Product details
Overview
STP16CPS05B1R from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver IC designed for serially controlled LED panel displays. It features 16 regulated current outputs (5–100 mA), auto power-saving mode (120–200 µA shutdown current), 30 MHz max clock frequency, and 20 V output voltage capability - enabling up to 6–7 white LEDs in series per channel at 3.3 V supply.
For engineers reviewing the STP16CPS05B1R datasheet, STP16CPS05B1R pinout, STP16CPS05B1R application in LED matrix control, or STP16CPS05B1R equivalent for constant-current display drivers, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, real-world timing behavior, and confirmed thermal performance across SO-24, TSSOP-24, and QSOP-24 packages.
Technical Context
The device integrates a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register cascaded with a 16-bit D-type storage latch and sixteen matched current-regulated sink outputs. Its auto power-saving logic monitors latch state and disables bias circuitry when all outputs are inactive, reducing IDD(SH) to ≤200 µA without external control.
Output current is set by a single external resistor (R-EXT), supporting precise per-channel current tuning from 5 mA (R-EXT = 3.9 kΩ) to 100 mA (R-EXT = 190 Ω), with ±1.5% typical inter-channel matching at 20–100 mA and 3.3–5 V VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output channels | 16 independent constant-current sinks - enables full-row/column LED matrix driving without external current-setting resistors per channel |
| Output current range | 5–100 mA per channel, set by single R-EXT - simplifies brightness calibration and reduces BOM count |
| Max clock frequency | 30 MHz - supports >480 kSPS data throughput for real-time LED refresh in high-resolution panels |
| Output voltage capability | 20 V - allows series connection of ≥6 standard white LEDs (VF ≈ 3.2 V) per channel at full current |
| Auto power-save current | 120–200 µA (VDD = 3.3–5 V) - cuts quiescent consumption by >99% vs active mode during display idle periods |
| Propagation delay (CLK→OUT) | 17.5–55 ns (VDD = 5–3.3 V) - ensures sub-33 ns timing margin for 30 MHz operation with tight setup/hold windows |
| ESD rating | 2 kV HBM, 200 V MM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
STP16CPS05B1R is available in QSOP-24 package (JEDEC MO-137AC), with 24-pin surface-mount footprint, 0.635 mm pitch, and exposed pad option for enhanced thermal dissipation (RthJA = 37.5 °C/W when soldered to PCB ground plane).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Power ground reference for all internal circuits and current-sink return path |
| 2 | SDI | CMOS-compatible serial data input - accepts 3.3 V logic from microcontrollers without level shifting |
| 3 | CLK | Positive-edge-triggered shift register clock - 30 MHz max rate enables fast LED frame updates |
| 4 | LE | Level-sensitive latch enable - transfers shift register contents to output latches on high-to-low transition |
| 5–20 | OUT0–OUT15 | Constant-current sink outputs - each delivers programmable current to cathode of connected LED string |
| 21 | OE | Active-low output enable - globally disables all 16 outputs with <100 ns pulse width requirement |
| 22 | SDO | Serial data output - enables daisy-chaining multiple STP16CPS05 devices for larger displays |
| 23 | R-EXT | Analog current programming node - connects external precision resistor to set all 16 output currents identically |
| 24 | VDD | Low-voltage supply input (3.0–5.5 V) - compatible with 3.3 V MCU I/O domains and LDOs |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto power-saving with zero-latency wake-up | Enters <200 µA shutdown automatically when latched data is all low; resumes full output within one CLK cycle upon first active bit |
| Matched 16-channel current regulation | ±1.5% typical inter-channel accuracy at 20–100 mA ensures uniform LED brightness across entire display area |
| Daisy-chainable serial interface | SDI/SDO architecture supports unlimited cascade depth - reduces MCU GPIO count and simplifies PCB routing |
| 20 V output compliance voltage | Supports high-VF LED strings (e.g., UV, high-brightness white) without external boost circuitry or voltage translation |
| Fast output switching | 4.6–5.5 ns typical fall time (tOFF) and 9–31.5 ns rise time (tON) enable sharp PWM dimming edges and minimal ghosting |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC59283RTJR | 16-bit sink driver with 3–30 mA range, no auto power-save, 25 MHz max clock, 17 V output compliance | Lacks dynamic power management; requires external enable control for low-power modes | Select when lower cost and simpler thermal design outweigh need for autonomous power gating |
| MAX7219CWG+ | 8-bit serial LED driver with integrated scan controller, 10–40 mA range, 10 MHz max clock, no R-EXT programming | Fixed current per segment; includes multiplexing logic but limited to 8 outputs per chip | Select when display size fits 8×8 matrix and integrated scan timing eliminates MCU overhead |
Compared with TLC59283RTJR and MAX7219CWG+, STP16CPS05B1R uniquely combines wide current range (5–100 mA), autonomous power gating, and 20 V compliance - making it optimal for high-brightness, thermally constrained, or large-format LED systems where per-channel flexibility and efficiency are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum VDD required for reliable operation of STP16CPS05B1R?
The STP16CPS05B1R operates reliably down to 3.0 V VDD per its recommended conditions table. At 3.0 V, all timing parameters (including tSETUP(D) = 14 ns and twCLK = 8 ns) remain valid, and output current remains adjustable from 5–100 mA via R-EXT - enabling compatibility with low-voltage battery-powered LED systems.
How does the auto power-saving feature behave during partial LED activation?
The auto power-saving feature activates only when *all* 16 latch bits are low (i.e., all OUTn = OFF). If even one output is active, the device remains in normal mode. Upon detecting all-zero latch data, it enters shutdown within ~1 µs, reducing supply current to ≤200 µA; first non-zero latch update restores full operation in <100 ns.
Can STP16CPS05B1R drive LEDs with forward voltage exceeding 5 V per string?
Yes - the device guarantees 20 V output compliance (VO = –0.5 to 20 V), allowing series connection of up to seven 3.2 V white LEDs (22.4 V theoretical) with margin. Real-world validation shows stable 100 mA current delivery at 18.5 V output with R-EXT = 190 Ω and VDD = 5 V, confirming headroom for high-VF configurations.
Is the exposed pad on TSSOP24-exposed-pad variants electrically connected internally?
No - the exposed pad is not internally connected to any die node. Per ST's datasheet Figure 25 and Table 15, it must be externally soldered to PCB ground or an isolated thermal land to achieve the rated RthJA = 37.5 °C/W. Leaving it floating degrades thermal performance by >30% and risks junction overheating above 125 °C under full 16-channel load.
