Tel：886-3-5645656 Fax：886-3-5645626 DM13G DM13G 16-bit Constant Current LED Driver With Error Detection General Description DM13G 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 value of all 16 channels is adjustable by a single external resistor. The global current also can be further adjusted by 7-bit serial shift-in data. Its built-in LED open/short detection, output channels short to GND detection and thermal alarm circuits help users detect LED failures, outputs short and overheating. There are two methods to communicate the error messages to the system. One is through serial output data to indicate which channel has failure. The other is by means of dedicated Alarm pin.

Page 10 DM13G 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 roughly by the following equation: Imax ≅ Vrext (V) × 64 Rrext (Ω) In order to obtain a good performance of constant-current output, a suitable output voltage is necessary. Users can get related information about the minimum output voltage below. 16-bit Constant Current LED Driver with Error Detection Version:A.002 未經授權而逕予重製、複製、使用或公開本文件，行為人得被追究侵權之相關民刑事責任 Unauthorized reproduction, duplication, use or disclosure of this document will be deemed as infringement. Page 11 DM13G Serial Data Interface When MODE pin is set to low, 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 at the rising edge of the strobe signal (LAT); otherwise, the data will be latched. The latch pulse should be sent after the falling edge of the last clock within a frame data. The trigger timing of the serial-out data (DAO) will be shifted out on synchronization to the rising edge of the clock. All outputs are turned off while ENB is kept at high level.

Page 12 DM13G Operation Mode DM13G has two operating modes depending on the signal MODE. Table 1 shows the available operating modes. When MODE = H, the device operates at the CD mode. CD mode is used to set 7-bit global brightness control data and 3-bit error detection type data. When MODE = L, the device becomes SD mode. SD mode is used to serial-in image data. Table 1.

Global Brightness Control In the monochrome or full color LED display applications, for obtaining the uniformity, the white balance between modules or ICs, or the accomodation to ambient light, DM13G offers a convenient way by fine tuning the whole output current at the same time. To further adjust the current level linearly, the system shall set the MODE pin to high and then shift in 7 bit 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 6 3 1 0 current multiplied by the ratio ( 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1) 128 .

Page 13 DM13G the next new data is latched. Note that the default code 1000000 exists in chip memory when power on, so the output current is equal to the half of base current. b. Function Selection DM13G provide several functions, like table 2 shows. The default function after power on is Real-Time LED Open Detection (ER[2:0]=111). Table 2. Function Table ER[2:0] Functions 000 Normal 001 Smart Outputs Short to GND Detection 010 Smart LED Short Detection 011 Smart LED Open Detection 101 Sleep 110 Real-Time LED Short Detection 111 Real-Time LED Open Detection b.1 LED Open/Short Detection (Real-Time or Smart Detection) Test result for open/short detection of DM13G could be retrieved from ALARM pin or serial-out (DAO) data. Set the ER[2:0] = 111 or 011 to activate OPEN detection, it will be identified as a LED open failure when there is a current passing through the output but the voltage is below 0.2V. Set the ER[2:0] =110 or 010 to activate SHORT detection, it will be identified as a LED short failure when there is a current passing through the output but the voltage is above 2/3 VCC. When DM13G operates at real-time LED open/short detection type (ER[2:0]=111/110), after a LAT pulse at MODE=’L’, with the following conditions: the shift register corresponding to particular output channel saves an image data of ‘1’, the output enable terminal is activated (ENB=’L’); DM13G will execute LED open/short detection then save the result within the particular shift register. By using the error message sent by serial-out, the controller can identify the status of every LED driven by each channel. For either open or short detection, the input image data of the channel is ‘1’ and the serial-out data is ‘0’ then a LED works normally, but if the serial-out data is ‘1’ then a LED failure has occurred. If the input of image data is ‘0’ or the output enable terminal is inactive (ENB=’H’), it will not execute any detection for the particular channel, and the serial-out data will always be ’0’. 16-bit Constant Current LED Driver with Error Detection Version:A.002 未經授權而逕予重製、複製、使用或公開本文件，行為人得被追究侵權之相關民刑事責任 Unauthorized reproduction, duplication, use or disclosure of this document will be deemed as infringement.

If there is any ‘1’ received, it can pinpoint which channel with fail LED. Since it is doing continuous detection 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”. DM13G is also specially designed to have another “smart” detection method. When ER[2:0]=011/010, DM13G operates at smart LED open/short detection type. When the MODE signal transfers from ‘H’ to ’L’, the smart LED open/short detection will start after the first LAT pulse at MODE=‘L’ and the device will complete some actions automatically: One is that all output channels will be forced to turn on. Another is to lower the maximum output current to about 50uA until the next falling edge of the CLK pulse. After the falling edge of CLK, the output current will return to normal value. System can use the clock counts to identify the locations of any channels with fail LED. After a smart LED open/short detection, the device will return to real-time LED open/short detection. If there is any ‘1’ received from serial-out, it can pinpoint which channel with fail LED.

