LED1642GW16 Channels LED driver with Error detection, Current Gain Control and 12/16 bit PWM Brightness control | LED Drivers | 4 | Active | The LED1642GW is a monolithic, low voltage, low current power 16-bit shift register designed for LED panel displays. The LED1642GW guarantees 20 V output driving capability allowing the user to connect several LEDs in series. In the output stage, sixteen regulated current sources provide from 3 mA to 40 mA constant current to drive the LEDs. The current is programmed through an external resistor and can be adjusted by a 7-bit current gain register in two subranges. The brightness can be adjusted separately for each channel through 12/16-bit grayscale control.
Programmable turn-on and turn-off time (four different values available) improves the low noise generation performance of the system.
Open/short error detection mode is available in the LED1642GW. The auto power-shutdown and auto power-on features (selectable) allow the device to save power without external intervention.
Thermal management includes an overtemperature data alert and output thermal shutdown (170 °C). The high clock frequency is up to 30 MHz and it makes the device suitable for high data rate transmission. A selectable gradual output delay reduces the inrush current, whereas the selectable SDO synchronization feature works when the device is used in daisy-chain configuration. The supply voltage range is between 3 V and 5.5 V. |
LED20003 A monolithic step-down current source with synchronous rectification | LED Drivers | 2 | Active | The LED2000 is an 850 kHz fixed switching frequency monolithic step-down DC-DC converter designed to operate as precise constant current source with an adjustable current capability up to 3 A DC. The embedded PWM dimming circuitry features LED brightness control. The regulated output current is set connecting a sensing resistor to the feedback pin. The embedded synchronous rectification and the 100 mV typical RSENSEvoltage drop enhance the efficiency performance. The size of the overall application is minimized thanks to the high switching frequency and ceramic output capacitor compatibility. The device is fully protected against thermal overheating, overcurrent and output short-circuit. The LED2000 is available in VFQFPN 4 mm x 4 mm 8-lead, and standard SO8 package. |

LED2472G24-Channels LED driver with LED error detection and gain control | Integrated Circuits (ICs) | 2 | Active | The LED2472G is a monolithic, low voltage, low current power 24-bit shift register designed for LED panel displays with particular features oriented to indoor and outdoor LED screen billboards. The LED2472G guarantees 20 V of output driving capability, allowing several LEDs to be connected in series. The device is configured in 3 groups (red, green and blue) of 8 independently-controlled channels. The LED current can be separately regulated for each color within the range from 4 mA to 72 mA. This range is divided into two sub-ranges and the current can be adjusted within each range in 64 steps of resolution (6 bits per color). A single external resistor is required. All the controls and the shift register data are accessible via serial interface. A single 24-bit configuration register is used to choose features and settings to fit the application. The LED failure detection circuit checks 3 different conditions that can occur at the output line: short to GND, short to LED power supply rail or open channel. The auto power shutdown and auto power-on feature (selectable) allows the device to save power without any external intervention. Thermal management includes overtemperature flag and the output thermal shutdown (170 °C). The high clock frequency of up to 30 MHz makes the device suitable for high data rate transmission. A selectable gradual output delay reduces the inrush current. The supply voltage ranges from 3 V and 5.5 V. |

LED60003 A, 61 V monolithic current source with dimming capability | LED Drivers | 2 | Active | The LED6000 is a step-down monolithic switching regulator designed to source up to 3 A DC current for high power LED driving. The 250 mV typical RSENSE voltage drop enhances the efficiency. Digital dimming is implemented by driving the dedicated DIM pin.
The adjustable current limitation, designed to select the inductor RMS in accordance with the nominal output LED current, and the adjustability of the switching frequency allow the size of the application to be compact. The embedded switchover feature on the VBIAS pin maximizes efficiency. Multiple devices can be synchronized by sharing the SYNCH pin to prevent beating noise in low-noise applications, and to reduce the input current RMS value.
The device is fully protected against overheating, overcurrent and output short-circuit.
The LED6000 is available in an HTSSOP16 exposed pad package. |
LED6001PWM-dimmable single channel LED driver with integrated boost controller | Power Management (PMIC) | 2 | Active | The LED6001 device is a LED driver that combines a boost controller and a high-side current sensing circuitry optimized for driving one string of high-brightness LEDs. The device is compatible with multiple topologies such as boost, SEPIC and floating load buck-boost. The brightness of the LEDs can be controlled through PWM dimming and analog dimming (10:1 ratio) by means of two independent pins. Enhanced PWM dimming can be obtained thanks to a MOSFET in series with the LED string and directly driven by a dedicated pin.
The high-side current sensing, in combination with a P-channel MOSFET, provides an effective protection in case the positive terminal of the LED string is shorted to ground. The high precision current sensing circuitry allows a LED current regulation reference within ± 4% accuracy over the whole temperature range and production spread.
A fault output (open-drain) informs the host system about faulty conditions: device overtemperature, output overvoltage (disconnected LED string) and LED overcurrent. |

The device can manage an output voltage up to 36 V (i.e. 10 white LEDs per row).
The generators can be externally programmed to sink up to 30 mA and can be dimmed via a PWM signal (1 % dimming duty-cycle at 20 kHz can be managed). The device allows to detect and manage the open and shorted LED faults and to let unused rows floating. Basic protections (output over-voltage, internal MOSFET over-current and thermal shutdown) are provided. |
