Diodes Incorporated AL5887 36-Channel Linear LED Driver

With I2C/SPI and diagnostics to simplify RGB LED lighting

The Diodes Incorporated AL5887 is a 36-channel, linear current LED driver using SPI or I2C for a wide and dynamic range of programmable LED currents.

Each channel has an internal 12-bit PWM for color and brightness control, making it ideal for up to 12 RGB LED modules or 36 single-color LED lighting applications.

The device has built-in programmable registers, with three programmable banks (A, B, C) for software control of each color. This enables users to easily customize the device to accommodate the following functions:

  • Independent color-mixing register per channel
  • Independent brightness control register per RGB module
  • 3-bit dithering function to enhance the PWM resolution
  • Pre-UVLO (undervoltage lockout) and pre-OTP (overtemperature protection) warning to pull fault-pin low for early system protection

The AL5887 automatically enters its power saving mode of 15μA (max) when all LEDs are off for >30ms. The device is available in the wettable W-QFN6060-52/SWP package.

The SPI/I2C AL5887 provides precise adjustment of brightness and color in commercial and industrial applications.
