A6277
8-Bit Serial-Input, Constant-Current Latched LED Driver

Pin-Out or Package

This device is in production, however, a currently available next generation replacement part is available.

Date of status change: May 3, 2010.

For existing customer transition, and for new customers or new applications, refer to the A6279.

Features

  • Up to 150 mA constant-current outputs
  • Undervoltage lockout
  • Low-power CMOS logic and latches
  • High data input rate
  • Similar to Toshiba TD62715FN
  • High/low output current function
  • Digital dimming control

Description

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.
