Four, the package and pin description


The chip is packaged in SOP16, and the pin functions include:
• OUTR/OUTG/OUTB/OUTW: Quad-channel PWM output
• REXT: external resistor to set the output current
• AI/BI: differential signal input
• DO: Decode Forward Output
• PORT0/PORT1: Field select pin for configuring output mode
Five, detailed technical advantages
5.1. Flexible output mode configuration.
Through the level setting of PORT0 and PORT1 pins, users can realize flexible configuration of 1~4 fields:
• 00:3 Field Mode (R/G/B)
• 01:4 field mode (R/G/B/W)
• 10:2 Field Mode (RG/BW)
• 11:1 field mode (RGBW merge)
In 1-field mode, four channels can be used in parallel, with a maximum output current of 240mA, meeting the needs of high-power monochrome applications.
CXLE87133AL1 the constant current characteristic is excellent, the current difference between channels and even between chips is extremely small.
(1) The current error between channels is less than ± 3℉, while the current error between chips is less than ± 3℉.
(2) When the load terminal voltage changes, the CXLE87133AL1 output current is not affected, as shown in the figure below.
(3) As CXLE87133AL1 in the following figure, the relationship between the current I of the output port and the voltage Vds applied to the port shows that the smaller the current I,
The Vds required in the state is also smaller.
5.2. Precise constant current output control
The output current is accurately set by the external resistor of REXT pin, and the formula is:
Users can set any current value in the range of 3mA ~ 60mA according to their needs to ensure that the brightness of each channel is consistent.
OUTR,OUTG,OUTB,OUTW are constant current output, the maximum current can reach 60mA, it is not recommended to set the current to a larger value application. Constant current
The current value is determined by the resistance of REXT to ground. Current formula:
Iout=48/(250 Rext) (1)
Rext=(48/Iout)-250 (2)
Rext is the resistor across the REXT pin and ground, and Iout is the current output from the OUTR,OUTG,OUTB,OUTW ports.
5.3. Reliable code writing and address management.
The chip supports online code writing, and the AI level higher than BI needs to be maintained during the code writing process. After the code is written successfully, the chip lights up and the blue light indicates that the new address will take effect immediately and there is no need to power on again. E² PROM with dual backup design, part of the memory damage does not affect the address read.
5.4. Powerful signal expansion capability
The 800Kbps return-to -0 code output from the DO port can directly drive a variety of 800Kbps rate IC, realizing long-distance transmission of signals and cascading of multiple devices, greatly expanding the system's load capacity.
5.5. Communication data protocol:
CXLE87133AL1 data reception is compatible with standard DMX512(1990) protocol and expanded DMX512 protocol, with data transmission rate of 200Kbps
500Kbps adaptive decoding. The protocol waveform is as follows: the chip is AI and BI differential input, and the timing waveform of the AI is drawn in the figure, BI
Contrary to AI
Note1: The field has 11 bits, including 0 start bit, 8 data bits and 2 stop bits. where the 0 start bit is low and the stop bit is high
Level, the data in the data bit is 0, the corresponding time period is low level; the data is 1, the corresponding time period is high level. 0 Start Bit
The bit duration of the stop bit and the data bit must be the same.
5.6. IC Reception Instructions:
1. When a reset signal appears on the AIBI line, the IC enters the receive ready state. Address counter clear 0.
2. The first field in the data packet is the starting field, and its 8-bit data must be "0000_0000", which is not used as display data. Use
The displayed valid fields start from the second field, and the second field of the DMX512 packet is the first field of valid data. IC Adaptive Number
According to the transmission rate is 200Kbps ~ 500Kbps. Different rates correspond to different field lengths, but regardless of whether the transmission frequency is 200Kbps or
500Kbps, as long as the duration of all valid fields is the same as the duration of the starting field.
3. The IC determines the corresponding field in the intercepted DMX512 packet according to its address in E2. If the chip address is 0000_0000_0000, from the data
The first valid field of the packet is intercepted, and the address 0000_0000_0001 is intercepted from the second valid field. How many fields the chip uses, by PT1
and PT0 settings.
