DESCRIPTION
The
STP16C596A
is
a
monolithic,
medium-voltage, low current power 16-bit shift
register designed for LED panel displays. The
STP16C596A contains a 16-bit serial-in,
parallel-out shift register that feeds a 16-bitD-type
storage register. In the output stage, sixteen
regulated current sources are designed to provide
15-120mA constant current to drive the LEDs.
The serial output change state on the falling edges
of clock, this special feature will provide an
improved performance of the application when the
clock signal is skewed because the daisy chain is
too long.

(exposed pad)
Through an external resistor, users may adjust the
STP16C596A output current, controlling in this
way the light intensity of LEDs.
The STP16C596A guarantees a 16V output
driving capability, allowing users to connect more
LEDs in series. The high clock frequency, 25 MHz,
also satisfies the system demand for high volume
data transmission. Compared with a standard
TSSOP package, the TSSOP exposed pad
increases heat dissipation capability by a 2.5
factor.
