Introduction
The SP768 is a linear low-side, constant-
current driver designed to drive high power
LEDs from an input voltage rail. The design
consists of a regulator reference voltage
source, DAC, voltage-to-current converter,
thermal shutdown, timeout shutdown, and
outputdriver.Theprecisionreferencevoltage
ensuresgoodperformanceovervoltageand
temperature. The built-in thermal protection
automatically stops LED current to prevent
overheating. A timeout function serves as
a failsafe, shutting down the output for cur-
rents greater than 266mA after 4 seconds
of continuous operation if the enable input
is not cycled.
Current Setting DAC
The LED output current is defined by a cur-
rent control DAC. The input to the DAC is the
CTRL pin. The DAC outputs a unit current
of 33.33mA with each applied pulse at the
CTRL pin. The DAC has 5 bits, so the total
number of steps that can be achieved is 25 or
32. The initial step of the DAC corresponds
to zero, so the maximum current output is 3
times the unit current. Any multiple of the
33.33mA output current can be achieved
from  to 3 sequentially.
The DAC CTRL input is positive-edge trig-
gered and may be either at high or low logic
state when the part is powered up. The EN-
ABLE pin logic HIGH level may be applied
with Vcc voltage.
The CTRL input allows an increase in LED
current only. If a lower Iled current value
is required, the device should be sent into
shutdown mode (EN =HIGH to LOW/LOW
to HIGH) and a new pulse sequence should
be applied to the CTRL pin.
If the pulse number exceeds 3, all other
pulses are ignored and 033 mA current
is set.
The SP768 can be placed into Sleep Mode
by applying a logic LOW on the CTRL pin for
longer than 00µs after any pulse sequence.
In the Sleep Mode, the driver is disabled and
Iled current is zero, but blocks associated
with the DAC remain active, and Icc Sleep
Mode Current is always higher than Icc
current in Shutdown Mode. This function is
used to output the Iled current for a speci-
fied duration.
If the Iledcurrent exceeds 266 mA(8 pulses)
the maximum Time Duration is 4s. After
that, the device is automatically sent into
Sleep Mode. This function is intended to
protect the LED if, for example, the device
was left on in a high current condition for a
long period of time.

increasetheIledcurrentat33.3mAmultiplied
by the number of pulses.To return the device
to the previous or lower Iled current value,
use Shutdown (EN =HIGH to LOW/LOW to
HIGH) and apply a new pulse sequence to
the CTRL pin.
The current control DAC accepts clock rates
up to 4MHz. The code for the DAC loads

This implies that the LED output current will
reach its final value 50µs after the final pulse
is applied to the CTRL pin.
