Product details
Overview
STP04CM05XTTR from STMicroelectronics is a 4-channel constant-current LED sink driver with integrated 4-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register, designed for high-brightness power-LED arrays. It delivers 80–400 mA per channel, supports 20 V output swing, operates from 3.3 V or 5 V logic, and features thermal shutdown, UVLO, and POR - used in outdoor signage, architectural lighting, and industrial status displays.
For engineers reviewing the STP04CM05XTTR datasheet, STP04CM05XTTR pinout, STP04CM05XTTR application, or STP04CM05XTTR equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable current via REXT, 30 MHz clock tolerance, TSSOP16 exposed-pad thermal performance, latch/enable timing margins, and cascade-compatible serial data chaining.
Technical Context
The STP04CM05XTTR integrates a 4-bit shift register feeding a D-type storage latch, enabling synchronous serial loading and parallel output latching. Its four independent current-regulated sinks use external REXT to set identical per-channel current across 80–400 mA, with ±1% matching between outputs and ±6% unit-to-unit accuracy.
Level-sensitive LE and active-low OE control allow asynchronous latching and global output blanking without clock synchronization. Propagation delays (e.g., tPLH2 = 140–260 ns at VDD = 5 V) and fast output switching (tOFF ≤ 18 ns) support high-speed multiplexed LED driving in cascaded configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output channels | 4 independent constant-current sinks, each programmable via single REXT |
| Output current range | 80–400 mA per channel; set by REXT = 190 Ω–190 kΩ |
| Output voltage capability | Up to 20 V headroom enables series strings of ≥6 white LEDs (VF ≈ 3.2 V) |
| Max clock frequency | 30 MHz - supports >120 kSPS serial update rate for 4-bit data |
| Logic supply voltage | 3.3 V or 5 V compatible; VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD, VIL ≤ 0.3×VDD |
| Thermal protection | Automatic output disable above junction temperature limit; self-reset on cooldown |

Pinout & Package
TSSOP16 exposed pad package with thermal pad electrically isolated or connected to GND; 5.0 mm × 6.4 mm footprint, 0.65 mm pitch, JEDEC-standard multi-layer board RthJA = 37.5 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 GND | Ground reference | Power and signal return; exposed pad must be soldered for thermal performance |
| 3 SDI | Serial data input | CMOS-compatible input accepting 3.3 V/5 V logic; feeds shift register MSB-first |
| 4 CLK | Shift clock input | Rising-edge triggered; 30 MHz max; tr/tf ≤ 5 μs required for reliable cascading |
| 5 LE | Latch enable | Level-sensitive; high → transfers shift register contents to output latch |
| 6–7, 10–11 OUT0–OUT3 | Constant-current sink outputs | Each drives LED cathode; 20 V max VDS; current accuracy ±1% between channels |
| 8, 9, 12 N.C. | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
| 13 OE | Output enable (active low) | Global blanking: high → all outputs off regardless of latch state |
| 14 SDO | Serial data output | Daisy-chain capable; outputs shifted-out bit after 4 CLK cycles |
| 15 R-EXT | Current-setting resistor terminal | Connects to external precision resistor; sets all 4 channels identically |
| 16 VDD | Positive supply | 3.3 V or 5 V nominal; absolute max 7 V; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-resistor current programming | One external REXT sets identical 80–400 mA across all 4 channels with ±1% matching |
| Cascade-ready serial interface | SDI/SDO supports daisy-chaining multiple drivers without additional logic or timing overhead |
| Asynchronous latch & blanking | LE and OE operate independently of CLK edge, enabling precise frame-level LED control |
| Robust thermal management | Thermal shutdown activates before junction exceeds safe limit; auto-recovery avoids system reset |
| High-voltage LED string support | 20 V output compliance allows ≥6-series white LEDs at 350 mA without external boost |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar constant-current LED sink driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC59282RTJR | 16-channel, 12-bit PWM dimming; no thermal shutdown; 17 V max output | Requires external MCU PWM generation; better for grayscale control, weaker thermal safety | Select when fine-grained PWM dimming is prioritized over fault protection and high-VF LED support |
| AL8863SP-13 | Single-channel, 1.5 A max; analog/digital dimming; 40 V max output; no shift register | Needs discrete logic for multi-channel sync; superior for high-current single-string designs | Select when driving single high-power LED strings (>500 mA) with minimal BOM count |
Compared with TLC59282RTJR and AL8863SP-13, STP04CM05XTTR uniquely balances 4-channel integration, 20 V compliance, embedded thermal safety, and 30 MHz serial throughput - making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained, multi-LED systems where reliability and simplicity outweigh ultra-fine dimming resolution.

FAQ
What is the minimum REXT value to achieve 400 mA output current?
The datasheet specifies REXT = 190 Ω for 400 mA (IOL2 = 376–424 mA at VO = 1.2 V). Using 1% tolerance metal-film resistor ensures current accuracy within ±1.5%. Lower resistance risks exceeding absolute max ratings and invalidates current regulation linearity.
Can STP04CM05XTTR drive LEDs with forward voltage >20 V?
No. The device guarantees 20 V maximum output voltage (VO); exceeding this risks immediate failure. For 24 V LED strings, a boost converter must precede the driver, or a higher-voltage alternative like the STP16CP05 must be selected.
How does the exposed thermal pad affect PCB layout?
The exposed pad must be soldered to a dedicated copper pour (≥200 mm²) connected to GND or left floating per ST's ECOPACK® guidelines. Thermal vias (≥6×0.3 mm) beneath the pad reduce RthJA by ~30%, critical for maintaining <125 °C junction temperature at 400 mA/channel.
Is STP04CM05XTTR AEC-Q100 qualified?
No. While it operates across −40 °C to +125 °C and includes UVLO/TSD, ST does not list STP04CM05XTTR in its AEC-Q100 qualified portfolio. For automotive lighting, ST recommends the AEC-Q100–qualified STP16CP05 or similar qualified variants.
