As an enhancement of its predecessor, MBI5016, MBI5025 exploits PrecisionDrive™ technology to enhance its output characteristics. MBI5025 contains a serial buffer and data latches which convert serial input data into parallel output format. At MBI5025 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. MBI5025 provides users with great flexibility and device performance while using MBI5025 in their system design for LED display applications, e.g. LED panels. Users may adjust the output current from 3 mA to 35 mA through an external resistor, R ext, which gives users flexibility in controlling the light intensity of LEDs. MBI5025 guarantees to endure maximum 17V at the output port. The high clock frequency, 25 MHz, also satisfies the system requirements of high volume data transmission.

This can be achieved by: 1) The maximum current variation between channels is less than ±3%, and that between ICs is less than ±6%. 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. 60 Iout (mA) 50 40 30 VDS = 1.0V 20 10 0 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 Rext (Ω) Resistance of the external resistor, Rext, in Ω Also, the output current can be calculated from the equation: VR-EXT = 1.26V;IOUT = (VR-EXT / Rext ) x 15 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 30mA at 620Ω and 15mA at 1260Ω. - 10 - January 2004, V0.9 MBI5025 16-bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver Package Power Dissipation (PD) The maximum allowable package power dissipation is determined as P D(max) = (Tj – Ta) / Rth(j-a). When 16 output channels are turned on simultaneously, the actual package power dissipation is PD(act) = (IDD x VDD) + (IOUT x Duty x VDS x 16). Therefore, to keep P D(act) ≤ PD(max), the allowable maximum output current as a function of duty cycle is: IOUT = { [ (Tj – Ta) / Rth(j-a) ] – (IDD x VDD) } / VDS / Duty / 16, where Tj = 150°C. Load Supply Voltage (VLED) MBI5025 are designed to operate with VDS ranging from 0.4V to 0.8V (IOUT=5~35mA) considering the package power dissipating limits. VDS may be higher enough to make PD(act) > PD(max) when VLED = 5V and VDS = VLED – Vf, in which VLED is the load supply voltage. In this case, it is recommended to use the lowest possible supply voltage or to set an external voltage reducer, VDROP. A voltage reducer lets VDS = (VLED – Vf) – VDROP. Resistors or Zener diode can be used in the applications as shown in the following figures.
