Description
The STP16DPPS05 is a monolithic, low voltage,
low current power 16-bit shift register designed for
LED panel displays. The device features a 16-bit
serial-in, parallel-out shift register that feeds a
16-bit D-type storage register. In the output stage,
sixteen regulated current sources are designed to
provide 3 to 40 mA of constant current to drive the
LEDs. The STP16DPPS05 features open and
short LED detection on the outputs. The detection
circuit checks for 3 different conditions that can
occur on the output line: short to GND, short to V
or open line.
The data detection results are loaded in the shift
registers and shifted out via the serial line output.
Table 1.Device summary
O
QSOP-24
TSSOP24
The detection functionality is implemented without
increasing the pin count, through a secondary
function of the output enable and latch pin (DM1
and DM2 respectively). A dedicated logic
sequence allows the device to enter or exit from
detection mode. The STP16DPPS05 output
current can be adjusted through an external
resistor to control the light intensity of the LEDs.
LED brightness is adjustable from 0% to 100% via
the OE/DM2
pin.
The auto power-shutdown and auto power-ON
feature allows the device to save power with no
external intervention.
The STP16DPPS05 guarantees a 20 V output
driving capability, allowing users to connect more
LEDs in series. The high 30 MHz clock frequency
makes the device suitable for high data rate
transmission. The 3.3 V supply is well suited for
applications which interface a 3.3 V MCU.
Compared to a standard TSSOP package, the
TSSOP with exposed pad increases heat
dissipation capability by a factor of 2.5

1. In order to achieve high cascade data transfer, please consider tr/tf timings carefully.
After these five CLK cycles, the device goes into “error detection mode” and at the rising
edge of the 6th CLK cycle, the SDI data are ready for sampling.

STP16DPPS05Error detection mode functionality
7.2 Phase two: error detection
The 16 data bits must be set to “1” in order for all the outputs to be ON during error
detection. The data are latched by LE/DM1, after which the outputs are ready for the
detection process. When the microcontroller switches the OE/DM2
drives the LEDs to analyze if an OPEN or SHORT condition has occurred.
Figure 19. Detection diagram
to LOW, the device
The status of the LEDs is detected in at least 1 microsecond, and after this period the
microcontroller sets OE/DM2
to HIGH state and the output data detection result is sent to
the microcontroller via SDO.
Error detection mode and normal mode both use the same data format. As soon as all the
detection data bits are available on the serial line, the device may return to normal mode of
operation. To re-detect the status, the device must first return to normal mode and reenter
error detection mode.
