Product details
Overview
STP16CPS05TTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver in TSSOP-24 package, designed for serially controlled LED panel displays. It delivers adjustable output current (5–100 mA per channel), supports 30 MHz clock input, operates from 3.0–5.5 V supply, and features auto power-saving mode that reduces quiescent current to ≤200 µA when latched data is inactive.
For engineers reviewing the STP16CPS05TTR datasheet, STP16CPS05TTR pinout, STP16CPS05TTR application, or STP16CPS05TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include output current accuracy (±1.5% between bits at 20–100 mA), 20 V output voltage capability for series LED strings, fast 40 ns current setup time, and compatibility with 3.3 V microcontrollers via TTL/CMOS-level inputs.
Technical Context
The device integrates a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register cascaded with a 16-bit D-type storage latch, enabling synchronous data loading and output updating. Its output stage comprises sixteen matched, thermally stable current sources with external REXT-programmed regulation and ±1.5% typical inter-channel current matching.
Auto power management operates autonomously: the IC enters shutdown mode (<200 µA IDD) when no new data is latched, and resumes full operation within microseconds upon detection of valid LE-triggered data-no external control or reset required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output channels | 16 independent constant-current sinks for LED anode-to-VLED connection |
| Output current range | 5–100 mA per channel, set by single external REXT resistor (e.g., 970 Ω → 20 mA) |
| Max clock frequency | 30 MHz - enables high-speed LED refresh rates up to ~1.88 MHz per channel in cascade |
| Output voltage compliance | Up to 20 V - supports driving 6+ standard white LEDs (3.2 V VF) in series per channel |
| Current accuracy | ±1.5% typical between outputs at same VDD/T - ensures uniform LED brightness across display rows |
| Quiescent current (shutdown) | 120–200 µA at VDD = 3.3–5 V - eliminates standby power waste in static display segments |
| Propagation delay (CLK→OUT) | 17.5–55 ns (VDD = 5 V / 3.3 V) - enables precise timing control in high-refresh-rate signage |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-24 package: 4.4 mm × 7.8 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad recommended for thermal relief (RthJA = 55 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all current sinks and logic; must connect to low-impedance PCB plane |
| 2 SDI | Serial data input | CMOS/TTL-compatible input accepting 3.3 V logic; feeds shift register MSB-first |
| 3 CLK | Serial clock input | Edge-triggered clock (max 30 MHz); rising edge shifts data into internal register |
| 4 LE | Latch enable | Level-sensitive (high-active); transfers shift register contents to output latches |
| 5–20 OUT0–OUT15 | Constant-current sink outputs | Each drives LED cathode; current magnitude set by REXT, voltage headroom up to 20 V |
| 21 OE | Output enable (active low) | Global disable: forces all outputs OFF regardless of latch state; used for blanking/pulse-width dimming |
| 22 SDO | Serial data output | Daisy-chain output; forwards shifted-out bit for multi-device cascading |
| 23 R-EXT | Current setting reference | Connects external precision resistor to set full-scale output current (IOUT ∝ 1/REXT) |
| 24 VDD | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V input; powers logic and current sources; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto power-saving mode | Reduces supply current to <200 µA during static display periods without firmware intervention |
| 16-bit current-matched outputs | ±1.5% typical inter-channel current variation ensures consistent LED luminance across panels |
| Single-resistor current programming | One external REXT sets identical full-scale current for all 16 channels - simplifies BOM and calibration |
| 20 V output voltage capability | Supports longer LED strings per channel, reducing per-panel driver count and PCB routing complexity |
| 30 MHz serial interface | Enables >1 kHz full-panel update rates even with 16×16 pixel matrices using daisy-chained devices |
Applications
| Indoor LED Video Walls | Automotive Interior Lighting Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-density indoor signage with 16×N pixel modules requiring uniform brightness and low power in standby. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: LED sink driver managing 16 parallel columns per module; receives serialized pixel data via SPI-like interface.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Constant-current sink controlling individual LED segments; synchronized via MCU's GPIO-timed LE/CLK signals. Use Value: 20 V output compliance allows direct drive of 5–6串联 white LEDs per channel without boost converters, lowering bill-of-materials cost. |
| Industrial Panel Meters | Point-of-Sale Display Backlighting |
Use Scenario: 7-segment or dot-matrix displays in factory HMIs where reliability and long-term current stability are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Static segment driver updated infrequently; leverages auto-shutdown during display hold states. Use Value: ±1.5% inter-channel current matching prevents visible digit brightness mismatch over temperature (−40°C to +125°C). | Use Scenario: Edge-lit LCD backlights in retail kiosks requiring smooth PWM dimming and low EMI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Current sink for parallel LED strings; OE pin used for hardware PWM dimming at kHz frequencies. Use Value: 40 ns current setup time enables clean, jitter-free PWM edges - eliminating visual flicker at 1–5 kHz dimming frequencies. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED sink driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC59283RTJR | 16-bit sink driver with integrated PWM grayscale control (16-bit per channel); no auto power-save; requires external clock for PWM | Better suited for high-fidelity grayscale video; lacks autonomous low-power mode | Select when per-channel PWM intensity control is required over simple on/off or global dimming |
| MAX6966ATL+ | 16-bit sink with I²C interface, programmable open-drain/constant-current modes, and thermal shutdown; higher VOUT limit (25 V) | Preferred for systems needing bus-addressable configuration and fault reporting | Select when I²C configurability, diagnostics, or higher voltage headroom outweighs cost and footprint sensitivity |
Compared with TLC59283RTJR and MAX6966ATL+, the STP16CPS05TTR offers lower system-level cost and simpler timing control due to its native serial-shift architecture and autonomous power management-ideal for fixed-pattern or low-update-rate LED arrays where per-channel PWM is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for reliable operation of STP16CPS05TTR?
The STP16CPS05TTR operates reliably from 3.0 V to 5.5 V. At 3.0 V, all specifications-including 30 MHz max clock frequency, 5–100 mA output current range, and logic-level compatibility-are guaranteed per the datasheet's recommended operating conditions. Below 3.0 V, output current regulation degrades and propagation delays increase beyond specification limits.
How does the auto power-saving feature activate and recover?
The auto power-saving feature activates automatically when no new data is latched (LE remains low for >100 µs), reducing supply current to ≤200 µA. Recovery occurs within 1 µs of a valid LE high pulse-no external reset or initialization sequence is needed. The first output transition after wake-up exhibits a 40 ns current setup time, as specified in the datasheet.
Can STP16CPS05TTR drive LEDs with forward voltages exceeding 5 V per string?
Yes. Each output supports up to 20 V compliance voltage, allowing series connection of multiple LEDs (e.g., six 3.2 V white LEDs = 19.2 V). The current source maintains regulation as long as VOUT ≤ 20 V and VDD − VOUT ≥ dropout voltage (~0.3 V at 20 mA), verified across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +125°C).
Is the exposed pad on the TSSOP-24 package electrically connected?
Yes-the exposed pad on the STP16CPS05TTR's TSSOP-24 package is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a dedicated PCB copper land tied to the system ground plane. This connection reduces thermal resistance by ~15 °C/W (RthJA drops from 55 to ~40 °C/W), improving reliability under sustained 100 mA/channel operation.
