EN/SET Serial Interface (S2Cwire™)
The current source output magnitude is controlled
by the EN/SET serial data interface. The interface
records rising edges of the EN/SET pin, and
decodes them into 32 individual current level set-
tings summarized in Table 1. The modulo 32 inter-
face wraps states back to state 1 after the 32nd
clock, so the previous state is achieved by clocking
the EN/SET pin 31 times. The counter can be
clocked at speeds up to 1MHz, so intermediate
states are not visible. The first rising edge of
EN/SET enables the IC and initially sets the output
LED current to 0. Once the final clock cycle is input
for the desired brightness level, the EN/SET pin is
held high to maintain the device output current at
the programmed level. The device is disabled
500µs after the EN/SET pin transitions to a logic
low state. The EN/SET timing is designed to
accommodate a wide range of data rates. After the
first rising edge of EN/SET, the charge pump is
enabled and reaches full capacity after the soft
start time (tSS). During the soft start time, multiple
clock pulses may be entered on the EN/SET pin to
set the final output current level with a single burst
of clocks. Alternatively, the EN/SET clock pulses
may be entered one at a time to gradually increase
the LED brightness over any desired time period. A
constant current is sourced as long as EN/SET
remains in a logic high state. The current source
outputs are switched off after EN/SET has
remained in a low state for at least the tOFF timeout
period.