Page 15 E[15]b DM13G The response for LED open/short detection of DM13G is very fast (min. 100ns). And it provides multi solutions like alarm, real-time monitor and smart detection to be selected. All of these are “invisible failure detection”. Accordingly, it is more flexible and well adapted to the system requirements. b.2 Outputs Short to GND Detection Outputs short to GND detection of DM13G could be retrieved from ALARM pin or serial-out (DAO) data. Set the ER[2:0] = 001 to activate output short detection, it will be identified as a output short failure when the output turn off but the voltage is below 0.2V. When the MODE signal transfers from ‘H’ to ’L’, the outputs short to GND detection will start after the first LAT pulse at MODE = ‘L’, the device will force all outputs turn off automatically, and start to detect output short error until the next falling edge of the CLK pulse. After the falling edge of CLK, the output current will return to normal value. When an output short detection finished, the device will return to default detection type (real-time LED open detection type). If there is any ‘1’ received from serial-out, it can pinpoint which channel is failed.

Although the DAO pin will not send out the error message, but users can judge the LED open error by ALARM pin. 16-bit Constant Current LED Driver with Error Detection Version:A.002 未經授權而逕予重製、複製、使用或公開本文件，行為人得被追究侵權之相關民刑事責任 Unauthorized reproduction, duplication, use or disclosure of this document will be deemed as infringement.

To reduce this effect, DM13G is designed to have a constant unit of delay between outputs. All IOUTs are divided into four groups and every four outputs form a group. For example, IOUT0 ~ IOUT3 form the group1; IOUT4 ~ IOUT7 form the group2. There is no delay between every group. But each IOUT delay in the same group is 3ns @VDD=3.3V (typical). Alarm Function It can detect the operating status by connecting a pull-high resistor to the open-drain ALARM pin. The ALARM pin is kept ‘H’ for normal conditions, and shifted to ‘L’ if there is any failure like LED open/short, outputs short to GND, overheating. User can determine the different status from the truth table below: Error Detection Time Error Report Time Status ER[2:0] ENB ENB ALARM don’t care don’t care don’t care H Normal Operation 111 / 011 L / don’t care L HÆL LED Open issue 110 / 010 L / don’t care L HÆL LED Short issue 001 don’t care L HÆL Outputs Short issue don’t care don’t care H HÆL Thermal Alarm or Shutdown When the latch is high at SD MODE (MODE=’L’), the ALARM pin will reset to high level and start to detect once again. It will send out the error report after the rising of the next CLK pulse. If ENB=”L”, ALARM pin will show out the open/short or output short error report; when ENB=”H”, ALARM pin will show out the thermal error report. The detection cycle of the alarm signal will continue until it reaches the rising edge of the latch pulse again.

Page 19 DM13G MODE Error Detection Time Error Report Time CLK ... LAT ENB ALARM Reset to “H＂ Open/short or Output short Error Report Thermal Error Report For actual application, the controller could connect all the ALARM pins with one pull-high resistor to simplify circuit designs and feedback loops. Thermal Alarm and Shutdown During operation, when the junction temperature of the IC reaches about 130℃, the ALARM pin will shift to low level and produce a warning signal (ENB=”H”). Suggested cooling measures is to start the fan, lower the output currents and etc. If no cooling measures were activated, the junction temperature might continue to rise. Once it reaches approximately above 170℃, it will cause the driver to shutdown all the outputs. Basically, the IC will cool down and return to the safe operating temperature which is approximately below 130℃. The ALARM pin will reset to high level, disable the warning, and restart all the outputs at the same time. Operation in the thermal situation for a long time may cause chip damage permanently. Normal Normal Alarm 130 C Normal Normal 170 C Alarm Alarm + Shutdowm Ghost Image Elimination DM13G provide a function of ghost image elimination. When users turn off the output channel, the ghost image elimination circuit will pull up the output voltage to “VLED-0.7V”. It can make sure the output channels are fully turned off. 16-bit Constant Current LED Driver with Error Detection Version:A.002 未經授權而逕予重製、複製、使用或公開本文件，行為人得被追究侵權之相關民刑事責任 Unauthorized reproduction, duplication, use or disclosure of this document will be deemed as infringement. Page 20 DM13G 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: Power Dissipation Pd(W) Tj(max)=150°C 5.5 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0.0 Rth(TSSOP28E)=25.0°C/Watt TSSOP28E Rth(QFN32)=36.1°C/Watt Rth(SSOP28)=80.0°C/Watt QFN32 SSOP28 0 20 40 60 80 Ambient Temperature Ta(℃) The power consumption of IC can be determined by the following equation and should be less than the maximum allowable power dissipation: 16-bit Constant Current LED Driver with Error Detection Version:A.002 未經授權而逕予重製、複製、使用或公開本文件，行為人得被追究侵權之相關民刑事責任 Unauthorized reproduction, duplication, use or disclosure of this document will be deemed as infringement.
