Furthermore, MBI5029 uses the idea of Share-I-O™ technology to make MBI5029 backward compatible with MBI5026 in both package and electrical characteristics and extend its functionality for LED load Error Detection and run-time LED current gain control in LED display systems, especially LED traffic sign applications. MBI5029 contains a 16-bit Shift Register and a 16-bit Output Latch, which convert serial input data into parallel output format. At MBI5029 output stages, sixteen regulated current ports are designed to provide uniform and constant current sinks with small skew between ports for driving LED’s within a wide range of forward voltage (Vf) variations. Users may adjust the output current from 5 mA to 90 mA with an external resistor Rext, which gives users flexibility in controlling the light intensity of LED’s. MBI5029 guarantees to endure maximum 17V at the output ports. Besides, the high clock frequency up to 25 MHz also satisfies the system requirements of high volume data transmission. Besides Normal Mode, MBI5029 provide another mode, Special Mode, to extend its functionality by means of the Share-I-O™ technique on pins LE and OE , without any extra pins. In Special Mode two functions are included, Error Detection and Current Gain Control. Thus, MBI5029 could be a drop-in replacement of MBI5026. The printed circuit board originally designed for MBI5026 may be also applied to MBI5029. In MBI5029 there are two operation modes and three phases: Normal Mode phase, Mode Switching transition phase, and Special Mode phase. The signal on the multiple function pin OE / SW / ED would be monitored. Once an one-clock-wide short pulse appears on the pin OE / SW / ED , MBI5029 would enter the Mode Switching phase. At this moment, the voltage level on the pin LE/MOD/CA is used to determine the next mode to which MBI5029 is going to switch. In the Normal Mode phase, MBI5029 has exactly the same functionality with MBI5026. The serial data could be transferred into MBI5029 via the pin SDI, shifted in the Shift Register, and go out via the pin SDO. The LE/MOD/CA can latch the serial data in the Shift Register to the Output Latch. OE / SW / ED would enable the output drivers to sink current. In the Special Mode phase, the low-voltage-level signal OE / SW / ED can enable output channels and detect the status of the output current to tell if the driving current level is enough or not. The detected error status would be loaded into the 16-bit Shift Register and be shifted out via the pin SDO along with the signal CLK. Then system controller could read the error status and know whether the LED’s are properly lit or not. On the other hand, in the Special Mode phase MBI5029 also allows users to adjust the output current level by setting a run-time programmable Configuration Code. The code is sent into MBI5029 via the pin SDI. The positive pulse of LE/MOD/CA would latch the code in the Shift Register into a built-in 16-bit Configuration Latch, instead of the Output Latch. The code would affect the voltage at the terminal R-EXT and control the output current regulator. The output current could be adjusted finely by a gain ranging from 1/9 to 95/96 in 128 steps. Hence, the current skew between IC’s can be compensated within less than 1% and this feature is suitable for white balancing in LED color display panels. -2- April 2005, VA.02 MBI5029 Pin Configuration 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 CN\CNS\CD\CF\CP\ MBI5029 CPA\GPA GN\GNS\GD\GF\GP Terminal Description Pin Name Function GND Ground terminal for control logic and current sinks SDI Serial-data input to the Shift Register CLK Clock input terminal for data shift at the rising edge Output channel data strobe input terminal: in the Normal Mode phase, serial data in the Shift Register is transferred to the respective Output Latch when LE/MOD/CA is high; the data is latched inside the Output Latch when LE/MOD/CA goes low. If the data in the Output Latch is “1” (High), the respective output channel LE/MOD/CA OUT0 ~ OUT15 OE / SW / ED will be enabled after OE / SW / ED is pulled down to low. Mode selection input terminal: in the Mode Switching phase, LE/MOD/CA couldn’t strobe serial data but its level is used for determining the next mode to which MBI5029 is going to switch. When LE/MOD/CA is high, the next mode is the Special Mode; when low, the next mode is the Normal Mode. Configuration data strobe input terminal: in the Special Mode phase, serial data is latched into the Configuration Latch, instead of the Output Latch in the Normal Mode. The serial data here is regarded as the Configuration Code, which affect the output current level of all channels. Constant current output terminals Output enable terminal: no matter in what phase MBI5029 operates, the signal OE / SW / ED can always enable output drivers to sink current. When its level is (active) low, the output drivers are enabled; when high, all output drivers are turned OFF (blanked). Mode switching trigger terminal: an one-clock-wide short pulse signal of OE / SW / ED could put MBI5029 into the Mode Switching phase. Error detection enable terminal: in the Special Mode phase, the active low signal OE / SW / ED can make MBI5029 not just enable output drivers but detect LED load error status. The detected error status would be stored into the Shift Register.

