Product details
Overview
STP16DPP05PTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver in QSOP-24 package, designed for LED panel displays requiring precise current regulation and fault detection. It delivers 3–40 mA per channel with ±1% inter-channel accuracy at 5 mA, supports 30 MHz serial data clocking, and integrates open/short LED detection without additional pins using dual-mode DM1/DM2 control logic.
For engineers reviewing the STP16DPP05PTR datasheet, STP16DPP05PTR pinout, STP16DPP05PTR application, or STP16DPP05PTR equivalent, key selection criteria include output current adjustability via R-EXT, 20 V output voltage capability for multi-LED strings, 3.3 V MCU compatibility, thermal performance of QSOP-24 (RthJA = 55 °C/W), and error detection timing sequence compliance.
Technical Context
The device implements a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register feeding a D-type storage latch, followed by sixteen matched current-regulated sink outputs. Output current is set externally via R-EXT (e.g., 497 Ω → 40 mA) and remains stable across VDD = 3–5.5 V and TA = −40 to +125 °C.
Error detection operates in three phases: entry via 5-cycle OE/DM2 & LE/DM1 logic sequence, 1 µs per-output analysis of open/short conditions using IO and VO thresholds, and return to normal mode via dedicated 5-cycle resume sequence - all sharing SDO for result readout without pin count increase.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output channels | 16 independent constant-current sinks for LED string control |
| Output current range | 3–40 mA per channel, adjustable via external R-EXT resistor |
| Current accuracy | ±1% between outputs at 5 mA, ±2% across units |
| Max output voltage | 20 V - enables driving up to 6 white LEDs (3.2 V each) in series |
| Serial clock frequency | 30 MHz - supports high-refresh-rate LED panels (e.g., >1 kHz frame rate) |
| Error detection | Detects open-circuit, short-to-GND, and short-to-VO on all 16 outputs |
| Supply voltage | 3.0–5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level-shifting |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 55 °C/W (QSOP-24) - requires minimal PCB copper area for 100 mA total load |
Pinout & Package
STP16DPP05PTR is housed in a 24-pin QSOP package (JEDEC MO-137AA) with 0.635 mm pitch, 8.66 mm × 6.00 mm body, and exposed pad recommended for thermal relief. The package meets ECOPACK® environmental standards and supports surface-mount reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all 16 output currents and internal logic |
| 2 SDI | Serial data input | Accepts 3.3 V–compatible CMOS-level data stream for shift register loading |
| 3 CLK | Clock input | Edge-triggered 30 MHz input synchronizing data shift and latch update |
| 4 LE/DM1 | Latch enable / Detect Mode 1 | Level-sensitive control: high = load shift register to latch; low = hold; dual-function for error mode entry |
| 5–20 OUT0–OUT15 | Constant-current sink outputs | Each delivers regulated current (3–40 mA) to cathode of connected LED; open-drain structure with 20 V breakdown |
| 21 OE/DM2 | Output enable / Detect Mode 2 | Active-low output control; also used with LE/DM1 to enter/exit error detection mode via defined logic sequence |
| 22 SDO | Serial data output | Shifts out error status bits (16-bit) or normal data during cascade operation |
| 23 R-EXT | Current-setting resistor input | Connects external resistor to set full-scale output current (e.g., 497 Ω → 40 mA) |
| 24 VDD | Positive supply | 3.0–5.5 V power rail for logic and output stages; decoupling required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated open/short LED detection | Per-channel fault identification without extra pins or external circuitry - reduces BOM and board space |
| Adjustable current via single resistor | R-EXT sets identical current across all 16 channels, enabling uniform LED brightness calibration |
| 3.3 V logic-compatible interface | VIH = 0.7×VDD and VIL = 0.3×VDD allow direct connection to 3.3 V MCUs without level shifters |
| High-speed 30 MHz serial interface | Enables <100 µs full 16-bit update - critical for flicker-free video-grade LED displays |
| 20 V output voltage rating | Supports longer LED strings (e.g., 6× white LEDs) while maintaining regulation margin at VLED + Vdrop |
| Thermally enhanced QSOP-24 | RthJA = 55 °C/W allows 1.2 W dissipation at ΔT = 66 °C - sufficient for 16×20 mA @ 1.5 V drop |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED sink driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB62706CFNG | 16-bit sink driver with 5–100 mA range; no integrated open/short detection; uses separate FAULT pin | Requires external comparator circuit for fault reporting; lacks DM1/DM2 dual-mode logic | Select when higher current (>40 mA) is needed and diagnostic integration is handled externally |
| IS31FL3728-QFLS4-TR | I²C interface instead of SPI; built-in 8×8 PWM engine; 28 mA max per channel; no R-EXT adjustment | Eliminates shift register timing constraints but adds protocol overhead; fixed current steps only | Select for systems prioritizing software-configurable dimming over hardware simplicity and deterministic timing |
Compared with TB62706CFNG, STP16DPP05PTR provides integrated diagnostics without added components; compared with IS31FL3728-QFLS4-TR, it offers deterministic 30 MHz SPI timing and analog current tuning - critical for real-time display control and thermal stability in industrial settings.

FAQ
What is the minimum R-EXT value supported for full 40 mA output?
The datasheet specifies R-EXT = 497 Ω for 40 mA output at VDD = 3.3–5 V and TA = 25 °C. At lower temperatures or higher VDD, current may exceed 40 mA; derating is required above 85 °C. Operation below 497 Ω risks exceeding absolute maximum output current (50 mA) and thermal limits in QSOP-24.
How does the error detection mode interact with normal PWM dimming?
Error detection must be performed in dedicated time windows outside active PWM periods. During detection, OE/DM2 is pulsed low for ≥1 µs while outputs are forced ON; this overrides PWM state. After detection, the device resumes prior latch data - so PWM duty cycle must be reloaded if interrupted. Detection duration is fixed and non-overlapping with data shifting.
Can STP16DPP05PTR drive LEDs with forward voltage >20 V?
No. The absolute maximum output voltage is 20 V (VO). Exceeding this risks permanent damage to the output transistors. For LED strings requiring >20 V, use a boost converter upstream or select a driver with higher breakdown voltage (e.g., STP16DPPS05, rated to 30 V).
Is the QSOP-24 package RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes. STP16DPP05PTR is manufactured in an ECOPACK®-compliant QSOP-24 package meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Full material declarations and substance thresholds are published in ST's official ECOPACK® documentation portal.
