Abstract: An LED controller application specific integrated circuit includes a host interface and a PWM module. The PWM module is configured to control a plurality of LED devices, and comprises a PWM data buffer, an arithmetic core and a plurality of PWM channels. The PWM data buffer is configured to store PWM turning-point data from the host. The arithmetic core is configured to generate PWM data according to the PWM turning-point data stored in the PWM data buffer. The plurality of PWM channels are configured to receive the PWM data, and each comprises a PWM controller and a PWM I/O interface. The PWM controller is configured to control the operation of the PWM channel. The PWM I/O interface is configured to connect to an LED device.

Abstract: A power supply layout for an integrated circuit has a plurality of power pads, a plurality of ground pads, a plurality of first-type conductive wires directly connected to the power pad, a plurality of second-type conductive wires directly connected to the ground pad, and a core circuit electrically connected to the first-type and the second-type conductive wires for acquiring the operational power. The integrated circuit is made of a plurality of metal layers, wherein the first-type conductive wire and the second-type conductive wire are positioned at different metal layers. The power pad is positioned at the same metal layer as the first-type conductive wire, while the ground pad is positioned at the same metal layer as the second-type conductive wire.
