Product details
Overview
STP16DPPS05MTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver with integrated open/short error detection and auto power-saving, designed for LED panel displays. It delivers 3–40 mA per channel via external R-EXT resistor, supports 30 MHz serial clocking, and operates from 3.0–5.5 V supply. Its TSSOP-24 exposed pad package enables thermal management in high-density LED signage and automotive interior lighting.
For engineers reviewing the STP16DPPS05MTR datasheet, STP16DPPS05MTR pinout, STP16DPPS05MTR application, or STP16DPPS05MTR equivalent, key selection criteria include output current accuracy (±1% between bits), dual-mode pin functionality (LE/DM1 and OE/DM2 for latch/detection), error detection timing (≥1 µs per channel), and thermal resistance (37.5 °C/W with exposed pad soldered).
Technical Context
The STP16DPPS05MTR integrates a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register feeding a 16-bit D-type storage register, driving sixteen regulated current sinks. Output current is set by an external resistor connected to R-EXT (Pin 23), enabling precise LED brightness control across all channels.
Error detection operates in three phases-entry, analysis, and exit-using dedicated logic sequences on LE/DM1 and OE/DM2 pins without additional I/O. Detection identifies open loads, short-to-GND, and short-to-VO conditions by monitoring output voltage and current thresholds, with results shifted out via SDO (Pin 22) in standard serial format.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output channels | 16 independent constant-current sink outputs (OUT0–OUT15) |
| Output current range | 3–40 mA per channel, adjustable via external R-EXT resistor (497 Ω–23.7 kΩ) |
| Current accuracy | ±1% between bits at 5–40 mA, ±2% between ICs |
| Max clock frequency | 30 MHz - enables high-speed LED refresh in video-rate signage |
| Supply voltage | 3.0–5.5 V - compatible with 3.3 V MCUs and legacy 5 V systems |
| Error detection time | >1 µs per channel - allows full 16-channel fault scan within 16.1 µs |
| Thermal resistance | 37.5 °C/W (junction-to-ambient, TSSOP-24 exposed pad, PCB-soldered) |
Pinout & Package
STP16DPPS05MTR is packaged in TSSOP-24 with exposed thermal pad (JEDEC MO-153 variant), requiring direct soldering of the pad to PCB copper for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all output currents and internal logic |
| 2 SDI | Serial data input | Accepts 3.3 V–compatible CMOS-level data for shift register loading |
| 3 CLK | Clock input | Edge-triggered 30 MHz max clock synchronizing shift register operation |
| 4 LE/DM1 | Latch enable / detect mode 1 | Level-sensitive control: high = latch new data; low = hold; dual-function entry trigger for error detection |
| 5–20 OUT0–OUT15 | Constant-current sink outputs | Each drives one LED cathode; 20 V max output voltage supports 6+ white LEDs in series |
| 21 OE/DM2 | Output enable / detect mode 2 | Active-low output control; dual-function entry/exit trigger for error detection sequence |
| 22 SDO | Serial data output | Shifts out latched data or error status bits (MSB first, same format as SDI) |
| 23 R-EXT | Current-setting resistor terminal | Connects external resistor to set all 16 output currents simultaneously with <1% matching |
| 24 VDD | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V input powering logic and output stages; decoupling required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto power-saving | Reduces supply current from 7.5 mA (ON) to 170 µA (shutdown) when no active latch data detected |
| Integrated error detection | Detects open, short-to-GND, and short-to-VO faults on all 16 outputs using existing pins-no extra I/O or external circuitry |
| 3.3 V MCU interface | Full 3.3 V logic compatibility: VIH = 0.7×VDD, VIL = 0.3×VDD, eliminating level-shifting in modern microcontroller designs |
| High thermal efficiency | TSSOP-24 exposed pad reduces RthJA to 37.5 °C/W-2.5× better than standard TSSOP-enabling 100% channel duty cycle at 40 mA |
| Adjustable brightness | PWM dimming via OE/DM2 pin enables 0–100% LED intensity control without altering current-setting resistor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED sink driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC59283RTQR | No integrated error detection; requires external sensing circuitry; 16-bit, 3–120 mA range; 25 MHz max clock | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-fault-critical LED arrays where diagnostic capability is not required | Select when higher current headroom (120 mA) is needed and thermal budget allows SOIC-24 (RthJA = 52 °C/W) |
| MAX6967AUG+T | Includes I²C interface and built-in PWM registers; 16-bit, 5–45 mA; no auto power-saving; 10 MHz max clock | Better suited for microcontroller-constrained systems needing register-based configuration over SPI | Choose when I²C system integration and per-channel PWM control outweigh need for 30 MHz throughput and autonomous power management |
Compared with TLC59283RTQR and MAX6967AUG+T, the STP16DPPS05MTR uniquely combines integrated open/short detection, auto power-saving, and 30 MHz serial speed in a thermally optimized TSSOP-24 exposed pad package-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-density LED systems where fault visibility and energy efficiency are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the minimum R-EXT resistor value for 40 mA output current?
The datasheet specifies 497 Ω as the R-EXT value required to achieve 40 mA output current per channel at VDD = 3.3–5.0 V and TA = 25 °C. Using a lower resistance risks exceeding absolute maximum output current (50 mA) and may degrade current accuracy or thermal performance. The device supports R-EXT down to 331 Ω for 60 mA, but this exceeds recommended operating conditions and is not guaranteed for long-term reliability.
How does the auto power-saving feature activate and deactivate?
Auto power-saving activates automatically when no new data is latched into the storage register for >100 µs, reducing IDD from ~7.5 mA to 170 µA. It deactivates on the first rising edge of LE/DM1 after new data is shifted in, restoring full output drive within <1 µs. No external control signal is needed-the feature is fully autonomous and transparent to the host MCU.
Can STP16DPPS05MTR drive LEDs in common-anode configurations?
No-it is a sink-only driver with 16 N-channel current sources tied to OUT0–OUT15. It requires LEDs connected anode-to-VLED (supply) and cathode-to-OUTn. For common-anode designs, a separate high-side switch or P-channel driver must be used upstream; STP16DPPS05MTR cannot source current or operate as a high-side driver.
Is the exposed thermal pad on STP16DPPS05MTR electrically isolated?
No-the exposed pad is internally connected to GND (Pin 1). It must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to the system ground plane to achieve the specified 37.5 °C/W thermal resistance. Leaving it floating or connecting it to a different potential violates the absolute maximum ratings and risks thermal runaway or latch-up.