The 1-field mode and 2-field mode in the above table can realize the function of expanding the flow, such as 1-field mode (generally monochrome application), can be.
The four output pins OUT/OUTR/OUTGB/OUTW are connected in parallel, and the maximum output current can reach 240mA. The above fields are selected as data forwarding
and flow expansion, when there is no need to expand the flow and in the case of point light application (no need to forward data), from monochrome to RGB three-color application.
Both PORT0 and PORT1 can be suspended.
4. When IC receives data, the interval between two reset signals cannot be less than 4ms, and the frame rate cannot be greater than even if the number of parallel connections is very small.
250Hz。
5.7. Precautions for controller sending data:
1. For the standard DMX512(1990) protocol, if one branch port of the controller is connected to 512 channels, that is, 170 pixels,
To achieve a refresh rate of 30Hz, then the time width of each frame is 33.33ms and the time for transmitting 1bit is 4μs, then the effective data time width is
88 4 μs * 11bit * 512=22.7ms, then the time interval between each frame of data is 33.33-22.7=10.63ms. In this time interval
The internal data line remains high until the next reset signal.
2. The reset signal code interval of each data packet of the CXLE87133 controller shall not be less than 4ms, I .e. the maximum frame frequency shall not be higher than 250Hz,
Otherwise, the screen may not be displayed normally.
5.8. Precautions for Code Writing:
1. In addition to the address writing terminal (PO), the code writer shall have terminals A and B. When writing codes, the AI and BI lines shall be connected to the terminals A and B of the code writer,
The A and B terminals of the code writer maintain the level of A high and B low when writing codes, and the IC can write codes normally only when the AI is high and BI is low.
2. After the code writing is completed, the IC that receives the new address code drives the blue light to be on, and the newly written address code takes effect.
3. Do not remove the AB line after the code writing is completed, and use the special test program provided by the code writer to test to confirm whether the code writing is complete.
Correct.
4. The address input line on the PO port of the code writer should be pulled out from the code writer after the code writing is completed, so as to avoid miswriting codes when the code writer is out of order. Write
After the code line is pulled out, it can be suspended and wrapped with insulating tape without special grounding.
5.9 differential bus connection considerations:
1. The common ground must be shared between the controller and the IC and between the IC to prevent excessive common mode voltage from breaking down the IC. The shielding layer can be used as the common ground wire.
By connecting multiple IC nodes and reliably grounding at one point, it is not possible to ground double-ended or multi-ended.
2. The protection resistance connected in series between the AI line and the BI line on the board and the IC must be the same, and the routing mode of the AIBI line on the board from the pad to the IC must be as one as possible.
To.
3.AI and BI buses use shielded twisted pair as much as possible (especially in the common project of strong and weak current wiring trunking, near the transmission tower or more lightning
area) to reduce interference and lightning shock. Use ordinary super 5 shielded twisted pair, but pay attention to the purchase of copper wire.
In the 4.485 bus, the distance between the 485 node and the trunk should be minimized, and it is generally recommended that the 485 bus use a hand-in-hand bus topology.
The star structure will produce reflected signals, which will affect the quality of 485 communication. If the distance between the 485 node and the 485 bus backbone must be required during the construction process
From more than 30cm distance, it is recommended to use 485 repeater to make a 485 bus fork. If star topology is required during construction
structure, a 485 hub should be used.
5.485 bus with the extension of the transmission distance, will produce echo reflection signal, if the transmission distance of the 485 bus is long, it is recommended that the construction
A 120 ohm terminal matching resistor is connected to the AI and BI lines at the end of the 485 communication.

(1) Selection of VDD voltage dividing resistor Rz
It is recommended to set VDD current to 10mA and VDD regulated to 5.2V, so Rz =(VCC-5.2)/0.01, for example, when VCC is equal to 24V,
From the formula, Rz takes the value 1.88 KΩ.
