Product details
Overview
STP16DPS05PTR from STMicroelectronics is a 16-bit constant-current LED sink driver in QSOP-24 package, designed for LED panel displays with serial-in/parallel-out shift register architecture, 20–100 mA per channel output current, open/short LED error detection, and 30 MHz clock support. It operates from 3–5.5 V supply and delivers up to 20 V output driving capability for multi-LED series strings.
For engineers reviewing the STP16DPS05PTR datasheet, STP16DPS05PTR pinout, STP16DPS05PTR application, or STP16DPS05PTR equivalent, key selection criteria include output current adjustability via REXT, dual-mode functionality (normal drive + error detection), thermal performance of QSOP-24, and compatibility with 3.3 V microcontrollers in high-density LED signage systems.
Technical Context
The STP16DPS05PTR integrates a 16-bit serial-in, parallel-out shift register feeding a 16-bit D-type storage latch, followed by sixteen matched regulated current sinks. Its detection mode uses dedicated logic sequencing on LE/DM1 and OE/DM2 pins-no additional pins required-to identify open, short-to-GND, or short-to-VO faults across all 16 outputs.
Current regulation is set externally via REXT, enabling precise 5–100 mA per channel with ±1.5% typical inter-channel accuracy at 25 °C. Auto power-saving reduces quiescent current to 163 µA when latches remain static for >16 clock cycles, resuming full operation within 1.053 µs after new data arrival.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output channels | 16 independent constant-current sink outputs for LED anode-common configurations |
| Output current range | 20–100 mA per channel, adjustable via external REXT resistor (e.g., 970 Ω → 20 mA; 190 Ω → 100 mA) |
| Max output voltage | 20 V, enabling up to 6 white LEDs (3.2 V each) in series per channel |
| Clock frequency | 30 MHz max, supporting high-speed LED refresh in video-rate signage and dynamic displays |
| Supply voltage | 3.0–5.5 V, compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller I/O domains |
| Error detection | Detects open-circuit, short-to-GND, and short-to-VO conditions on all 16 outputs using internal sensing without extra pins |
| Package | QSOP-24 (4.01 mm × 8.76 mm × 1.73 mm), RoHS-compliant, ECOPACK®2 rated |
Pinout & Package
STP16DPS05PTR is housed in a 24-pin QSOP package with gull-wing leads and exposed thermal pad (electrically isolated or grounded per layout). The package offers 55 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 GND | Ground reference | Primary return path for all output currents and internal logic; must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 SDI | Serial data input | Accepts 3.3 V–compatible CMOS-level data stream for cascaded daisy-chain configuration |
| 3 CLK | Master clock input | Edge-triggered 30 MHz clock synchronizing shift register loading and data propagation |
| 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 | 16 individually controlled current sources; each drives LED cathodes with programmable current |
| 21 OE/DM2 | Output enable / detect mode 2 | Active-low output control; also serves as secondary trigger for entering/exiting detection mode |
| 22 SDO | Serial data output | Shifts out 16-bit error status or latched data; enables daisy-chaining and fault reporting to MCU |
| 23 R-EXT | Current setting reference | Connects external resistor to set all 16 output currents simultaneously with ±1.5% matching |
| 24 VDD | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V supply powering logic and current sinks; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable constant current | 20–100 mA per channel via single REXT, eliminating per-channel trimming and reducing BOM count |
| Integrated open/short detection | Three-condition fault detection (open, short-to-GND, short-to-VO) reported serially without added pins or external circuitry |
| Auto power-saving mode | Reduces IDD from 6 mA to 163 µA after 16 idle clock cycles, extending system-level energy efficiency in static display segments |
| 3.3 V microcontroller interface | VIH = 0.7×VDD and VIL = 0.3×VDD ensure robust logic-level compatibility with modern low-voltage MCUs |
| High-speed 30 MHz clock | Enables full 16-bit update in <533 ns, supporting >1.8 kHz frame rates for flicker-free LED video walls |

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 constant-current sink with 3–5.5 V supply, but no built-in open/short detection; requires external sense resistors and ADC for fault monitoring | Lacks integrated diagnostics; suitable only where fault reporting is handled at system level, not per-driver | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for autonomous fault detection and board space permits external sensing circuitry |
| IS31FL3731-QFLS4-TR | I²C interface, 28×28 matrix support, integrated PWM dimming, but fixed 40 mA per channel and no REXT adjustment | Designed for small-format character/segment displays; lacks 20 V output headroom and serial cascade capability | Prefer for compact I²C-based UIs with uniform LED types; avoid for high-voltage or high-current signage applications |
Compared with TLC59283RTJR and IS31FL3731-QFLS4-TR, the STP16DPS05PTR uniquely combines programmable current (20–100 mA), 20 V output swing, integrated diagnostics, and 30 MHz serial throughput-making it optimal for scalable, fault-aware LED display systems where pin efficiency and thermal performance are critical.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended REXT value for STP16DPS05PTR, and what output current does it produce?
The minimum recommended REXT is 190 Ω, which sets the output current to 96–104 mA per channel at 25 °C (typical 100 mA). This value is validated per Table 7 in the datasheet and ensures stable regulation without exceeding absolute maximum ratings. Using lower resistance risks exceeding the 100 mA per-channel limit and may degrade current matching accuracy or thermal margin.
How does the STP16DPS05PTR enter and exit detection mode, and what sequence must be followed?
Entry requires five specific CLK cycles with OE/DM2 and LE/DM1 states: H→L→H→H→H and L→L→L→H→L respectively. Exit requires another five-cycle sequence: H→L→H→H→H for OE/DM2 and L→L→L→L→L for LE/DM1. Consecutive identical sequences are invalid; detection mode must always be followed by resume mode to restore normal operation.
Can STP16DPS05PTR drive LEDs with forward voltages exceeding 5 V, and what limits this capability?
Yes-the device supports up to 20 V output voltage swing, allowing series chains of up to six standard white LEDs (3.2 V each) or eight red LEDs (2.2 V each). This capability is limited only by the VO absolute maximum rating (20 V) and the dropout voltage across the internal current source, which remains below 0.3 V at 20 mA and rises to ~1.3 V at 100 mA per channel.
Does STP16DPS05PTR support daisy-chaining, and how is data integrity maintained across multiple devices?
Yes-STP16DPS05PTR supports unlimited daisy-chaining via SDI-to-SDO connections. Data integrity is preserved by synchronous 30 MHz clocking, tight timing margins (e.g., tPLH ≤ 44 ns at 3.3 V), and guaranteed setup/hold times (10 ns/5 ns). The truth table in Figure 7 confirms bit-accurate shifting across cascaded devices without skew accumulation.
