The TB62777FNG/FG is comprised of constant-current drivers
designed for LEDs and LED panel displays.
The regulated current sources are designed to provide a
constant current, which is adjustable through one external
resistor.
The TB62777FNG/FG incorporates eight channels of shift
registers, latches, AND gates and constant-current outputs.
Fabricated using the Bi-CMOS process, the TB62777FNG/FG is
capable of high-speed data transfers.
The TB62777FNG/FG is RoHS.

Timing Diagram
Note 1: Latches are level-sensitive, not edge-trig gered.
Note 2: The TB62777FNG can be used at 3.3 V or 5.0 V. However , the VDD supply voltage must be equal to the input
voltage.
Note 3: Serial data is shifted out of SERIAL-OUT on the falling edge of CLOCK.
Marks: The latches hold data while the LATCH terminal is held Low. When the LATCH terminal is High, the
latches do not hold data and pass it transparently. When the ENABLE terminal is Low, OUT0 to OUT7
toggle between ON and OFF according to the data. When t he ENABLE terminal is High, OUT0 to
OUT7 are forced OFF.

IC Usage Considerations
Notes on handling of ICs
(1) The absolute maximum ratings of a semiconductor device are a set of ratings that must not be
exceeded, even for a moment. Do not exceed any of these ratings.
Exceeding the rating(s) may cause breakdown, damage or deterioration of the device, and may result
in injury by explosion or combustion.
(2) Use an appropriate power supply fuse to ensure that a large current does not continuously flow in the
event of over current and/or IC failure. The IC will fully break down when used under conditions that
exceed its absolute maximum ratings, when the wiring is routed improperly or when an abnormal
pulse noise occurs from the wiring or load, causing a large current to continuously flow. Such a
breakdown can lead to smoke or ignition. To minimize the effects of a large current flow in the event of
breakdown, fuse capacity, fusing time, insertion circuit location, and other such suitable settings are
required.
(3) If your design includes an inductive load such as a motor coil, incorporate a protection circuit into the
design to prevent device malfunction or breakdown caused by the current resulting from the inrush
current at power ON or the negative current resulting from the back electromotive force at power OFF.
IC breakdown may cause injury, smoke or ignition.
For ICs with built-in protection functions, use a stable power supply with. An unstable power supply
may cause the protection function to not operate, causing IC breakdown. IC breakdown may cause
injury, smoke or ignition.
(4) Do not insert devices incorrectly or in the wrong orientation. Make sure that the positive and negative
terminals of power supplies are connected properly. Otherwise, the current or power consumption may
exceed the absolute maximum rating, and exceeding the rating(s) may cause breakdown, damage or
deterioration of the device, which may result in injury by explosion or combustion. In addition, do not
use any device that has had current applied to it while inserted incorrectly or in the wrong orientation
even once.
2010-03-08

TB62777FNG/FG
(5) Carefully select power amp, regulator, or other external components (such as inputs and negative
feedback capacitors) and load components (such as speakers).
If there is a large amount of leakage current such as input or negative feedback capacitors, the IC
output DC voltage will increase. If this output voltage is connected to a speaker with low input
withstand voltage, overcurrent or IC failure can cause smoke or ignition. (The over current can cause
smoke or ignition from the IC itself.) In particular, please pay attention when using a Bridge Tied Load
(BTL) connection type IC that inputs output DC voltage to a speaker directly.
Points to remember on handling of ICs
(1) Heat Dissipation Design
In using an IC with large current flow such as a power amp, regulator or driver, please design the
device so that heat is appropriately dissipated, not to exceed the specified junction temperature (Tj) at
any time or under any condition. These ICs generate heat even during normal use. An inadequate IC
heat dissipation design can lead to decrease in IC life, deterioration of IC characteristics or IC
breakdown. In addition, please design the device taking into consideration the effect of IC heat
dissipation on peripheral components..
(2) Back-EMF
When a motor rotates in the reverse direction, stops, or slows down abruptly, a current flow back to the
motor’s power supply due to the effect of back-EMF. If the current sink capability of the power supply
is small, the device’s motor power supply and output pins might be exposed to conditions beyond
maximum ratings. To avoid this problem, take the effect of back-EMF into consideration in your
system design.
