and Figure 37 to start up the device without pulling the I²C clock line high. If an external device is connected to the GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin of AS3668 and the pin is pulled high the device starts up with an default pattern running on CURR1 although the I²C clock line is low shown in Figure 37. If for example AS3668 starts up with I²C and the GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin is low that time the device starts up in standby mode and can be configured using the two wire interface. If the I2C signal lines become low whereas the GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin is high at the same time the chip keeps activated and running as long as GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin is high. Once the GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin goes low the device enters shut down mode. This use case enables the user to keep on charging the battery for example and indicate this with a special PWM pattern while the CPU is powered down for example. A typical application is shown in Figure 38. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 27 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Figure 37. Timing Diagram Startup Modes Figure 38. Typical Application Automatic Pattern Startup The application in Figure 38 shows the AS3668 connected to a CPU and a typical charger. Most of the stand alone chargers do have a open drain output for charger indication with a LED. This output pin can be used to control AS3668. If the charger is active the GPIO/AUDIO_IN input pin of AS3668 is pulled high. The chip starts up with a default pattern on CURR1output. With this special mode it is possible to indicate charging using for example the RGB LED connected to AS3668 although the CPU is not running. This use case can happen if the battery of a device is almost fully discharged and the CPU can not start up because the battery voltage is too low in trickle charge mode. The automatic pattern startup mode allows the operate the LED on AS3668 without I²C interaction with the CPU. AS3668 starts up in automatic pattern start-up mode with the default pattern shown in Figure 39. Please mind that the pattern is only active for current source CURR1. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 28 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Figure 39.

It is possible to switch the operating mode of the pin from a GPIO to an analogue audio input. This multiplexed audio input pin allows the AS3668 to do lighting effects depending on the audio content connected to GPIO/AUDIO_IN. The block diagram for the signal processing path is shown in Figure 41. The analogue audio signal is coupled into the pin GPIO/AUDIO_IN with an external DC blocking capacitor. The integrated audio pre-amplifier with automatic gain control attenuates or amplifies the input signal to avoid clipping inside the signal processing path and furthermore increase the dynamic range of the signal in case a very small signal is applied to AS3668. The AGC of the preamplifier uses the audio gain defined in register audio_gain as start value and changes the gain in a range of +/3dB. The pre-amplified audio signal is then feed into an special analogue signal processing unit to create special lighting effects. Various settings inside the signal processing unit allow the user to define different types fancy lighting effects. This processing unit it directly linked together with the control logic for the four current sources of the device. Thus, besides the ordinary lighting pattern control of the current sources with register settings, the outputs are directly controlled in audio mode from the audio signal processing unit. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 30 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Figure 41.

The first and basic mode is the “Single Pulse Mode”. This mode is basically defined out of five parameters shown in Figure 42 below. Figure 42. LED Pattern - Single Pulse Mode The first parameter which can be configured in register pwm_dim_speed_up is tr_CURR. This time defines how long it takes to ramp up the current to the defined value in registers curr1_current, curr2_current, curr3_current and curr4_current for each current source. The dimming of the current source is of course logarithmic for a better visual effect but can be reconfigured to linear mode in register pwm_dim_shape. The second parameter tf_CURR, which can be controlled in register pwm_dim_speed_down, defines the fall time for dimming down the LEDs. The third parameter is ton_CURR and can be configured in register pattern_ton. It defines how long a current source keeps switched on with the current configured in register curr1_current, curr2_current, curr3_current and curr4_current for each current source. Also this down dimming is done with a logarithmic scale for a better visual effect. The last parameter toff_CURR defines how long the current sources or LEDs are switched off until the whole pattern cycle starts from the beginning and can be configured in register pattern_toff. Table 32. Singe Pulse Mode Parameters Symbol Parameter tr_CURR Rise time for dimming up CURRx tf_CURR Condition Min Typ Max Unit 0 8.39 s Fall time for dimming down CURRx 0 8.39 s ton_CURR On time for CURRx 0.05 4.2 s toff_CURR Off time for CURRx 0.08 8.4 s Please mind that the settings for tf_CURR, tr_CURR, ton_CURR and toff_CURR are valid for all four current sinks at the same time. It is not possible to define individual time values for each current source differently to each other. The only parameter which can differ from on current source to another is the current which can be configured in registers curr1_current, curr2_current, curr3_current and curr4_current for each current source individually. An example how the mode looks like for all four current sources in parallel can be seen in Figure 43. All current sources work synchronously to each other with a fixed and parallel start point. