# IS31FL3743A Driver {#is31fl3743a-driver}

I²C 18x11 LED matrix driver by Lumissil. Supports a maximum of four drivers, each controlling up to 198 single-color LEDs, or 66 RGB LEDs.

[IS31FL3743A Datasheet](https://www.lumissil.com/assets/pdf/core/IS31FL3743A_DS.pdf)

## Usage {#usage}

The IS31FL3743A driver code is automatically included if you are using the [LED Matrix](../features/led_matrix) or [RGB Matrix](../features/rgb_matrix) feature with the `is31fl3743a` driver set, and you would use those APIs instead.

However, if you need to use the driver standalone, add this to your `rules.mk`:

```make
COMMON_VPATH += $(DRIVER_PATH)/led/issi
SRC += is31fl3743a-mono.c # For single-color
SRC += is31fl3743a.c # For RGB
I2C_DRIVER_REQUIRED = yes
```

## Basic Configuration {#basic-configuration}

Add the following to your `config.h`:

### I²C Addressing {#i2c-addressing}

The IS31FL3743A has 16 possible 7-bit I²C addresses, depending on how the `ADDR1` and `ADDR2` pins are connected.

To configure this, set the `IS31FL3743A_I2C_ADDRESS_n` defines to one of the following in your `config.h`, where *n* denotes the driver index:

|Define                           |Value |
|---------------------------------|------|
|`IS31FL3743A_I2C_ADDRESS_GND_GND`|`0x20`|
|`IS31FL3743A_I2C_ADDRESS_GND_SCL`|`0x21`|
|`IS31FL3743A_I2C_ADDRESS_GND_SDA`|`0x22`|
|`IS31FL3743A_I2C_ADDRESS_GND_VCC`|`0x23`|

|`IS31FL3743A_I2C_ADDRESS_VCC_VCC`|`0x2F`|

### Multi-Driver Synchronization {#multi-driver-synchronization}

Multiple IS31FL3743A drivers can be synchronized by connecting the `SYNC` pins together. One driver must be designated as the "master", and the others configured as "slave".

To do this, set the `IS31FL3743A_SYNC_n` defines accordingly in your `config.h`, where *n* denotes the driver index:

|Define                   |Value                      |
|-------------------------|---------------------------|
|`IS31FL3743A_SYNC_NONE`  |No synchronization         |
|`IS31FL3743A_SYNC_MASTER`|Driver configured as master|
|`IS31FL3743A_SYNC_SLAVE` |Driver configured as slave |

### De-Ghosting {#de-ghosting}

These settings control the pulldown and pullup resistor values on the `SWy` and `CSx` pins respectively, for the purposes of eliminating ghosting. Refer to the datasheet (p. 23) for more information on how and why this occurs.

To adjust the resistor values, add the following to your `config.h`:

```c
#define IS31FL3743A_SW_PULLDOWN IS31FL3743A_PDR_2K_OHM_SW_OFF
#define IS31FL3743A_CS_PULLUP IS31FL3743A_PUR_2K_OHM_CS_OFF
```

Valid values for `IS31FL3743A_SW_PULLDOWN` are:

|Define                          |Resistance                    |
|--------------------------------|------------------------------|
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_0_OHM`         |None (default)                |
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_0K5_OHM_SW_OFF`|0.5 kΩ in SWx off time        |
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_1K_OHM_SW_OFF` |1 kΩ in SWx off time          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_2K_OHM_SW_OFF` |2 kΩ in SWx off time (default)|
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_1K_OHM`        |1 kΩ                          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_2K_OHM`        |2 kΩ                          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_4K_OHM`        |4 kΩ                          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PDR_8K_OHM`        |8 kΩ                          |

Valid values for `IS31FL3743A_CS_PULLUP` are:

|Define                          |Resistance                    |
|--------------------------------|------------------------------|
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_0_OHM`         |None (default)                |
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_0K5_OHM_CS_OFF`|0.5 kΩ in CSy off time        |
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_1K_OHM_CS_OFF` |1 kΩ in CSy off time          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_2K_OHM_CS_OFF` |2 kΩ in CSy off time (default)|
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_1K_OHM`        |1 kΩ                          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_2K_OHM`        |2 kΩ                          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_4K_OHM`        |4 kΩ                          |
|`IS31FL3743A_PUR_8K_OHM`        |8 kΩ                          |

### Global Current Control {#global-current-control}

This setting controls the current sunk by the `CSy` pins, from 0 to 255. By default, the value is the maximum (255), but if you need to lower it, add the following to your `config.h`:

```c
#define IS31FL3743A_GLOBAL_CURRENT 0xFF
```

## ARM/ChibiOS Configuration {#arm-configuration}

Depending on the ChibiOS board configuration, you may need to [enable and configure I²C](i2c#arm-configuration) at the keyboard level.

## LED Mapping {#led-mapping}

In order to use this driver, each output must be mapped to an LED index, by adding the following to your `<keyboard>.c`:

```c
const is31fl3743a_led_t PROGMEM g_is31fl3743a_leds[IS31FL3743A_LED_COUNT] = {
/* Driver
 *   |  R         G         B */
    {0, SW1_CS1,  SW1_CS2,  SW1_CS3},
    // etc...
};
```

In this example, the red, green and blue channels for the first LED index on driver 0 all have their anodes connected to the `SW1` pin, and their cathodes on the `CS1`, `CS2` and `CS3` pins respectively.

For the single-color driver, the principle is the same, but there is only one channel:

```c
const is31fl3743a_led_t PROGMEM g_is31fl3743a_leds[IS31FL3743A_LED_COUNT] = {
/* Driver
 *   |  V */
    {0, SW1_CS1},
    // etc...
};
```

These values correspond to the register indices as shown in the datasheet on page 12, figure 8.
