A6282 16-Channel Constant-Current LED Driver Features and Benefits Description ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ The A6282 device is designed for LED display applications. This CMOS device includes an input shift register, accompanying data latches, and 16 MOS constant current sink drivers. 16 constant-current outputs, up to 50 mA each LED output voltage up to 12 V 3.0 to 5.5 V logic supply range Schmitt trigger inputs for improved noise immunity Power-On Reset (POR), all register bits = 0 Low-power CMOS logic and latches High data input rate: 30 MHz Output current accuracy: between channels < ±3% and between ICs ±7%, over the full operating temperature range ▪ Internal UVLO and thermal shutdown (TSD) circuitry The CMOS shift registers and latches allow direct interfacing with microprocessor-based systems. With a 3.3 or 5 V logic supply, typical serial data input rates can reach up to 30 MHz. The LED drive current level can be set by a single external resistor, selected by the application designer. A serial data output permits cascading of multiple devices in applications requiring additional drive lines. The A6282 is available in two 24-terminal packages: QFN (package ES) and TSSOP (LP), which have an exposed thermal pad. Both packages are lead (Pb) free with 100% matte tin leadframe plating. Packages: 24-pin TSSOP with exposed thermal pad (Package LP) Applications include the following: ▪ Monocolor, multicolor, or full-color LED display ▪ Monocolor, multicolor, or full-color LED signboard ▪ Display backlighting ▪ Multicolor LED lighting 24-contact QFN 4 mm × 4 mm × 0.75 mm (Package ES) Not to scale Typical Application VLED 10 μF 10 μF SDI Controller SDI CLK CLK LE LE OE OE OUT0 OUT15 SDI SDO VDD VDD 100 nF A6282 GND REXT IC 1 CLK LE OUT15 SDO VDD GND OE VDD 100 nF A6282 REXT IC 2 Cascaded A6282 devices 6282-DS, Rev. 4 OUT0 A6282 16-Channel Constant-Current LED Driver Selection Guide Part Number Package Packing A6282EESTR-T 4 mm × 4 mm QFN, 24 pins, exposed thermal pad 1500 pieces per 7-in. reel A6282ELPTR-T TSSOP, 24 pins, exposed thermal pad 4000 pieces per 13 in. reel Absolute Maximum Ratings Characteristic Supply Voltage* Symbol Notes Rating Unit VDD –0.3 to 5.5 V OUTx Current (any single output) IO 60 mA Input Voltage Range* VI –0.3 to VDD + 0.3 V –0.3 to 13.2 V LED Load Supply Range* VOE, VLE, VCLK, VSDI VLED ESD Rating Operating Temperature Range (E) Junction Temperature Storage Temperature Range HBM (JEDEC JESD22-A114, Human Body Model) 2.0 kV CDM (JEDEC JESD22-C101, Charged Device Model) 1.0 kV –40 to 85 °C TA TJ(max) 150 °C Tstg –55 to 150 °C *With respect to ground.

On succeeding CLK pulses, the register shifts data towards the SDO (Serial Data Out) output. The serial data must appear at the input prior to the rising edge of the CLK waveform. Data present in any register is transferred to the respective latch when the LE (Latch Enable) input is high (serial-to-parallel conversion). The latches continue to accept new data as long as LE is held high (level triggered). Applications where the latches are bypassed (LE tied high) ¯ (Output Enable) input be high during serial require that the Ō¯¯Ē ¯ is high, the output sink drivers are disabled data entry. When Ō¯¯Ē (off). The data stored in the latches is not affected by the state ¯ . With Ō¯¯Ē ¯ active (low), the outputs are controlled by the of Ō¯¯Ē state of their respective latches. Setting Maximum Channel Current The maximum output current per channel is set by a single external resistor, REXT, which is placed between the REXT pin and GND. The voltage on REXT, VEXT, is set by an internal band gap and is 1.21 V, typical. The maximum channel output current can be calculated as: IO(max) = (18483.1/ REXT) + 0.67 , for VDD = 3.0 to 3.6 V , or IO(max) = (18841.2/ REXT) + 0.68 , for VDD = 4.5 to 5.5 V , where REXT is the value of the user-selected external resistor, which should not be less than 374 Ω. A chart of the maximum per channel (OUT0 to OUT15) constant output current, IO(max), at various values of REXT , is shown in the Operating Characteristics section. Undervoltage Lockout The A6282 includes an internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit that disables the outputs in the event that the logic supply voltage drops below a minimum acceptable level. This feature prevents the display of erroneous information, a necessary function for some critical applications. Upon recovery of the logic supply voltage after a UVLO event, all internal shift registers and latches are set to 0. The A6282 is then in normal mode. Thermal Shutdown Protection If the junction temperature exceeds the threshold temperature, TJTSD , 165°C typical, the outputs will be turned off until the junction temperature cools down through the thermal shutdown hysteresis, 15°C typical. The shift register and output latches register will remain active during a thermal shutdown event. Therefore, there is no need to reset the data in the output latches.

