16-bit Constant Current LED Driver
With Error Detection
General Description
DM13H is a constant-current sink driver specifically designed for LED display
applications. The device incorporates shift registers, data latches, and constant current
circuitry on the silicon CMOS chip. The maximum output current of each channel is set by a
single external resistor. Overall output currents can be adjusted by a 7-bit serial shift-in data.
Its built-in LED open/short detection, output channels short to GND detection help users to
detect LED failures, outputs short. The thermal alarm and shutdown functions provide the
over-temperature protection.

Constant-Current Output
Constant-current value of each output channel is set by an external resistor connected
between the REXT pin and GND. Varying the resistor value can adjust the current scale
ranging from 5mA to 90mA. The reference voltage of REXT terminal (Vrext) is
approximately 1.23V. The output current value is calculated by the following equation:

DM13H
Serial Data Interface
DM13H includes a flexible data transfer interface. The data can be transferred from DAI
pin to the shift registers at the rising edge of CLK. After all data are clocked in, a rising edge
of the LAT signal can transfer the serial data to the data latches (Edge trigger). The serial
data format can be 16-bit or 10-bit wide, depending on the operating mode of the device.
Operation Mode
DM13H has two operating modes depending on the combination of CLK and LAT
signals. The table below shows the available operating modes. For normal operation (SD
mode), the data width of shift register is 16-bit, which is used to set 16 bits serial-in image
data. The sequence of the combination of CLK and LAT explains in following pages is
used to change the operation mode. If there are four triggering clock pulses (CLK) with high
level latch ( LAT ), DM13H will change to command data input mode (CD mode) at falling
edge of the latch pulse ( LAT ) then user can make ten triggering clock pulses to set 7-bit
GBC data (default value after power-on is 7’b1000000), 2-bit voltage level selection of short
detection (default value after power-on is 1’b10) and 1-bit sleep control data (default value is
1’b0)

Shift-in first
When DM13H operates at SD mode, the serial-in data (DAI) will be clocked into 16-bit
shift register synchronized on the rising edge of the clock (CLK). The data ‘1’ represents the
corresponding current output ‘ON’, while the data ‘0’ stands for ‘OFF’. The data will be
transferred into the 16 bit latch synchronized on the rising edge of the strobe signal ( LAT );
otherwise, the output data won’t be changed. The latch pulse should be sent after the falling
edge of the last clock within a frame data.

DM13H
CD Mode Data Format
a. Global Brightness Control
DM13H offers a convenient way to fine tune the whole chip output currents for the
uniformity of brightness between modules, ICs or the accomodation to ambient light. To
further adjust the current level linearly, the system shall enter the CD MODE and then shift
in 7-bit GBC data code through DAI pin. The MSB should be shifted-in first. Take the input
code. G[6:0]= (MSB)1001011(LSB) for example. The new current is then equal to the base
current multiplied by the ratio (26 + 23 + 21 + 20 + 1) 128 . The 7-bit data won’t be changed until the
next new data is latched. Note that the default code 7’b1000000 exists in chip memory
when power on, so the output current is equal to the half of base current.
b. Short detection voltage level selection
DM13H provides 2 voltage levels in coordination with LED short detection on system.
VCC voltage level is the default value while power-on. DAO will send an error signal = H if
the output voltage is greater than a respectively predetermined threshold value.
SV

c. Sleep mode
When SLP=1, DM13H will enter sleep mode, all outputs turn off and the IDD of DM13H
will drop down to less than 5uA. This function is especially designed for battery or solar
powered system.

