The E522.48 is a multi-channel PWM driver for e.g. light application. It provides 16 current sinks with integrated 10bit PWM generator for each channel. Each of the drivers can digitally be configured to drive up to 100mA with a selectable slew rate. The device supports I²C bus controlled operation to enable fast light animation sequences. For failsafe conditions the device provides internal non-volatile memory to store channel individual current and duty cycle information for highest flexibility. An advanced device power management feature allows LED channel bundling with automatic current balancing to external resistors resulting in reduced device power dissipation. Various diagnostic features, like LED open, short condition detection and temperature sensor, are provided to meet automotive requirements. To protect the device from thermal damage, the device implements a configurable LED supply and device temperature dependent automatic LED current derating.
