EN input signal and LED drive current setting (disable interval)

The LED drive current setting due to EN input is set by the 4-bit counter (16 steps). On the 17th pulse, the

counter DATA

0mA and the LED drive circuit shuts down.

When both EN1 and EN2 are held LOW for an extended interval, the internal enable signal “CE” goes LOW

and the device enters power-save mode. In this mode, the EN input internal counter is reset and subsequent ris-

ing-edge pulses on EN restart the counter from DATA

= 1.

SEL inputs and LED control groups

The DIN1 to DIN6 6-channel LED drive pins can be divided into two groups of drive pins (EN1 control and

EN2 control drive pins) by the state of select inputs SEL1 and SEL2. Two groups with separate LED drive cur-

rent control using EN1 and EN2 allows a single device to independently adjust the backlight brightness of 2

screens. With a MODE 6:0 setting, EN2 is not used and should be connected to GND. Also, any unused DIN

LED drive pins should be connected to GND.
