8-BIT SERIAL-INPUT, CONSTANTCURRENT LATCHED LED DRIVER
The A6277x is specifically designed for LED-display applications.
Each BiCMOS device includes an 8-bit CMOS shift register, accompanying data latches, and eight npn constant-current sink drivers. Two
package styles and two operating temperature ranges are available.
The CMOS shift register and latches allow direct interfacing with
microprocessor-based systems. With a 5 V logic supply, typical serial
data-input rates are up to 20 MHz. The LED drive current is determined by the user’s selection of a single resistor. A CMOS serial data
output permits cascade connections in applications requiring additional
drive lines. For inter-digit blanking, all output drivers can be disabled
with an ENABLE input high. In addition, a HIGH/LOW function
enables full selected current with the application of a logic low, or 50%
selected current with the application of a logic high.
The first character of the part number suffix determines the device
operating temperature range. Suffix ‘E–’ is for -40°C to +85°C, and
suffix ‘S–’ is -20°C to +85°C. Two package styles are provided for
through-hole DIP (suffix ‘–A’) or surface-mount SOIC (suffix ‘–LW’)
applications. The copper lead frame and low logic-power dissipation
allow the dual in-line package to sink 122 mA through all outputs
continuously over the operating temperature range (1.0 V drop,
+85°C).
FEATURES
■ To 150 mA Constant-Current Outputs

Information present at any register is transferred to the
respective latch when the LATCH ENABLE is high (serial-toparallel conversion). The latches will continue to accept new
data as long as the LATCH ENABLE is held high. Applications where the latches are bypassed (LATCH ENABLE tied
high) will require that the OUTPUT ENABLE input be high
during serial data entry.
When the OUTPUT ENABLE input is high, the output
source drivers are disabled (OFF). The information stored in the
latches is not affected by the OUTPUT ENABLE input. With
the OUTPUT ENABLE input low, the outputs are controlled by
the state of their respective latches.

Package Power Dissipation (PD). The maximum allowable package power dissipation is determined as
PD(max) = (150 - TA)/RθJA.
The actual package power dissipation is
PD(act) = dc(VCE • IO • 8) + (VDD • IDD).
When the load supply voltage is greater than 3 V to 5 V,
considering the package power dissipating limits of these
devices, or if PD(act) > PD(max), an external voltage
reducer (VDROP) should be used.
Load Supply Voltage (VLED). These devices are designed to operate with driver voltage drops (VCE) of 0.4 V
to 0.7 V with LED forward voltages (VF) of 1.2 V to
4.0 V. If higher voltages are dropped across the driver,
package power dissipation will be increased significantly.
To minimize package power dissipation, it is recommended to use the lowest possible load supply voltage or
to set any series dropping voltage (VDROP) as
VDROP = VLED - VF - VCE
with VDROP = Io • RDROP for a single driver, or a Zener
diode (VZ), or a series string of diodes (approximately
10
Pattern Layout. This device has separate logic-ground
and power-ground terminals. If ground pattern layout
contains large common-mode resistance, and the voltage
between the system ground and the LATCH ENABLE or
CLOCK terminals exceeds 2.5 V (because of switching
noise), these devices may not operate correctly.
