AAT2830/31
800mA Total Display Solution
for Portable Devices
For example, to toggle between 1.7% and 25% of the
maximum backlight current on all LEDs, write Data =
14 to Address 3 and Data 4 to Address 0. To set BL1-
BL4 to 25% and BL5-BL6 to 0.2%, write Data = 5 to
Address 3, and Data = 4 to Address 2.

Backlight Independent Channel Control
(Address 15)
The AAT2830/31 can also individually control each
backlight channel. This mode allows the user to turn
on some or all of the channels in any desired com-
bination. This control is achieved by changing the
2
functionality of the AS Cwire registers. To enable
individual LED control mode, a user would write
Data 8 to Address 15. All channels that are enabled
must carry the same current, which is set using the
new functionality of Address 1 (see Table 2b).

In addition to the current levels set by Addresses 0,
1, and 2 (shown in Table 2a and Figure 1), there is
also a low backlight current level that can be set. To
set the low backlight current level, the user would
write data to Address 3, as shown in Table 3.
