OPERATION
Inside the part, there are one 194-bit shift register
SR[0:193], one 1-bit frame select (FS) register, one 1-bit
enable LED channel (EN) register, sixteen 12-bit grayscale
(GS) registers, sixteen 6-bit dot correction (DC) registers,
one 1-bit over temperature (OT) flag register, and sixteen
1-bit LED fault flag registers. The input of the 194-bit shift
register, i.e., the input of the first bit SR[0], is connected
to the SDI signal. The output of the 194-bit shift register,
i.e., the output of the last bit SR[193] is connected to the
SDO signal. The SCKI signal shifts the SDI frame (GS or DC
frame) in and the SCKO signal shift the SDO frame (status
frame) out of the 194-bit shift register with their rising
edges. The LDI high signal latches the SDI frame (GS
or
DC frame) from the 194-bit shift register into correspond-
ing FS, EN, GS or DC registers, and loads the SDO frame
(status frame) from the OT and LED fault flag registers
to the 194-bit shift register at the same time. Therefore, a
daisy-chain type loop communication with simultaneous
writing and reading capability is implemented.
Figure 3 illustrates the timing relation among serial input
and serial
output signals in more detail. One DC frame fol-
lowed by another GS frame is sent through the LDI, SCKI,
and SDI signals. At the same time, two status frames are
received through the SCKO and SDO signals. The rising
edges of the SCKI signal shift a frame of 194-bit data at
