DESCRIPTION
The LP3950 is a color LED driver with a built-in audio
synchronization feature for any analog audio input
such as polyphonic ring tones and MP3 music. LEDs
can be synchronized to an audio signal with two
methods - amplitude and frequency. Also several fine
tuning options are available for differentiation
purposes. The chip also has an unique AGC
(Automatic Gain Control) feature which tracks the
input signal level and automatically adjusts the gain
to an optimal value.
The LP3950 has a high efficiency magnetic DC/DC
converter with programmable output voltage and
switching frequency. The converter has high output
current capability so it is also able to drive flash LEDs
in camera phone applications.
The LP3950 is similar to LP3933 and LP3936 in that
the color LEDs (or RGB LEDs) can also be
programmed to generate light patterns
(programmable color, intensity, on/off timing, slope
and blinking cycle).
All functions are software controllable through a SPI
or I2C compatible interface but the device also
supports one pin control for enabling predefined
(default) audio synchronization mode.
