16-BIT CONSTANT CURRENT LED DRIVER with SHIFT REGISTER AND LATCH
16-BIT CONSTANT CURRENT LED DRIVER with SHIFT REGISTER AND LATCH
DESCRIPTION
The M66503A is a constant current LED driver IC, whose
output current is variable. The IC’s functions include 16-bit
serial input/parallel output shift register with output latch.
The product uses Bi-CMOS process for highly accurate constant current driving, permitting high-efficiency LED driving
without using a resistor that limits LED current.
Settings for the LED drive current are made by an external resister, thereby ensuring a maximum output current of 30 mA,
enough for anode-common LED driving.
Furthermore, the pin configuration of the IC permits easier
wiring on a printed board.
FEATURES
• Anode-common LED driving
• Constant current output: Set to a value within a range between 0 and 30mA with an external resistor only.
Simultaneous lighting available.
• Pins (OE
A, OEB) provided for forced ON/OFF of LED drive
current.
• Greater noise margin: Total-input Schmitt circuit is employed to deal with longer wire lengths.
• Input/output CMOS compatible
• Serial data output provided (SQ15)
• 5V single power supply
• Pin configuration for easier wiring on printed board
APPLICATION
LED array drivers for display panel and printer. Other various
LED modules.
FUNCTION
The M66503A is a constant current LED driver for anodecommon LEDs. To set the LED driving current, an external
resistor is connected between the current setting input pin,
RC, and GND. In this way it is possible to set a highly accurate drive current. Each bit of the shift register is made up of a
flip-flop performing shift function and a latch connected to the
output. When the clock input pin, CK
S, goes from “L” to “H”,
data is shifted. Serial data is entered to the shift register via
the serial data input pin, A. Data on A is straight shifted. By
turning the latch enable input pin, LE, to “L”, the contents
stored in the shift register is latched. All outputs are turned of f
if the output enable input pins, OE
A and OEB, are simulta-
neously set to “L”. This function is useful for the prevention of
an excessive current flowing at the moment of power on. All
outputs are turned on if the OE
A pin is set to “H”. This enables
to check LEDs for failure. In these actions, changing the state
A and/or OEB does not affect the shift function. To ex-
of OE
pand the number of bits, link the M66503A in serial using the
serial data output pin, SQ15, which is the serial data output
of the shift register.
