IS31FL3218
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Then the master sends an SCL pulse. If the
IS31FL3218 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.
I2C INTERFACE
The IS31FL3218 uses a serial bus, which conforms to
the I2C protocol, to control the chip’s functions with two
wires: SCL and SDA. The IS31FL3218’s slave address
is “1010 1000”. It only supports write operations.
Following acknowledge of IS31FL3218, the register
address byte is sent, most significant bit first.
IS31FL3218 must generate another acknowledge
indicating that the register address has been received.
The SCL line is uni-directional. The SDA line is
bi-directional (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 IS31FL3218.
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
IS31FL3218 must generate another acknowledge to
indicate that the data was received.
The timing diagram for the I2C is shown in Figure 2.
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.
The “STOP” signal ends the transfer. To signal “STOP”,
the SDA signal goes high while the SCL signal is high.
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.
ADDRESS AUTO INCREMENT
To write multiple bytes of data into IS31FL3218, load
the address of the data register that the first data byte
is intended for. During the IS31FL3218 acknowledge of
receiving the data byte, the internal address pointer will
increment by one. The next data byte sent to
IS31FL3218 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 IS31FL3218
(Figure 5).
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 IS31FL3218’s acknowledge. The master
releases the SDA line high (through a pull-up resistor).

The PWM Registers adjusts LED luminous intensity in

The value of a channel’s PWM Register decides the
average output current for each output, OUT1~OUT18.
The average output current may be computed using the

16h PWM Update Register
The data sent to the PWM Registers and the LED
Control Registers will be stored in temporary registers.
A write operation of any 8-bit value to the Update
Register is required to update the registers (01h~15h).
17h Reset Register
Once user writes any 8-bit data to the Reset Register,
IS31FL3218 will reset all registers to default value. On
initial power-up, the IS31FL3218 registers are reset to
their default values for a blank display.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PWM CONTROL
256
The PWM Registers (01h~12h) can modulate LED
brightness of 18 channels with 256 steps. For example,
if the data in PWM Register is “0000 0100”, then the
PWM is the fourth step.

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 IS31FL3218 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.

Gamma Correction(32 Steps)
Choosing more gamma steps provides for a more
continuous looking breathing effect. This is useful for
very long breathing cycles. The recommended
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.

By setting SSD bit of the Configuration Register (00h)
to “0”, the IS31FL3218 will operate in software
shutdown mode, wherein they consume only 3.1μA
(Typ.) current. When the IS31FL3218 is in software
shutdown mode, all current sources are switched off.
