LTC3208
High Current Software
Configurable Multidisplay
LED Controller
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3208 is a highly integrated multidisplay LED
controller. The part contains a 1A high efficiency, low noise
charge pump to provide power to the MAIN, SUB, RGB, CAM
and AUX LED displays. The LTC3208 requires only small
ceramic capacitors and one current set resistor to form a
complete LED power supply and current controller.
The maximum display currents are set by a single ex-
ternal resistor. Current for each LED is controlled by a
precision internal current source. Dimming and On/Off
for all displays is achieved via the I
2
C serial interface.
256 brightness levels are available for the MAIN and SUB
displays. 16 levels are available for the RGB and CAM
displays. Four AUX current sources can be independently
assigned via the I
2
C port to the CAM, SUB, MAIN or AUX
DAC controlled displays.
The LTC3208 charge pump optimizes efficiency based
on the voltage across the LED current sources. The part
powers up in 1x mode and will automatically switch to
boost mode whenever any enabled LED current source
begins to enter dropout. The first dropout switches the
part into 1.5x mode and a subsequent dropout switches
the LTC3208 into 2x mode. The part is available in a small
5mm
×
5mm 32-lead QFN package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the
MTBF of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Based on long-term current density limitations. Assumes an
operating duty cycle of ≤10% under absolute maximum conditions for
durations less than 10 seconds. Max charge pump current for continuous
operation is 500mA.
Note 3:
Based on long-term current density limitations.
Note 4:
The LTC3208E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C ambient
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls.
