Allegro MicroSystems Inc. Offers New LED Display Driver
The A6277 is specifically designed for LED display applications. Each BiCMOS device includes an 8-bit CMOS shift register, accompanying data latches, and eight NPN constant-current sink drivers. Two package styles and two operating temperature ranges are available.
The CMOS shift register and latches allow direct interfacing with microprocessor-based systems. With a 5 V logic supply, typical serial data-input rates are up to 20 MHz. The LED drive current is determined by the user selection of a single resistor. A CMOS serial data output permits cascade connections in applications requiring additional drive lines. For inter-digit blanking, all output drivers can be disabled with an ENABLE input high. In addition, a HIGH/LOW function enables full selected current with the application of a logic low, or 50% selected current with the application of a logic high.
Two package styles are provided, a through-hole DIP (suffix A), and a surface-mount SOIC (LW). The copper leadframe and low logic-power dissipation allow the DIP to sink 122 mA through all outputs continuously over the operating temperature range (1.0 V drop, 85°C). Both packages are lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.
