AS3691 Product Brief austriamicrosystems Product Brief AS3691 4 Precision 400mA Current Sources for RGB and Single Color Leds 1 General Description The AS3691 features four high precision current sources for driving up to four LED strings (RGB or single color leds). Each of the four currents sources can be controlled independently by PWM inputs. The full scale current value is set by external resistors. 2 Key Features Very wide output voltage current source voltage compliance − Down to 0.41V 2) − Up to 15V Integrated overtemperature protection Separate sense pads (Rfb1-Rfb4) for easy and precise PCB Layout Package − DIE − QFN24 4x4mm 4 x 400mA constant current outputs Programmable with external resistors 4 independent PWM inputs Absolute current accuracy +/-0.5% ’ Automatic Supply Regulation’ to reduce power 1) dissipation 15V is sufficient for most applications as the AS3691 dose not switch off the LED current completely 1) 2) 3 Applications Patent Pending General Lighting Backlighting RGB Backlighting for LCD TV/Monitors with White Color Balancing 4 Application Diagrams Figure 1 – Application Diagram of AS3691 for Single Color Lighting (Single Module shown) VDD VDD Csup 100nF Rvdd Cvdd 100nF UV UV VREG 15 UV1 CURR1 UV2 CURR2 UV3 CURR3 UV4 CURR4 22 1 20 17 10 13 8 5 AS3691 Vc Vc Vc Vc D1 Ref T1 T2 I1 Overtemp I2 R1 21,Pad 23 VSS ON1 T3 I3 R2 2 24 RFB1 19 RES1 ON2 Ri1 I4 R3 16 18 RFB2 T4 11 RES2 ON3 Ri2 R4 14 12 RFB3 7 4 RES3 ON4 RFB4 Ri3 6 RES4 Ri4 VSS VSS PW M PWM www.austriamicrosystems.com Revision 1.2 1-3 AS3691 Product Brief austriamicrosystems Figure 2 – Application Diagram of AS3691 for RGB Lighting (single Module shown) VDDG VDDG VDDB VDDB VDDR VDDR Rvdd Cvdd 100nF UVG UVG UVB UVB UVR UVR VREG UV1 15 CURR1 UV2 1 20 22 AS3691 UV3 CURR2 17 Vc CURR3 UV4 13 8 10 Vc CURR4 5 Vc Vc D1 Ref T1 T2 I1 Overtemp I2 R1 21,Pad VSS 23 ON1 T3 I3 R2 2 24 RFB1 19 RES1 ON2 Ri1 I4 R3 16 18 RFB2 T4 11 RES2 ON3 Ri2 R4 14 12 RFB3 7 4 RES3 ON4 RFB4 Ri3 6 RES4 Ri4 VSS VSS PWMG PWMG PWMB PWMB PWMR PWMR Figure 3 – Complete AS3691 Application using White LEDs VDD Main supply DCDC Converter for VDD ... ...
