3-Channel RGB LED Driver
General Description
The SN3101 is a constant current LED driver featuring
One Shot Programming Mode and Interface Intensity
Control Mode for RGB lighting effects.
Each output of the SN3101 is a constant current sink
pulse width modulated in 256 steps, featuring One Shot
Programming Mode and Interface Intensity Control
Mode for RGB lighting effects. The output current is
user selectable to be one of 5 levels, 17.5mA, 30.9mA,
42.1mA, 48.2mA or 71.9mA (Typ.). At 42.1mA the
SN3101 outputs require only 0.42V of headroom
voltage.
In One Shot Programming Mode, the timing
characteristics for output current - current rising, holding,
falling and off time, can be adjusted individually so that
each output can independently maintain a pre-established
pattern without requiring any additional interface activity,
thus saving valuable system resources.
In Interface Intensity Control Mode, the PWM duty
cycle of each output can be independently programmed
and controlled in 256 steps to simplify color mixing.
