Figure 1: Addresses 0-2 Backlight Current Level.
Low Backlight Current (Address 3)
In addition to the current levels set by Addresses 0,
1, and 2 (shown in Table 2a and Figure 1), there is
also a low backlight current level that can be set. To
set the low backlight current level, the user would
write data to Address 3, as shown in Table 3.
For example, to toggle between 1.7% and 25% of the
maximum backlight current on all LEDs, write Data =
14 to Address 3 and Data 4 to Address 0. To set BL1-
BL4 to 25% and BL5-BL6 to 0.2%, write Data = 5 to
Address 3, and Data = 4 to Address 2.

Backlight Independent Channel Control
(Address 15)
The AAT2833/34 can also individually control each
backlight channel. This mode allows the user to turn
on some or all of the channels in any desired com-
bination. This control is achieved by changing the
functionality of the AS²Cwire registers. To enable
individual LED control mode, a user would write
Data 8 to Address 15. All channels that are enabled
must carry the same current, which is set using the
new functionality of Address 1 (see Table 2b).
