Q: DCI used as current limiters?

All,

Conscious original intent of DCI: Our application involves driving 76 discrete LEDs using a XC3S50. For cost reasons, we've decided to drive each LED statically (as opposed to scanning). Each IO is operating at LVDCI_33.

Can we use DCI to current limit (~430 ohm) the LEDs? It looks like LVDCI_33 is driver impedance controlled only, so the 3S50 will be a current source. VCCO is 3.3V.

Any comments / experience is appreciated.

Gordon,

Sure, this will work.

Just remember that the power is then dissipated internally in the IO transistors.