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 34 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Figure 43. Single Pulse Mode - Example 8.10.2 Multiple Pulse Mode In addition to the Single Pulse Pattern Mode described in Section 8.10.1 there is a second mode which is basically based on the Single Pulse Mode. The Multiple Pulse Mode still uses the parameters tr_CURR, tf_CURR, ton_CURR and toff_CURR of the Single Pulse Mode but has two more parameters. The first parameter is tp_CURR and can be configured in register tp_led. This register defines the pause time between two pulses. The second new parameter is a parameter that defines the number of multiple pulses. This can be configured in register multiple_pulse Table 33. Timing Multiple Pulse Mode The new parameter can be found in Table 34. All other parameters keep the same and are shared with the Single Pulse Mode. These parameters can be found in Table 32. / Table 34. Singe Pulse Mode Parameters Symbol Parameter tp_CURR Pause time between multiple pulses www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Condition Min 0 Revision 1.11 Typ Max Unit 540 ms 35 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Please mind that the settings for tr_CURR, tf_CURR, ton_CURR, toff_CURR and tp_CURR and the pulse count number in register multiple_pulse are valid for all four current sinks at the same time. It is not possible to define individual time values for each current source differently to each other. The only parameter which can differ from on current source to another is the current which can be configured in registers curr1_current, curr2_current, curr3_current and curr4_current for each current source independently. Figure 44. Multiple Pulse Mode - Example 8.10.3 Frame Mask Mode An additional feature for creating unique LED lighting effects is the Frame Mask Mode. In order to use this mode there is no additional timing parameter necessary. All the timing parameters described in Section 8.10.1 and Section 8.10.2 are also valid for this third mode and can be combined together. There are no restrictions when using this mode together with Single- or Multiple Pulse Mode. For a better understanding how this special mode works a timing diagram example can be found in Figure 45 below. Figure 45. Multiple Pulse Mode - Example www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 36 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n As the example shows, each defined pattern, no matter if it is a single pulse or multiple pulse pattern, can be divided into frames which are basically running in parallel mode. The pattern which has be defined with the different parameters like tr_CURR, ton_CURR, toff_CURR and tp_CURR is repeated in an endless loop. In order to enhance the functionality of the pattern generation it is possible to mask or skip frames in between the endless pattern loop. Each current source comes with a dedicated register to support masking of one frame up to four frames. This means the Frame Mask Mode allows the user to individually skip frames in each current source. The example above shows that the Frame Mask Register fmask_curr2 of CURR2 has been set to 1, which means every second frame will be masked out when playing the pattern. The Frame Mask Register fmask_curr3 of CURR3 has been set to 2, therefore two frames are masked out in the example. The register fmask_curr4 of CURR4 has been set to 3, thus three frames are masked out in the example. The frame mask order in the example is not fixed and can be easily exchanged depending on the Frame Mask Register setting for each current source. 8.10.4 Frame Start Delay Mode The frame delay mode allows the user to add a start-delay for each current source separately in pattern generation mode. This feature allows an user to create again more complex lighting patterns like a running LED shown in the example in Figure 46. Figure 46. Frame Start Delay Mode Each current source has a dedicated delay register(frame_delay1, frame_delay2, frame_delay3 and frame_delay4) which allow adding different start delays to each current source. This feature can of course be combined with the frame mask mode described in 8.10.3. In the example above the frame_delay2 register has been set to 1 to add one frame delay to CURR2. The frame_delay3 register has been set to 2 adding two frames startup delay to CURR3. CURR4 needs a startup delay of 3 frames which means theframe_delay4 registers must be set to 3. It is worth mentioning that there are also no restrictions when using this mode together with Single- or Multiple Pulse mode described in chapter 8.10.1 and 8.10.2. 8.10.5 GPIO Toggle Mode An add on feature which enables the user to use up to eight LEDs in pattern generation mode in a sequential order is the GPIO Toggle mode. Figure 47. GPIO Toggle Mode 1 Frame The mode can be enabled with the register gpio_toggle_en. Once the mode has been enabled register gpio_toggle_framenr gets activated and allows the user to select after how many frames the GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin toggles. An example is shown in Figure 47 above. The gpio_toggle_en register has been set to 1. The gpio_toggle_framenr register has also been set to 1. The GPIO/AUDIO_IN pin toggles after each frame. The pin can be used to control an external switch to enable some more LEDs. An example of such an application is shown in Figure 48. Please mind that it is not possible to operate all eight LEDs in parallel. It is only possible to enable either one or the other block. This mechanism is handled automatically with the external control transistors. www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3668 Revision 1.11 37 - 60 AS3668 Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Figure 48.
