  This application note illustrates how to program and use the unique features of the LTC3220/LTC3220-1 Universal LED (ULED) Driver. These features include individually controlling, gradually turning on and off, or blinking up to 18 LEDs. This device may also be used to provide digital signal(s) to other devices while in shutdown using a strong pull-down general purpose output (GPO) and an external power source. Current limited GPO mode may also be used to control other devices using the charge pump output (CPO) of the device or an external supply. A programmable shutdown feature allows the device to go into and out of shutdown returning to its pre-shutdown state. These features give the user vast flexibility and control of LEDs and other devices while saving memory space, programming time, I2C traffic, and even battery power.
