Product details
Overview
STP16DPPS05PTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver in QSOP-24 package, designed for LED panel displays requiring precise current regulation, open/short fault detection, and auto power-saving. It delivers 3–40 mA per channel with ±1% inter-channel accuracy at 5 mA, supports 30 MHz serial clocking, and interfaces directly with 3.3 V MCUs.
For engineers reviewing the STP16DPPS05PTR datasheet, STP16DPPS05PTR pinout, STP16DPPS05PTR application, or STP16DPPS05PTR equivalent, key selection criteria include output error detection logic timing, R-EXT-based current programming, OE/DM2 dual-function behavior, and thermal performance in QSOP-24 (RthJA = 55 °C/W).
Technical Context
The device integrates a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register feeding a 16-bit D-type storage latch, driving sixteen matched current sources. Output current is set by external R-EXT (e.g., 497 Ω → 40 mA), with dropout voltage as low as 36 mV at 3 mA (3.3 V).
Error detection operates via dedicated logic on OE/DM2 and LE/DM1 pins-no extra pins required-and identifies three fault conditions: short-to-GND, short-to-VO, or open line. Detection results are shifted out via SDO using the same serial interface used for data input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output channels | 16 independent constant-current sinks, each programmable 3–40 mA |
| Current accuracy | ±1% between outputs at 5 mA (VO = 0.3 V, REXT = 4 kΩ) |
| Max clock frequency | 30 MHz-enables high-speed LED refresh in cascaded display systems |
| Output voltage range | Up to 20 V-supports ≥6 white LEDs in series at typical forward voltage |
| Supply voltage | 3.0–5.5 V-fully compatible with 3.3 V MCU I/O without level shifting |
| Thermal resistance | RthJA = 55 °C/W in QSOP-24-enables 7.5 mA supply current at full 16-channel ON load without forced cooling |
| Fault detection | Detects open, short-to-GND, and short-to-VO per channel; results returned via SDO |
Pinout & Package
STP16DPPS05PTR uses QSOP-24 package (8.66 mm × 6.00 mm × 1.62 mm), featuring gull-wing leads and internal thermal pad connected to GND for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Common return for all current sinks and logic; must be low-impedance path to PCB ground plane |
| 2 SDI | Serial data input | CMOS-compatible input accepting 3.3 V logic; feeds shift register LSB-first |
| 3 CLK | Clock input | Edge-triggered (rising edge); max 30 MHz; twCLK ≥ 10 ns |
| 4 LE/DM1 | Latch enable / detect mode 1 | Level-sensitive; high enables latch update; dual-function control for entering error detection mode |
| 5–20 OUT0–OUT15 | Constant-current sink outputs | Each drives LED cathode; 20 V max output voltage; current set by R-EXT |
| 21 OE/DM2 | Output enable / detect mode 2 | Active-low output control; also serves as secondary trigger for error detection sequence |
| 22 SDO | Serial data output | Shifts out latched data or error status bits MSB-first; CMOS-compatible output |
| 23 R-EXT | Current programming input | Connects external resistor (e.g., 497 Ω → 40 mA); sets all 16 channels identically |
| 24 VDD | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V input; decoupling capacitor (≥100 nF) required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto power-saving | Reduces IDD from 7.5 mA to 170 µA when no new data is latched-no MCU intervention required |
| Integrated error detection | Identifies open, short-to-GND, and short-to-VO per channel using existing OE/DM2 and LE/DM1 pins-zero pin overhead |
| 3.3 V MCU compatibility | Full 3.3 V logic operation (VIH = 0.7×VDD, VIL = 0.3×VDD) eliminates level-shifter need in embedded LED controllers |
| High-output voltage capability | 20 V output swing allows driving 6+ white LEDs (3.2 V each) in series per channel |
| Thermal efficiency | QSOP-24 package achieves RthJA = 55 °C/W-2.5× better than standard SO-24 under identical PCB layout |

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 3–120 mA range; no integrated open/short detection; requires external fault monitoring circuitry | Suitable for cost-sensitive lighting where fault detection is handled at system level | Choose if higher current headroom (120 mA) is needed and board space permits added detection components |
| MAX7219CWG+ | 8-bit driver with SPI interface; includes on-chip BCD decode, scan limit, and intensity control; no R-EXT current setting | Targeted at 7-segment/matrix displays-not optimized for high-current LED panels | Prefer for alphanumeric displays with integrated decoding; avoid for high-brightness, high-channel-count LED arrays |
Compared with TLC59283RTJR and MAX7219CWG+, STP16DPPS05PTR uniquely combines per-channel fault detection, QSOP-24 thermal efficiency, and R-EXT programmability-making it optimal for industrial LED panels where reliability, thermal margin, and calibration flexibility are prioritized over raw current headroom or display-specific features.

FAQ
What is the minimum R-EXT value supported, and what output current does it produce?
The minimum recommended R-EXT is 331 Ω, which sets output current to 60 mA per channel (per Table 11). However, absolute maximum output current is rated at 50 mA per channel (Table 4), so operation above 50 mA violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. For reliable operation, R-EXT ≥ 497 Ω (40 mA) is advised.
How does the auto power-saving mode interact with OE/DM2 and LE/DM1 timing?
Auto power-saving activates when no new data is latched for >100 µs while OE/DM2 is high (outputs disabled). It exits automatically on the first rising edge of LE/DM1 that loads valid data-no OE/DM2 transition required. The device draws only 170 µA in shutdown, and TON of the first enabled output reflects full startup delay (Figure 23).
Can STP16DPPS05PTR drive LEDs with forward voltages exceeding 15 V?
Yes-the device guarantees 20 V output voltage capability (Table 4), allowing up to six 3.2 V white LEDs (19.2 V total) plus margin for trace drop. At 20 V output, dropout remains within spec (≤726 mV at 40 mA, Table 12), ensuring regulation integrity even at high VF stacks.
Is the QSOP-24 package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes-STP16DPPS05PTR is manufactured in ECOPACK®-compliant QSOP-24 packaging, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. Lead-free soldering profile follows JEDEC J-STD-020D, with peak reflow temperature ≤260 °C for 10 seconds.