DM13H
Error Detection
DM13H includes Real-time and Smart detection mode for LED open/short and driver
outputs short to GND detection. It can be set as six types which are showing as following
table.
Detection Type
Real time LED Open Detection
Detection Operation
CLK rising edge x1, with LAT =H
Real time Output Short to GND Detection CLK rising edge x2, with LAT =H
Real time LED Short Detection
CLK rising edge x3, with LAT =H
Smart LED Open Detection
CLK rising edge x1, with LAT =H
then LAT falling edge x2 with CLK=H
Smart Output Short to GND Detection
CLK rising edge x2, with LAT =H
then LAT falling edge x2 with CLK=H
Smart LED Short Detection
CLK rising edge x3, with LAT =H
then LAT falling edge x2 with CLK=H
Selection of detection types is a collocation of CLK and LAT . After detection executed,
the error report will be saved in the particular shift register and could be retrieved from
serial-out(DAO) data.
For Real-Time LED open/short detections, it’s necessary to set the image data of the
particular output channel as ‘1’. The serial-out data is ‘0’ in the LED normal state, and the
serial-out data will be ‘1’ while a LED failure has occurred. If the image data is written to “0”
or the output terminal is inactive (EN =H), it will not execute any detection process for the
corresponding channel. Therefore, the serial-data will remain as “0”.
For Real-Time Output Short to GND detection type, set the image data of the particular
output channel to ‘0’, outputs’ state will be identified from DAO as above. In output normal
state, the serial-out data is ‘0’, but if the serial-out data is ‘1’ then a DM13H output voltage
lower than 0.1V. If the image data of particular channel is ‘1’, no detection will be executed
for the corresponding channel, and the serial-out data will be ’0’. Otherwise, If output enable
terminal is active (EN =’L’), the serial-out data will be ’0’.
DM13H specializes in fast detection response, 100ns minima. Moreover, it offers multi
selections like Real-Time monitor and Smart detection. Accordingly, it is more flexible and
well adapted to the system requirements.

With the above operating principle, the controller could continuously retrieve LED
status from serial-out(DAO) then compare with the last frame date one by one . Once there
is any serial-out data at ’1’ be retrieved, it pinpoints the channel with failed LED. Since the
process is ongoing and without shifting between image and detection mode, it does not
interrupt the image data flow and the output display. This is known as “Real-Time Monitor”.
c. LED Open/Short Detection (Smart Detection)
DM13H also specially provides another ”smart” detection method. In Smart detection
mode, DM13H will automatically turns on all output channels with Iout=50uA until the next
rising edge of the CLK pulse. After the rising edge of CLK, the output current will return to
original state. Notice that enable control (EN ) won’t affect smart detection result.
Set one CLK rising edge with LAT =‘H’ then two LAT falling edges with CLK is ‘H’ to
operate Open Smart detection. Each channel will be identified as a LED open failure when
there is a current passing through the output but the voltage is below 0.1V.

The error report of LED status will be retrieved from DAO. Once there is any serial-out
data at ’1’ be retrieved, controller can counts clocks to identify the locations of fail LED. The
impression of “invisible failure detection” is achievable because of less data clock-in cycle
and small current during detection to avoid a flash. After Smart detection, DM13H will return
to normal operation until next detection.
d. Outputs Short to GND Detection (Real-Time/Smart)
This error detection mode could detect the failure of IC and PCB. If IC output pins are
burned-out or output pins on PCB layout are short to ground, the voltage of IC output pins
would be pulled to low voltage. It will make LEDs turn on all the time. Therefore, DM13H
would determine the failure of IC output pins when the output voltage is below 0.1V. For the
duration of output short to GND smart detection, the output would be turned off
automatically and pulled high to VDD no matter channel is on or off.
Set two CLK rising edges with LAT =‘H’ to operate Output Short to GND Real-Time
detection. An output short failure will be identified when the output turn off but the voltage is
below 0.1V.

Outputs Delay
Large in-rush currents will occur when the system activates all the outputs at once. To
prevent this effect, a constant unit of delay between outputs is built-in DM13H. All outputs
are divided into four groups and each group contains four outputs. For example, OUT0 ~
OUT3 form the group1; OUT4 ~ OUT7 form the group2. There is no delay between every
group. But each output delay between channels in a group is 3ns @VDD=3.3V (typical).

DM13H
Thermal Alarm and Shutdown
DM13H provides a temperature error detection circuit for thermal alarm and shutdown
protection. When junction temperature of the IC exceeds 130℃, the thermal flag(T130) will
be serial-out in the CD mode. If no cooling measures to reduce the temperature(by system),
the junction temperature might continue to rise. Once it reaches to 170℃, DM13H will turn
off all outputs. When the junction temperature is lower than 130℃, DM13H will restart
automatically. Operation in the over-temperature situation( > 130℃) for a long time may
cause chip damage permanently.

Power Dissipation
Notice that the power dissipation of a semiconductor chip is limited to its package and
ambient temperature, in which the device requires the maximum output current calculated
for given operating conditions. The maximum allowable power consumption can be
calculated by the following equation:
Pd(max)(Watt) =
Tj(junction temperature)(max)(°C)– Ta(ambient temperature)(°C)
Rth(junction-to-air thermal resistance)(°C/Watt)
The relationship between power dissipation and operating temperature can be refer to the
figure below:
