Digital Static Control
The FAN5608’s digital decoder allows selection of the
following modes of operation: OFF, 5mA, 10mA, and
20mA per channel.
Analog Static Control
In Analog Mode, B1 and B2 inputs should be connected
to GND or “0” logic. A1 and A2 control the LED current
through an external resistor (R), as shown in Figure 4, or
an external voltage (V

PWM Control in Digital Dynamic Mode
In Digital Dynamic Mode, if inputs A1 and/or A2 are
externally driven by an open-drain output, the pull-up
resistance should be less than 10kΩ to ensure less than
0.7V dropout; VA > (V
level.
The logic level HIGH (VH) and logic level LOW (VL) of
the PWM signal should be:
(V
and
0 < VL < 0.6V.
The frequency of the PWM signal should be within the
50Hz to 1kHz range, by default, or 30kHz at any input if
the other input is kept HIGH.
PWM Control in Analog Dynamic Mode
In Analog Dynamic Mode, the logic level HIGH (VH) and
logic level LOW (VL) of the PWM signal should be:
VH = V
The frequency of the PWM signal should be in the range
from 50Hz to 1kHz. The V
maximum LED current, while the duty cycle of the PWM
signal sets the average current between 0mA and I
maximum.
Open-Circuit Protection
The FAN5608 has an internal over-voltage protection
mechanism that prevents damage to the IC in a no-load
condition. If CH1 and/or CH2 LEDs are enabled in an
open-circuit condition, FAN5608 automatically sets the
duty cycle to 25%. The output voltage can reach as high
as 50V at maximum V
capacitor’s rating, the output capacitor may be at risk in
this condition.
Shutdown Mode
Each channel can be independently disabled by
applying LOW logic level voltage to the appropriate A
and B inputs. When both channels are disabled, the
FAN5608 enters shutdown mode and the supply current
is reduced to less than 1μA.
