IS31FL3196
6-CHANNEL LIGHT EFFECT LED DRIVER
April 2012
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
IS31FL3196 is a 6-channel light effect LED driver
which features two-dimensional auto breathing mode
and an audio modulated display mode. It has One Shot
Programming mode and PWM Control mode for RGB
lighting effects. The maximum output current can be
adjusted in 8 levels (5mA~40mA).



In PWM Control mode, the PWM duty cycle of each
output can be independently programmed and
controlled in 256 steps to simplify color mixing. In One
Shot Programming mode, the timing characteristics for
output current - current rising, holding, falling and off
time, can be adjusted individually so that each output
can independently maintain a pre-established pattern
achieving mixing color breathing or a single color
breathing without requiring any additional interface
activity, thus saving valuable system resources.
The IS31FL3196 includes an audio modulated display
mode, wherein the brightness of LED can be
modulated by audio signal. There is a cascade pin for
the synchronization of two chips.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
I2C INTERFACE
The IS31FL3196 uses a serial bus, which conforms to
the I2C protocol, to control the chip’s functions with two
wires: SCL and SDA. The IS31FL3196 has a 7-bit slave
address (A7:A1), followed by the R/W bit, A0. Since
IS31FL3196 only supports write operations, A0 must
always be “0”. The value of bits A1 and A2 are decided
by the connection of the AD pin.
The complete slave address is:
Table 1 Slave Address (Write only):
Bit
A7:A3
A2:A1
A0
Value
11001
AD
0
AD connected to GND, AD = 00;
AD connected to VCC, AD = 11;
AD connected to SCL, AD = 01;
AD connected to SDA, AD = 10;
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 IS31FL3196.
The timing diagram for the I2C is shown in Figure 3.
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.
Figure 3
Figure 4
Integrated Silicon Solution, Inc. — www.issi.com
Rev.A, 03/27/2012
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.
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 IS31FL3196’s acknowledge. The
master releases the SDA line high (through a pull-up
resistor). Then the master sends an SCL pulse. If the
IS31FL3196 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.
Following acknowledge of IS31FL3196, the register
address byte is sent, most significant bit first.
IS31FL3196 must generate another acknowledge
indicating that the register address has been received.
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
IS31FL3196 must generate another acknowledge to
indicate that the data was received.
The “STOP” signal ends the transfer. To signal “STOP”,
the SDA signal goes high while the SCL signal is high.

TYPICAL APPLICATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SEMIAUTOMATIC BREATHING
IS31FL3196 is a 6-channel LED driver with
two-dimensional auto breathing and PWM Control
mode. It can drive nine LEDs or three groups RGB.
By setting the RGBx bits of the Configuration
Register1 (03h) to “1” and the RM bit of the Ramping
Mode Register (05h) to “1”, the ramping function is
enabled. HT is the time select bit. When HT bit is set to
“0”, T2 will be held forever, and the LED will remain at
the programmed maximum intensity. When HT bit is
set to “1”, T3 will continue and T4 will be held, causing
the LED to complete one breathing cycle and then
remain off.
PWM CONTROL
By setting the RGBx bits of the Configuration Register1
(03h) to “0”, the IS31FL3196 will operate in PWM
Control mode. The PWM Registers (07h~0Ch) can
modulate LED brightness of 6 channels with 256 steps.
For example, if the data in PWM Register is “0000
0100”, then the PWM is the fourth step.
Writing new data continuously to the registers can
modulate the brightness of the LEDs to achieve a
breathing effect.
RGB BREATHING CONTROL WITH AUTO COLOR
CHANGING
By setting the RGBx bits of the Configuration Register1
(03h) to “1”, the IS31FL3196 will operate in One Shot
Programming mode. In this mode each group RGB can
be modulated breathing cycle independently by T0~T4.
The full cycle is T1 to T4 (Figure 7). Setting different
T0~T4 can achieve RGB breathing with auto color
changing. The maximum intensity of each RGB can be
adjusted independently by the PWM Registers
(07h~0Ch).
Note, if IS31FL3196 operates in the One Shot
Programming mode and then enters into the shutdown
mode, an 8-bit data write operation to the Time Update
Register is required to restart the LED breathing effect
after the IC is re-enabled.
Figure 7
Breathing Timing
RGB AUTO BREATHING CONTROL WITH COLOR
SETTING
AUDIO MODULATE DISPLAY MODE WITH AGC
FUNCTION
In audio modulate display mode the output current can
be modulated by the audio input signal. An AGC
automatically adjusts the audio input gain to improve
the dynamic range of the LED current modulation, thus
improving the visual effect. When the input signal is
large such that the amplifier output begins to clip, the
gain goes down. If the input signal is small, the gain
increases, adjusting the output to provide a good
dynamic response to the input signal.
The AGC can be disabled and the audio gain can be
set by programming Configuration Register 1 (03h).
BREATHING MARK FUNCTION
By setting the BME bit of the Breathing Mark Register
(06h) to “1”, the breathing mark function is enabled.
The CLK/V_BM pin is used as V_BM. If the BME bit
sets to “0”, the breathing mark function disabled. The
CLK/V_BM pin is used as CLK. V_BM is an output pin.
The breathing mark function is useful as a signal to
notify the MCU when to update the color data. At the
end of time period T1, V_BM will induce a falling edge
and hold logic low, so the new data can be sent by
MCU at this time. At the end of T3, V_BM will induce a
rising edge and the MCU can send an update
command to update all data simultaneously (Figure 8).
The marking channel (OUT1~OUT6) is selected by the
CSS bits of the Breathing Mark Register (06h).
When IS31FL3196 operates as slave, the breathing
mark function is unavailable.
IS31FL3196 can pre-establish pattern achieving mixing
color breathing. There are three groups RGB. Each
RGB consists of three channels. Every channel has an
8-bit PWM data register. The color can be set by the
PWM data register. For example, there are three PWM
data: 20h, 80h, C8h, so the three data will determine a
kind of color.
After setting the color, T0~T4 time register will be set to
control the LED breathing panel. And T0~T4 time
should be same for one RGB or the pre-established
color will change.

CASCADE FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF CHIPS
SOFTWARE SHUTDOWN
Operating in the cascade mode can make two chips
synchronize (Figure 2). By setting the CM bit of
Configuration Register 2 (04h) to “0”, IS31FL3196
operates as a master. There are two pins (CLK, I_AUD)
for synchronization of chips. CLK pin can synchronize
the breathing and I_AUD pin can synchronize the audio
current.
By setting SSD bit of the Shutdown Register (00h) to
“0”, the IS31FL3196 will operate in software shutdown
mode, wherein they consume only 2μA (typ.) current.
When the IS31FL3196 is in software shutdown mode,
all current sources are switched off.
SHUTDOWN MODE
Shutdown mode can either be used as a means of
reducing power consumption or generating a flashing
display (repeatedly entering and leaving shutdown
mode). During shutdown mode all registers retain their
data.

HARDWARE SHUTDOWN
The chip enters hardware shutdown mode when the
