CAT4008 8-Channel Constant Current LED Driver FEATURES DESCRIPTION 8 Constant current-sink channels The CAT4008 is an 8 channel constant current driver for LED billboard and other general display applications. LED channel currents are programmed together via an external RSET resistor. Low output voltage operation on the LED channels as low as 0.4V (for 2 to 100mA LED current) allows for more power efficient designs. Serial interface up to 25MHz clock frequency 3V to 5.5V logic supply LED current range from 2mA to 100mA LED current set by external RSET resistor 300mV LED dropout at 30mA Thermal shutdown protection A high-speed 4-wire serial interface of up to 25MHz clock frequency controls each individual channel using a shift register and latch configuration. A serial output data pin (SOUT) allows multiple devices to be cascaded and programmed via one serial interface. The device also includes a blanking control pin (BLANK) that can be used to disable all channels independently of the interface. Available in RoHS-compliant 16-lead SOIC (150 and 300mil wide), and TSSOP packages APPLICATIONS Billboard Display Marquee Display Instrument Display Thermal shutdown protection is incorporated in the device to disable the LED outputs if the die temperature exceeds a set limit. General Purpose Display The device is available in the 16-lead SOIC (narrow and wide), and TSSOP packages.

C CAT4008 PIN DESCRIPTION Name Function GND Ground SIN Serial data input pin CLK Serial clock input pin LATCH Latch serial data to output registers LED1-LED8 LED channel 1 to 8 cathode terminals BLANK Enable / disable all channels SOUT Serial data output pin. RSET LED current set pin VDD Positive supply Voltage PIN FUNCTION GND is the ground reference pin for the device. This pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. BLANK is the LED channel enable and disable input pin. When low, LEDs are enabled according to the output latch register content. When high, all LEDs are off, while preserving the data in the output latch register. SIN is the serial data input. Data is loaded into the internal register on each rising edge of CLK. CLK is the serial clock input. On each rising CLK edge, data is transferred from SIN to the internal 8-bit serial shift register. SOUT is the serial data output of the 8-bit serial shift register. This pin is used to cascade several devices on the serial bus. The SOUT pin is then connected to the SIN input of the next device on the serial bus to cascade. LATCH is the latch data input. On the rising edge of LATCH, data is loaded from the 8-bit serial shift register into the output register latch. On the falling edge, this data is latched in the output register and isolated from the state of the serial shift register. RSET is the LED current setting pin. A resistor is connected between this pin and ground. Each LED channel current is set to about 51 times the current pulled out of the pin. The RSET pin voltage is regulated to 1.2V. LED1 – LED8 are the LED current sink channels. These pins are connected to the LED cathodes. The current sinks drive the LEDs with a current equal to about 51 times RSET pin current. For the LED sink to operate correctly, the voltage on the LED pin must be above 0.4V. VDD is the positive supply pin voltage for the entire device. A small 1µF ceramic is recommended close to pin.

CAT4008 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION The CAT4008 uses 8 tightly matched current sinks to accurately regulate the LED current in each channel. The external resistor, RSET, is used to set the LED Pull-up and pull-down resistors are internally provided to set the state of the BLANK and LATCH pins to the off-state when not externally driven. 1.2 R SET channel current to about 51 times the current in RSET. SERIAL INTERFACE LED current ≅ 51× A high-speed serial 4-wire interface is provided to program the state of each LED on or off. The interface contains an 8-bit serial to parallel shift register (S1-S8) and an 8-bit latch (L1-L8). Programming the serial to parallel register is accomplished via SIN and CLK input pins. On each rising edge of the CLK signal, the data from SIN is moved through the shift register serially. Data is also moved out of SOUT which can be connected to a next device if programming more then one device on the same interface. Tight current regulation for all channels is possible over a wide range of input and LED voltages due to independent current sensing circuitry on each channel. The LED channels have a maximum dropout of 0.4V for most current and supply voltage conditions. This helps improve the heat dissipation and efficiency of the LED driver. Upon power-up, an under-voltage lockout circuit clears all latches and shift registers and sets all outputs to off. Once the under-voltage lockout threshold has been reached the device can be programmed. On the rising edge of LATCH, the data contents of the serial to parallel shift register is reflected in the latches. On the falling edge of LATCH, the state of the serial to parallel register at that particular time is saved in the latches and does not change irrespective of the contents of the serial to parallel register. The driver delays the activation of each consecutive LED output channel by 17ns (typical). Relative to LED1, LED2 is delayed by 17ns, LED3 by 34ns and LED8 by 120ns typical. The delay is introduced when LATCH is activated. The delay minimizes the inrush current on the LED supply by staggering the turn on and off current spikes over a period of time and therefore allowing usage of smaller bypass capacitors. © 2009 SCILLC.

When low, the LED outputs reflect the data in the latches. When high, all outputs are high impedance (zero current). 9 Doc. No. MD-5034 Rev.
