GM6486
33 OUTPUT LED DRIVER
General Description
The GM6486 is a monolithic MOS integrated circuit
produced with high voltage CMOS technology. It is
available in a 40-pin dual in-line plastic package. A
sin-gle pin controls the LED display brightness by
setting a reference current through a variable
resistor connect-ed to VDD or to a separated supply
of 13.2V maximum.

Note: 1. With a fixed resistor on the brightness input, some variation in brightness will occur from one device
to another.
2. Absolute maximum for each output should be limited to 40 mA.
3. The
o
V voltage should be regulated by the user. See figures 6 and 7 for allowable oV versus oI
operation.
4. Output matching is calculated as the percent variation (lmax+lmin)/2.

Functional Description
The GM6486 is specifically designed to operate 4 digit displays with minimal interface with the display and the
data source. Serial data transfer from the data source to the display driver is accomplished with 3 signals, serial
data, clock and load.
The 33 data bits are latched by a positive pulse, thus providing non-multiplexed direct drive to the display.
Outputs change only if the serial data bits differ from the previous time. Display brightness is determined by control of the output current of LED drivers. A 1nF capacitor should be connected to brightness control, pin 19, to
prevent possible oscillation. A block diagram is shown in figure 1.
The output current is typically 20 times greater than the current into pin 19, which is set by an external variable resistor.
There is an internal limiting resistor of 400 Ω nominal value.
Figure 2 and 3 show the input data format. Bit “1” is the first bit into the data input pin and it will appear on pin
17. A logical “1” at the input will turn on the appropriate LED. The LOAD signal latches the 33 bit of the shift
registers into the latches. The data out pin allows for cascading the shift registers for more than 33 output drivers.
When power is first applied to the chip an internal power ON reset signal is generated which resets all registers
and all latches.
The first clock return the chip to its normal operation.
Figure 4 shows the timing relationship between data, clock and load.
A max clock frequency of 0.5MHz is assumed.
For applications where less number of outputs are used, it is possible to either increase the current per output or
operate the part at higher than 1V
