Product details
Overview
STP16DPPS05TTR 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 data clocking, operates from 3.0–5.5 V supply, and features 3.3 V logic-compatible inputs. Its TSSOP24 exposed pad package enables thermal management in high-density LED signage.
For engineers reviewing the STP16DPPS05TTR datasheet, STP16DPPS05TTR pinout, STP16DPPS05TTR application, or STP16DPPS05TTR equivalent, key selection criteria include output current accuracy (±1% between bits), error detection timing (≥1 µs), OE/DM2-controlled 0–100% brightness dimming, and thermal resistance (37.5 °C/W) in the exposed-pad TSSOP24 package.
Technical Context
The STP16DPPS05TTR integrates a 16-bit serial-in/parallel-out shift register feeding a 16-bit D-type storage latch, driving sixteen regulated current sinks. Output current is set by an external resistor connected to R-EXT (Pin 23), enabling precise per-channel LED intensity control across 3–40 mA.
Error detection operates through dedicated logic on OE/DM2 and LE/DM1 pins-no extra pins required-identifying three fault conditions: short-to-GND, short-to-VO, and open-circuit, with results shifted out via SDO. Auto power-saving reduces IDD to 170 µA when latches are inactive, resuming full operation within one clock cycle upon new data.

Pinout & Package
TSSOP24 exposed pad package (JEDEC MO-153AC), 7.8 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.05 mm body height, with thermally enhanced copper-exposed pad (E-Pad) requiring direct PCB solder connection to GND or isolated thermal land.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all 16 output currents and internal logic; must connect to low-impedance PCB ground plane |
| 2 SDI | Serial data input | CMOS-compatible input accepting 3.3 V logic; cascades to next device's SDI or MCU GPIO |

| 22 SDO | Serial data output | Shifts out error status bits (16-bit) or daisy-chained data; CMOS-compatible output |
| 23 R-EXT | Current programming input | Connects external precision resistor to set all 16 output currents identically (e.g., 497 Ω = 40 mA) |
| 24 VDD | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V input; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm of pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated open/short LED detection | Detects faults on all 16 outputs using existing pins-no added BOM cost or PCB area |
| Auto power-saving mode | Reduces supply current from 7.5 mA to 170 µA during static display periods, eliminating external sleep control logic |
| 3.3 V logic compatibility | Accepts 3.3 V MCU signals directly-no level shifters required for STM32, ESP32, or similar controllers |
| High thermal efficiency package | TSSOP24 with exposed pad lowers junction temperature by ~25 °C vs standard TSSOP24 at 40 mA/channel |
| Adjustable current with single resistor | One external resistor sets identical current across all 16 channels-simplifies calibration and reduces component count |
| 20 V output compliance | Supports longer LED strings (e.g., 6× white LEDs) without external boost circuitry, reducing system cost |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED sink driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB62786AFG | No integrated error detection; requires external sense resistors and comparator circuit for fault reporting | Suitable for cost-sensitive designs where fault monitoring is optional or handled at system level | Select if BOM simplicity outweighs diagnostic capability and thermal performance is less critical |
| IS31FL3731 | I²C interface instead of SPI-like serial chain; built-in PWM registers but no open/short detection | Better for small-format displays (<64 LEDs) with microcontroller I²C availability and lower refresh rate needs | Choose for designs prioritizing software-configurable dimming over hardware-level fault resilience |
Compared with TB62786AFG and IS31FL3731, the STP16DPPS05TTR uniquely combines pin-efficient error detection, 30 MHz throughput, and 37.5 °C/W thermal resistance in a single TSSOP24 exposed pad package-making it optimal for high-reliability, high-density LED signage where diagnostics and thermal headroom are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the minimum R-EXT resistor value for 40 mA output current?
The datasheet specifies 497 Ω as the nominal R-EXT value for 40 mA output current at 25 °C (Table 11). Using a precision 1% metal-film resistor ensures ±1% current accuracy. Lower values risk exceeding absolute maximum output current (50 mA) and may degrade thermal stability above 125 °C ambient.
How does the error detection mode interact with normal display operation?
Error detection runs in a dedicated 5-clock-cycle sequence followed by ≥1 µs measurement window-no display data is lost. Detection results shift out via SDO while outputs remain latched; the host MCU reads status without blanking the display. Resuming normal mode requires a separate 5-cycle exit sequence (Table 14).
Can the exposed pad be left floating or must it connect to GND?
The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB copper land-either electrically connected to GND or thermally isolated-but never left floating. Floating pads cause unpredictable thermal resistance and potential ESD vulnerability. ST's thermal data (37.5 °C/W) assumes full solder coverage per Figure 28 and Table 19.
Does auto power-saving affect timing parameters like tPLH or tON?
No-auto power-saving only reduces quiescent current (IDD drops from 7.5 mA to 170 µA); propagation delays (tPLH1–tPLH3), rise/fall times (tON/tOFF), and setup/hold times remain unchanged per Table 8. The first output activated after wake-up exhibits standard tON behavior (Figure 23).
