LP5812: LP5812/LP5810

Tool/software:

How to set the LP5810 to direct drive mode with manual control or auto control? Does the direct drive mode refer to the analog dimming mode?

I tried the settings below, but the LED light does not turn on. I am sure the register configuration was successful (read and write are normal).

  1. Enable the device : Set chip_en = 1h (Write 01h to register<0x000>)
  2. Set LED drive mode as direct drive mode : Set led_mode = 0h (Write 00h to register<0x002>)
  3. Send Update command to complete configuration setting above (Write 55h to register<0x010>)
  4. Enable all 4 LEDs : Set LED_en = 1h (Write 0Fh to register<0x020>)
  5. Set 5mA peak current for all LEDs in manual_mode : Set manual_dc = 32h (Write 32h to register<0x030~0x033>)

Even when working in direct drive mode (analog dimming), is it necessary to set the PWM duty cycle in register<0x040~0x043>)
