1. General description
The PCU9654 is a UFm I²C-bus controlled 8-bit LED driver optimized for voltage switch
dimming and blinking 100 mA Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) LEDs. Each LED output
has its own 8-bit resolution (256 steps) fixed frequency individual PWM controller that
operates at 97 kHz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 % to 99.6 % to allow the
LED to be set to a specific brightness value. An additional 8-bit resolution (256 steps)
group PWM controller has both a fixed frequency of 190 Hz and an adjustable frequency
between 24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0 %
to 99.6 % that is used to either dim or blink all LEDs with the same value.
Each LED output can be off, on (no PWM control), set at its individual PWM controller
value or at both individual and group PWM controller values. The PCU9654 operates with
a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V and the 100 mA open-drain outputs allow
voltages up to 40 V for LED supply.
The PCU9654 is one of the first LED controller devices in a new Ultra Fast-mode (UFm)
family. UFm devices offer higher frequency (up to 5 MHz).
The active LOW Output Enable input pin (OE) blinks all the LED outputs and can be used
to externally PWM the outputs, which is useful when multiple devices need to be dimmed
or blinked together without using software control.
Software programmable LED Group and three Sub Call I²C-bus addresses allow all or
defined groups of PCU9654 devices to respond to a common I²C-bus address, allowing
for example, all red LEDs to be turned on or off at the same time, thus minimizing I²C-bus
commands. Six hardware address pins allow up to 64 devices on the same bus.
The Software Reset (SWRST) Call allows the master to perform a reset of the PCU9654
through the I²C-bus, identical to the Power-On Reset (POR) that initializes the registers to
their default state causing the outputs to be set HIGH (LED off). This allows an easy and
quick way to reconfigure all device registers to the same condition.