This can be achieved by: 1) While IOUT ≦ 60mA, the maximum current skew between channels is less than ±3% and that between ICs is less than ±6%. 2) In addition, the characteristics curve of output stage in the saturation region is flat and users can refer to the figure as shown below. Thus, the output current can be kept constant regardless of the variations of LED forward voltages (Vf). The output current level in the saturation region is defined as output target current Iout,target. 100.00 90.00 80.00 Iout (mA) 70.00 60.00 50.00 40.00 30.00 20.00 10.00 0.00 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 2 2.5 V DS (V) - 15 - April 2005, VA.02 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 Adjusting Output Current MBI5029 scales up the reference current Iref set by the external resistor Rext to sink a current Iout at each output port. Users can follow the below formulas to calculate the output current Iout in the saturation region: VR-EXT = 1.4175Volt x G Iref = VR-EXT / Rext if another end of the external resistor Rext is connected to ground. Iout, target = Iref x 15 = (1.4175Volt x G / Rext) x 15 where Rext is the resistance of the external resistor connected to the R-EXT terminal, and VR-EXT is the voltage of the R-EXT terminal and controlled by the programmable current gain G, which is defined by the Configuration Code. After power-on, the default value of G is 95/96 = 0.9896. Based on the default current gain, VR-EXT = 1.4175Volt x 0.9896 = 1.40Volt Iout, target = (1.40Volt / Rext ) x 15 Hence, the default magnitude of current is around 52mA at 404Ω and 26mA at 809Ω. The default relationship after power-on between Iout,target and Rext is shown in the following figure.

In order to switch between the two modes, MBI5029 monitors the signal OE/SW/ ED . Once an one-clock-wide pulse of OE/SW/ ED appears, MBI5029 would enter the two-clock-period transition phase---the Mode Switching phase. After power-on, the default operation mode is the Normal Mode. - 16 - April 2005, VA.02 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 Operation Mode Switching Switching to the Special Mode 1 2 3 4 Switching to the Normal Mode 5 CLK CLK OE/SW/ ED LE/MOD/CA 1 0 1 x x x 1 2 3 4 5 x x 0 x x x OE/SW/ ED 1 0 1 1 x LE/MOD/CA x x x Voltage Low Voltage High Phase Normal Mode or Mode Special Special Mode Switching Mode Phase Normal Mode or Mode Normal Special Mode Switching Mode As shown in the above figures, once a one-clock-wide short pulse “101” of OE/SW/ ED appears, MBI5029 would enter the Mode Switching phase. At the 4th rising edge of CLK, if LE/MOD/CA is sampled as “Voltage High”, MBI5029 would switch to the Special Mode; otherwise, it would switch to the Normal Mode. Worthwhile noticing, the signal LE/MOD/CA between the 3rd and the 5th rising edges of CLK can not latch any data. Its level is just used for determining which mode to switch. However, the short pulse of OE/SW/ ED can still enable the output ports. During the mode switching, the serial data can still be transferred through the pin SDI and shifted out from the pin SDO. Note: 1. The signal sequence for the mode switching could be frequently used for making sure under which mode MBI5029 is working. 2. The aforementioned “1” and “0” are sampled at the rising edge of CLK. The “X” means its level would not affect the result of mode switching mechanism. Normal Mode Phase MBI5029 in the Normal Mode phase has similar functionality to MBI5026. The serial data could be transferred into MBI5029 via the pin SDI, shifted in the Shift Register, and go out via the pin SDO. The LE/MOD/CA can latch the serial data in the Shift Register to the Output Latch. OE/SW/ ED would enable the output drivers to sink current. The only difference is mentioned in the last paragraph about monitoring short pulse OE/SW/ ED . The short pulse would trigger MBI5029 to switch