16-BIT CONSTANT CURRENT
LED SINK DRIVER

DESCRIPTION
The UTC L16B45 is designed for LED displays. UTC L16B45
contains a serial buffer and data latches which convert serial input
data into parallel output format. At UTC L16B45 output stage,
sixteen regulated current ports are designed to provide uniform and
constant current sinks for driving LEDs within a large range of VF
variations.
UTC L16B45 provides users with great flexibility and device
performance while using UTC L16B45 in their system design for
LED display applications, e.g. LED panels. Users may adjust the
output current from 3mA to 45mA through an external resistor, Rext,
which gives users flexibility in controlling the light intensity of LEDs.
UTC L16B45 guarantees to endure maximum 17V at the output
port. The high clock frequency, 25MHz, also satisfies the system
requirements of high volume data transmission.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Constant Current
To design LED displays, UTC L16B45 provides nearly no variations in current from channel
to channel and from IC to IC. This can be achieved by:
1) The maximum current variation between channels is less than ±2.5%, and that between ICs is less than ±3%.
2) In addition, the current characteristic of output stage is flat and users can refer to the figure as shown below.
The output current can be kept constant regardless of the variations of LED forward voltages (Vf). This performs as a
perfection of load regulation.
Adjusting Output Current
The output current of each channel (IOUT) is set by an external resistor, Rext. The relationship between IOUT and Rext
is shown in the following figure.
Also, the output current can be calculated from the equation:
VR-EXT=1.24V;
IOUT=VR-EXT×( 1/Rext )x15;
Rext=(VR-EXT/IOUT)x15
where Rext is the resistance of the external resistor connected to R-EXT terminal and VR-EXT is the voltage of R-EXT
terminal. The magnitude of current (as a function of Rext) is around 25mA at 744Ω and 10mA at 1860Ω.
