Product details
Overview
STAP16DPS05XTTR from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver with integrated open/short output error detection and auto power-saving, designed for automotive dashboard and exterior lighting systems. It delivers 5–100 mA per channel across 16 outputs, operates from 3 V to 5.5 V supply, supports 30 MHz serial clocking, and features AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive reliability.
For engineers reviewing the STAP16DPS05XTTR datasheet, STAP16DPS05XTTR pinout, STAP16DPS05XTTR application, or STAP16DPS05XTTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V output voltage rating, ±1.5% channel-to-channel current accuracy at 3.3 V, thermal shutdown at 170 °C, HTSSOP24 exposed-pad package for enhanced thermal dissipation, and dual-mode operation (normal drive + error detection) using OE/DM2 and LE/DM1 control logic.
Technical Context
The device integrates a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register feeding a 16-bit D-type storage register, driving sixteen regulated current sources with adjustable output via external REXT. Its detection circuit identifies three fault conditions-open line, short to GND, and short to VO-without additional pins, loading results into the shift register for serial readback via SDO.
Operation modes are controlled by dedicated logic sequences on OE/DM2 and LE/DM1: five-clock entry sequence initiates detection mode; latch and enable signals remain level-sensitive and asynchronous to CLK; auto power-saving reduces supply current to 200–300 µA when outputs are disabled, while maintaining full 30 MHz data throughput capability in normal mode.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
HTSSOP24 package with exposed thermal pad (soldered to PCB ground plane), providing 37.5 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - 2.5× better heat dissipation than standard TSSOP24.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Common return path for all currents; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity |
| SDI (Pin 2) | Serial data input | Accepts 3.3 V–compatible logic; feeds 16-bit shift register for LED pattern programming |
| CLK (Pin 3) | Clock input | Edge-triggered synchronous input; supports up to 30 MHz for fast LED refresh rates |
| LE/DM1 (Pin 4) | Latch/detection mode control | Level-sensitive latch enable; low = hold data, high = update; dual-function pin for entering detection mode |
| OUT0–OUT15 (Pins 5–20) | Constant-current sink outputs | 16 individually controllable LED drivers; each rated for 20 V output swing and 100 mA max current |
| OE/DM2 (Pin 21) | Output enable/detection mode control | Active-low output enable; also used with LE/DM1 to initiate 5-cycle detection sequence |
| SDO (Pin 22) | Serial data output | Shifts out 16-bit error detection results during detection mode; compatible with 3.3 V microcontroller inputs |
| R-EXT (Pin 23) | Current-setting resistor terminal | Connects external resistor to set precise output current (e.g., 976 Ω → 20 mA); determines ISET and dropout voltage |
| VDD (Pin 24) | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V input; powers internal logic and current generators; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated open/short detection | Detects open-circuit, short-to-GND, and short-to-VO on all 16 outputs without extra pins or external circuitry |
| Auto power-saving mode | Reduces supply current to 200–300 µA when outputs disabled - extends system standby time in infotainment displays |
| Backward compatibility | Pin- and function-compatible with STP16C/L596 - enables drop-in upgrade path for legacy designs |
| High-voltage output stage | 20 V-rated current generators - supports multi-LED strings in DTRLs and instrument clusters without external boost |
| Thermal shutdown protection | 170 °C junction limit with hysteresis - prevents latch-up or permanent damage during transient overloads |

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation?
The STAP16DPS05XTTR operates reliably down to 3.0 V, supporting direct connection to 3.3 V microcontroller systems and automotive battery brownout conditions. At 3.0 V, it maintains full 16-channel drive capability up to 50 mA per channel with REXT adjusted accordingly, and retains all detection and auto power-saving functions.
How does the open/short detection mode work without adding pins?
Detection uses existing OE/DM2 and LE/DM1 pins in a defined 5-clock sequence to enter mode, then shifts fault status bits out via the standard SDO pin. The detection circuit monitors each output's current during a brief active period and encodes results as 16-bit serial data - eliminating need for extra I/O or ADC resources.
Can the STAP16DPS05XTTR drive multiple LEDs in series per channel?
Yes - its 20 V output voltage rating allows up to six 3.2 V white LEDs (19.2 V total) in series per channel at nominal current. Dropout voltage remains below 80 mV at 20 mA, ensuring stable regulation even with marginal headroom, and thermal design accommodates continuous 100 mA operation with proper PCB copper area.
Is the HTSSOP24 exposed pad electrically connected internally?
No - the exposed pad is electrically isolated from internal circuitry per ST's mechanical drawing; it must be soldered to a PCB ground plane solely for thermal conduction. Electrical grounding is achieved through Pin 1 (GND); connecting the pad to GND improves thermal resistance by 2.5× but is not required for functionality.