the operation mode. However, as long as the signal LE/MOD/CA is not Voltage High in the Mode Switching phase, MBI5029 would still remain in the Normal Mode as if no mode switching occurs. - 17 - April 2005, VA.02 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 Special Mode Phase In the Special Mode, as long as OE/SW/ ED is not at the Voltage Low, the serial data can still be shifted to the Shift Register via the pin SDI and shifted out via the SDO pin, as in the Normal Mode. But there are two differences between the Special Mode and the Normal Mode. 2 1 n≧3 CLK At least 2 µs OE/SW/ ED 1 0 0 0 SDO 1 1 1 1 Error Status Code Bit15 Bit14 Bit13 Bit12 Bit11 Data Source of From pin SDI Shift Register From Error Detector From pin SDI Reading Error Status Code (in Special Mode) The first difference is that when the state of OE/SW/ ED is pulled down to Voltage Low, MBI5029 in the Special Mode would execute error detection and load error status codes into the Shift Register, as well as enabling output ports to sink current. The above figure shows the timing sequence for error detection. The shown “0” and “1” are sampled at the rising edge of each CLK. At least three “0” must be sampled at the Voltage Low signal OE/SW/ ED . Just after the 2nd “0” is sampled, the data input source of the Shift Register would come from 16-bit parallel error status codes out of the circuit Error Detector, instead of serial data input via the pin SDI. Normally, the error status codes will be correctly generated at least 2µs after the falling edge of OE/SW/ ED . The occurrence of the 3rd or later “0” results in the event that MBI5029 saves the detected error status codes into the Shift Register. Thus, when OE/SW/ ED is at the Voltage Low state, the serial data cannot be shifted into MBI5029 via the pin SDI. But when the state of OE/SW/ ED is pulled up to Voltage High from Voltage Low, the data input source of the Shift Register would again come from the pin SDI. At the same time, the output ports are disabled and the error detection is completed. Then, the error status codes saved in the Shift Register could be shifted out via the pin SDO bit by bit along with CLK, as well as the new serial data can be shifted into MBI5029 via the pin SDI. The limitation is that in the Special Mode, it couldn’t be allowed to simultaneously transfer serial data and detect LED load error status. - 18 - April 2005, VA.02 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 Writing Configuration Code N=0 1 2 3 4 5 12 13 14 15 Bit3 Bit2 Bit1 Bit0 CLK LE/MOD/CA SDI 16-Bit Configuration Code Bit15 Bit14 Bit13 Bit12 Bit11 Bit10 : don’t care The second difference is that the active high signal LE/MOD/CA latches the serial data in the Shift Register to the Configuration Latch, instead of the Output Latch. The latched serial data is regarded as the Configuration Code. The code would be memorized until power off or the Configuration Latch is re-written. As shown above, the timing for writing the Configuration Code is the same as that in the Normal Mode for latching output channel data. As aforementioned descriptions, both of Configuration Code and Error Status Code are transferred in common 16-bit Shift Register. Users must pay attention to the sequence of error detection and current adjustment to avoid the Configuration Code being overwritten by Error Status Code. Open-Circuit Detection Principle Iout Given Rext Iout, target MBI5029Output Characteristics Curve Iout, effect Loading Line VDS, effect Vknee VDS VDS, Th ~ Vknee + 0.2Volt The principle of MBI5029 LED Open-Circuit Detection is based on the fact that the LED loading status is judged by comparing the effective current value(Iout, effect) of each output port with the target current(Iout, target) set by Rext. As shown in the above figure, the knee voltage (Vknee) is the one between triode region and saturation