• Manufacturer Part Number: ncp5623
• Description: Triple Output Rgb Led Driver With I2c Control
• Manufacturer: ON Semiconductor

*Note: according to the I2C specifications, the physical address is based on 7 bits out of the SDA byte, the 8
10. The programmed current applies to the three LED simultaneously, the gradual dimming is not engaged
11. The bit values represent the steps count, not the ILED current: see equations 1 & 2, page 7, to derive the ILED value.
GRADUAL DIMMING
Decrease the brightness of the backlight LED upon
command from the external MCU. The function is activated
and controlled by means of the I2C protocol.
level, the period (either upward or downward) is equal to the
time defined for each step, multiplied by the number of
steps.
information:
1 – The target current level (either upward or downward)
2 – The time per step

Table 1. Internal Register Bits Assigment
Since the NCP5623 is a receiver only, the R/W command is 0 and the hexadecimal byte send by the MCU is %0111 0000 = $70

The contain of bits B[4:0] depends upon the type of function selected by bits B[7:5] as depicted in Table 1
The purpose of that function is to gradually Increase or
In order to avoid arithmetic division functions at silicon
To operate such a function, the MCU will provide three

3 – The Upward or Downward mode of operation
output current increases, according to an exponential curve,
from the existing start value to the end value. The end current
value is defined by the contain of the Upward or Downward
registers, the width of each step is defined by the third
register, the number of step being in the 1 to 30 range. In the
event of software error, the system checks that neither the
maximum output current (30 mA), nor the zero level are
forced out of their respective bounds. Similarly, software
errors shall not force the NCP5623 into an uncontrolled
mode of operation.
