LP5521YQ/NOPB programmable LED driver
The LP5521YQ/NOPB is a programmable 9-channel LED driver from Texas Instruments, designed for advanced lighting control in IoT devices, wearables, and automotive interior lighting. This I²C-configurable IC features individual 8-bit PWM control per channel, enabling 16 million color mixing with smooth dimming transitions (0.1% resolution). Its integrated charge pump supports 1x/1.5x/2x modes, efficiently driving LEDs (up to 25mA/channel) from 2.7V to 5.5V inputs while maintaining 85% peak efficiency. The auto-incrementing sequencer engine executes standalone lighting patterns (stored in 16-step program memory) without host intervention, ideal for battery-powered smart tags, gaming peripherals, and HMI status indicators.
The LP5521YQFN/NOPB includes adaptive current scaling to compensate for LED forward voltage variations, ensuring consistent brightness across temperature. Packaged in a 24-pin WQFN (4mm×4mm), it features ±8kV ESD protection and operates from -40°C to +85°C, suitable for automotive ambient lighting and industrial panel displays. Texas Instruments provides Lighting Designer GUI for real-time pattern prototyping, accelerating development for dynamic RGB lighting, biometric feedback UIs, and retail signage.