region. The cross point between the loading line and MBI5029 output characteristics curve is the effective output point (VDS, effect, Iout, effect).Thus, to detect the status of LED correctly, the output ports of MBI5029 must be enabled. The relationship between the Error Status code and the effective output point is shown below: State of Output Port Condition of Effective Output Point OFF Iout, effect = 0 Iout, effect ≦ Iout, target and Vout, effect < VDS, Th ON Iout, effect = Iout, target and Vout, effect ≧ VDS, Th Note：the threshold voltage VDS, Th is around Vknee + 0.2Volt - 19 - Detected Open-Circuit Error Status Code “0” “0” “1” Meaning Open Circuit Normal April 2005, VA.02 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 Short-Circuit Detection Principle Iout Given Rext Iout, effect1 = Iout, target MBI5029Output Characteristics Curve Loading Line with short error occurring Iout, effect2 Normal Loading Line VDS, effect2 Vknee VDS, Th VDS VDS, effect1 When LED is damaged, a short-circuit error may occur. To effectively detect the short-circuit error, LEDs need insufficiently biasing. The principle of MBI5029 LED Short Circuit Detection is based on the fact that the LED loading status is judged by comparing the effective current value(Iout, effect) of each output port with the target current(Iout, target) set by Rext. When normal LED is insufficiently biased, its effective output point would be located at the ramp segment (VDS < VDS,Th) of MBI5029 Output Characteristics Curve, compared with LED with a short error falling within the flat zone (VDS ≧ VDS,Th). The relationship between the Error Status code and the effective output point is shown below: State of Output Port Condition of Effective Output Point OFF Iout, effect = 0 Iout, effect ≦ Iout, target and Vout, effect < VDS, Th ON Iout, effect = Iout, target and Vout, effect ≧ VDS, Th Note：the threshold voltage VDS, Th is around Vknee + 0.2Volt - 20 - Detected Short-Circuit Error Status Code “0” “0” “1” Meaning Normal Short Circuit April 2005, VA.02 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 Current Gain … G = 95/96 64 steps …. ….

Then sending LE/MOD/CA active pulse will transfer the contents in the Shift Register to a 16-bit Configuration Latch rather than the 16-bit Output Latch in a Normal mode. The 7-bit Current Adjust code in the Configuration Latch will directly affect the voltage at R-EXT terminal and output current Iout,target by the current gain, G. The relationship between the Current Adjust Code {HC, CC〔0:5〕｝and current gain G is shown below: G = [(1 + 2 x HC)/3]x [(1 + D/32)/3] where HC is 1 or 0 (HC=0 : Low current band; HC=1 : High current band) and - 21 - April 2005, VA.02 16-Bit Constant Current LED Sink Driver with LED Error Detection and Run-Time Current Adjustment MBI5029 D = CC0 x 25+ CC1 x 24+ CC2 x 23+ CC3 x 22+ CC4 x 21+ CC5 x 20; So, the Current Adjust Code is a floating number with one bit exponent HC and 6-bit mantissa. For example, when the Current Adjust Code is (1,1,1,1,1,1,1) Gain, G = [(1 + 2 x 1)/3] x [(1 + 63/32)/3]= 0.9896 when the Current Adjust Code is (1,0,0,0,0,0,0) Gain, G = [(1 + 2 x 1)/3] x [(1 + 0/32)/3]= 1/3 when the Current Adjust Code is (0,0,0,0,0,0,0) Gain, G = [(1 + 2 x 0)/3] x [(1 + 0/32)/3]= 1/9 After power on, the default value of Current Adjust Code is (1,1,1,1,1,1,1). Thus, G is 0.9896. Typically, the output current resulted by the digital current gain, G, is shown as the figure below.

Pure tin is widely accepted by customers and suppliers of electronic devices in Europe, Asia and the US as the lead-free surface finish of choice to replace tin-lead. Also, it is backward compatible to standard 215ºC to 240ºC reflow processes which adopt tin/lead (SnPb) solder paste.

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 PD(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.
