IS31FL3236/IS31FL3236A is comprised of 36 constant
current channels each with independent PWM control,
designed for driving LEDs. The output current of each
channel can be set at up to 38mA (Max.) by an
external resistor and independently scaled by a factor
of 1, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4. The average LED current of
each channel can be changed in 256 steps by
changing the PWM duty cycle through an I2C
interface.
Features
• 2.7V to 5.5V supply
• I2C interface,automatic address increment
function
• Internal reset register
• Modulate LED brightness with 256 steps PWM
• Each channel can be controlled independently
• Each channel can be scaled independently by
• QFN-44 (5mm × 5mm) package
Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
• 5.0V, 2A power supply
Absolute Maximum Ratings
• ≤ 5.5V power supply
Caution: Do not exceed the conditions listed above, otherwise
the board will be damaged.
Procedure
The IS31FL3236/IS31FL3236A evaluation board is
fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps listed
below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections
are completed.
1) Connect the ground terminal of the power supply
to the GND and the positive terminal to the VCC.
Or connect the DC power to the connector (DC
IN).
2) Turn on the power supply and pay attention to the
supply current. If the current exceeds 1.2A,
please check for circuit fault.
3) Enter the desired mode of display by toggling the
MODE button.

Evaluation Board Operation
The IS31FL3236/IS31FL3236A evaluation board has
six display modes. Press MODE button to switch
configurations.
1) (Default mode) The 12 RGB LEDs in the middle of
the bard show a color changing light bar moving
pattern.
2) Two groups of blue LED on above display a tailing
effect move from right to left.
3) Two groups of blue LED on above display a tailing
effect move in opposite directions.
4) Blue LED on above perform timer display.
5) Two groups of blue LED on above flash together
from two sides to middle and then turn off slowly
from both sides to middle.
6) The blue LEDs on above are put into four ‘8’ digits
and to show a twist effect.
*Note:
IS31FL3236/IS31FL3236A solely controls the FxLED function on
the evaluation board.

Software support
JP1 default setting is close circuit. If it is set to open,
the on-board MCU will stop working. The I2C pins are
set to High Impedance. External I2C signals can be
connected to TP3 to control the IS31FL3236 LED
driver.
