OPERATIO
Unused MAIN or SUB Display LED Pins
Any of the six white LED pins (MAIN1-MAIN4, SUB1 and
SUB2) can cause the LTC3205 to switch from 1:1 mode to
2:3 charge pump mode if they drop out. If an unused LED
pin is left unconnected or grounded, it will automatically
drop out and force the LTC3205 into charge pump mode.
To avoid this problem, unused LED pins on the MAIN and
SUB displays should be connected to CPO. However, power
is not wasted in this configuration. When the LED pin voltage
is within approximately 1V of CPO, its LED current is
switched off and only a small 10 A test current remains.
Figure 4 shows a block diagram of each of the MAIN and
SUB LED pins. The RED, GREEN and BLUE pins do not affect
the state of the charge pump so they can be left floating or
grounded if unused.
RGB Illuminator Drivers
The red, green and blue LEDs can be individually set to
have a duty cycle ranging from 0/15 (off) to 15/15 (full on)
with 1/15 increments in between. The combination of 16
possible brightness levels gives the RGB indicator LED a

Interfacing to a Microcontroller
The serial port of the LTC3205 can be connected directly
to an MC68HC11 style microcontroller’s serial port. The
microcontroller should be configured as the master device
and its clock’s idle state should be set to high (MSTR = 1,
CPOL = 1 and CPHA = 1 for the MC68HC11 family).
Figure 5 shows the recommended configuration and
directon of data flow. Note that an additional I/O line is

red, green and blue LEDs.
The full-scale currents in the red, green and blue LEDs are
controlled by the current at the I

multiple of the I