If higher voltages are dropped across the driver, package power dissipation will increase. To minimize package power dissipation, it is recommended to use the lowest possible load supply voltage, VLED, or to set a series voltage drop, VDROP , according to the following formula: VDROP = VLED – VF – VDS , where VF is the LED forward voltage. For reference, typical LED forward voltages are: LED Type VF (V) White Blue Green Yellow Amber Red Infrared UV 3.5 to 4.0 3.0 to 5.5 1.8 to 2.5 2.0 to 2.5 1.9 to 3.0 1.6 to 2.5 1.2 to 1.8 3.0 to 4.0 1. Place the REXT resistor as close as possible to the REXT pin and GND pin. This will minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance. 2. Use a separate line to the device GND pin for REXT, and separate lines for the decoupling capacitors. The lines should join at ground. This star grounding will improve output load regulation and minimize any chance of oscillation. The REXT ground line should carry only the small current from the internal voltage reference at REXT. The high AC currents flowing through the decoupling capacitors and their resistive and inductive PCB lines cause noise (ground bounce) on the capacitor ground lines. Such noise could disturb the reference voltage at REXT and promote oscillation. Connect the exposed thermal pad of the ES and LP packages to the power ground, along with the decoupling capacitors, and not to the ground line for REXT. 3. Keep the output drive lines (OUT0 through OUT15) away from the REXT pin to avoid coupling of the output signal into the reference for the current sources. Output lines should not run adjacent to the REXT pin or directly under the REXT pin. VDROP = IO× RDROP for a single driver, for a Zener diode (VZ), or for a series string of silicon diodes (approximately 0.7 V per diode) for a group of drivers (these configurations are shown in the figure below). If the available voltage source will cause unacceptable power dissipation and series resistors or diodes are undesirable, a voltage regulator can be used to provide VLED. 4. Use decoupling capacitors on the VDD pin and the LED supply bus. Place the logic decoupling capacitor (0.1 μF, one for each A6282) as close as possible to the VDD pin. Use at least one 10 μF capacitor from the LED supply line to device ground for at least every two A6282s. Pattern Layout To save pins and board space, the A6282 uses one pin for both logic ground and power ground. Therefore, achieving optimal performance requires careful attention to layout. Following the suggestions below will improve the analog performance and logic noise immunity. Package Power Dissipation The maximum allowable package power dissipation based on package type is determined by: VLED VLED VLED VDROP VDROP VDROP VF VF VF VDS VDS VDS Typical application voltage drops 5. Use multilayer boards if possible. PD(max) = (150 – TA) / RJA , where RJA is the thermal resistance of the package, determined experimentally. Power dissipation levels based on the package are shown in the Thermal Characteristics table. The actual package power dissipation is determined by: PD(act) = DC × (VDS × IO× 16) + (VDD× IDD) , where DC is the duty cycle. The value 16 is the maximum number of available device outputs, representing the worst-case scenario (displaying all 16 LEDs). When the load supply voltage, VLED, is greater than 3 to 5 V, and PD(act) > PD(max), an external voltage reducer (VDROP) must be used (figure at left). Reducing DC will also reduce power dissipation. The ES and LP packages contain an exposed thermal pad on the bottom of the package for enhanced heat dissipation. Connect this pad to a large power ground plane using thermal vias. JEDEC documents JESD51-3 and JESD51-5 give suggestions for PCB and thermal via designs.
