Abstract
Description
トランジスタM12はトランジスタM11とゲートおよびソースがそれぞれ共通に接続され、カレントミラー回路を形成する。トランジスタM12には、定電流Icに比例した定電流Ic1が流れる。
独立駆動モードでは、各チャンネルの駆動ユニットDRV1~DRV8のトランジスタM14のオン、オフが、独立して制御される。
並列駆動モードでは、偶数チャンネルの駆動ユニットDRV2、DRV4、DRV6、DRV8はそれぞれ、隣接する奇数番目の駆動ユニットDRV1、DRV3、DRV5、DRV7と同期してスイッチングする。つまり、パルス信号PWM2、PWM4、PWM6、PWM8はそれぞれ、PWM1、PWM3、PWM5、PWM7と同じデューティ比に設定される。
輝度に応じたデューティ比を有するパルス信号PWM1~PWM8は、第2オシレータ68により生成されるクロック信号PWMCLKを利用して行われる。クロック信号PWMCLKの周波数は、600Hz程度に設定される。
チップセレクト信号CPUCSがハイレベルに遷移した直後のデータCPUDIの1ビット目がハイレベルのとき、リードサイクルに設定される。続く6ビットA5~A0がアクセス先のアドレスを示す。9サイクル目以降、指定されたアドレスのデータD7~D0が、データCPUDOとして伝送される。
ロジック部64は10ビットのカウンタを備え、輝度設定データPWMLED1が示すカウント値をカウントするまでの期間、パルス信号PWM1をトランジスタM14がオンするレベルに設定し、残りのカウント期間の間、トランジスタM14がオフするレベルに設定する。つまり、輝度設定データPWMLED1がオール0のとき、パルス信号PWM1のデューティ比は0/1024となり、輝度設定データPWMLED1がオール1のとき、パルス信号PWM1のデューティ比は1023/1024となる。
