LED Lighting Status Register

The LED lighting status register (see

Section 7.22

) reports the state of LEDs and their controls. Status is reported for LED1

and LED2 flash events, indicating whether each LED is driven with current set by the flash setting. Likewise, status is
reported for LED1 and LED2 Movie Mode events, indicating whether each LED is driven with current set by the Movie
Mode setting. LED2 disable status is reported if FLOUT2 is used without an LED and is tied to ground, as shown in

Fig. 2-1

. The logic status of the signal input at FLEN and FLINH is reported. Flash timer events are reported.

4.10 Power Budgeting

Power budgeting is configured through

ILED_MNG

,

AUDIOGAIN_MNG

, and

VBOOST_MNG

(see

p. 38

), which set the

boost converter’s output mode and the load management mode, as described in

Section 4.10.1

Section 4.10.3

. Load

management consists of reducing audio or LED load, or both, as long as one of the following conditions exists:

• The boost converter output voltage has dropped, provided that the boost converter is configured for a fixed 5-V

Mode through VBOOST_MNG and the load current has settled to its target value.

• The boost converter is in current limit.
• An overtemperature warning (135°C) has occurred.

Power budgeting is configurable to be active automatically without user intervention, semiautomatically, or
nonautomatically, where the user controls audio and LED load management.

Fig. 4-8

shows power budgeting.

4.10.1 Audio-Only Operation

If only audio is operating, there are no power-budgeting concerns. As a default, the boost converter’s output voltage is
fixed in Bypass Mode (VBST = VP). The user can set

VBOOST_MNG

(see

p. 38

) to any of the nondefault modes for a

different boost behavior. Refer to

Section 4.3.1

.

4.10.2 LED-Only Operation

If only LEDs are operating, the user can select one the following courses of action:

• By clearing

ILED_MNG

(see

p. 38

), LED current is managed automatically. If the CS35L32 enters load

management mode due to a condition listed in

Section 4.10

, the current is iteratively reduced until the condition no

longer exists.

• By setting ILED_MNG, the user maintains full control over LED current.

As a default, the boost converter’s output voltage is fixed in Bypass Mode (VBST = VP). The user can set VBOOST_MNG
to any of the nondefault modes for a different boost behavior. In particular, if VBOOST_MNG = 00 or 01 and load power
consists of LEDs only, the CS35L32 adapts for low power dissipation by automatically reducing the LED driver voltage
(Vds) at pins FLOUT1 and FLOUT2 and by reducing the boost converter’s output voltage. Such operation increases boost
converter efficiency, lowers temperature rise in the CS35L32, and increases battery run time. If VBOOST_MNG is set to
10 or 11, the CS35L32 does not adapt for low-power dissipation because the boost voltage is fixed.
