Description
The STP24DP05 is a monolithic, low-voltage, low
current power 24-bit shift register designed for
LED panel displays. The device contains an
8 x 3-bit serial-IN, parallel-OUT shift register that
feeds a 8 x 3-bit D-type storage register. In the
output stage, twenty four regulated current
sources were designed to provide 5-80 mA
constant current to drive the LEDs.
The 8 x 3 shift register data flow sequence order
can be managed through two dedicated pins.
The STP24DP05 has a dedicated pin to activate
the outputs with a sequential delay, that prevents
inrush current during output turn-ON.
The device detection circuit checks 3 different
conditions that can occur on the output line: short
to GND, short to V
O
, or open line.
The data detection results are loaded in the shift
registers and shifted out via the serial line output.
The detection functionality is activated with a
dedicated pin or alternatively, through a logic
sequence that allows the user to enter or exit
detection mode.
Through three external resistors, the user can
adjust the output current for each 8-channel
group, therefore controlling the light intensity
of LEDs.
The STP24DP05 guarantees a 20 V output
driving capability, allowing the user to connect
more LEDs in series.
The high clock frequency, 25 MHz, makes the
device suitable for high data rate transmission.
The 3.3 V of voltage supply is useful for
applications that interface any microcontroller
from 3.3 V.
