CAT4008 8-Channel Constant Current LED Driver Description The CAT4008 is an 8 channel constant current driver for LED billboard and other general display applications. LED channel currents are programmed together via an external RSET resistor. Low output voltage operation on the LED channels as low as 0.4 V (for 2 to 100 mA LED current) allows for more power efficient designs. A high-speed 4-wire serial interface of up to 25 MHz clock frequency controls each individual channel using a shift register and latch configuration. A serial output data pin (SOUT) allows multiple devices to be cascaded and programmed via one serial interface. The device also includes a blanking control pin (BLANK) that can be used to disable all channels independently of the interface. Thermal shutdown protection is incorporated in the device to disable the LED outputs if the die temperature exceeds a set limit. The device is available in the 16-lead SOIC (narrow and wide), and TSSOP packages.

PIN DESCRIPTION Name Function GND Ground SIN Serial data input pin CLK Serial clock input pin LATCH LED1-LED8 Latch serial data to output registers LED channel 1 to 8 cathode terminals BLANK Enable / disable all channels SOUT Serial data output pin. RSET LED current set pin VDD Positive supply Voltage Pin Function GND is the ground reference pin for the device. This pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. SIN is the serial data input. Data is loaded into the internal register on each rising edge of CLK. CLK is the serial clock input. On each rising CLK edge, data is transferred from SIN to the internal 8-bit serial shift register. LATCH is the latch data input. On the rising edge of LATCH, data is loaded from the 8-bit serial shift register into the output register latch. On the falling edge, this data is latched in the output register and isolated from the state of the serial shift register. LED1 - LED8 are the LED current sink channels. These pins are connected to the LED cathodes. The current sinks drive the LEDs with a current equal to about 51 times RSET pin current. For the LED sink to operate correctly, the voltage on the LED pin must be above 0.4 V. BLANK is the LED channel enable and disable input pin. When low, LEDs are enabled according to the output latch register content. When high, all LEDs are off, while preserving the data in the output latch register. SOUT is the serial data output of the 8-bit serial shift register. This pin is used to cascade several devices on the serial bus. The SOUT pin is then connected to the SIN input of the next device on the serial bus to cascade. RSET is the LED current setting pin. A resistor is connected between this pin and ground. Each LED channel current is set to about 51 times the current pulled out of the pin. The RSET pin voltage is regulated to 1.2 V. VDD is the positive supply pin voltage for the entire device. A small 1 mF ceramic is recommended close to pin. Current Setting Resistor Table 6 lists standard resistor values for various LED current settings. Table 6.

CAT4008 Functional Block Diagram Basic Operation The CAT4008 uses 8 tightly matched current sinks to accurately regulate the LED current in each channel. The external resistor, RSET, is used to set the LED channel current to about 51 times the current in RSET. LED current ^ 51 Pull-up and pull-down resistors are internally provided to set the state of the BLANK and LATCH pins to the off-state when not externally driven. Serial Interface 1.2 R SET A high-speed serial 4-wire interface is provided to program the state of each LED on or off. The interface contains an 8-bit serial to parallel shift register (S1-S8) and an 8-bit latch (L1-L8). Programming the serial to parallel register is accomplished via SIN and CLK input pins. On each rising edge of the CLK signal, the data from SIN is moved through the shift register serially. Data is also moved out of SOUT which can be connected to a next device if programming more than one device on the same interface. On the rising edge of LATCH, the data contents of the serial to parallel shift register is reflected in the latches. On the falling edge of LATCH, the state of the serial to parallel register at that particular time is saved in the latches and does not change irrespective of the contents of the serial to parallel register. BLANK is used to disable all LEDs (turn off) simultaneously while maintaining the same data in the latch register. When low, the LED outputs reflect the data in the latches. When high, all outputs are high impedance (zero current). Tight current regulation for all channels is possible over a wide range of input and LED voltages due to independent current sensing circuitry on each channel. The LED channels have a maximum dropout of 0.4 V for most current and supply voltage conditions. This helps improve the heat dissipation and efficiency of the LED driver. Upon power-up, an under-voltage lockout circuit clears all latches and shift registers and sets all outputs to off. Once the under-voltage lockout threshold has been reached the device can be programmed. The driver delays the activation of each consecutive LED output channel by 17 ns (typical). Relative to LED1, LED2 is delayed by 17 ns, LED3 by 34 ns and LED8 by 120 ns typical. The delay is introduced when LATCH is activated. The delay minimizes the inrush current on the LED supply by staggering the turn on and off current spikes over a period of time and therefore allowing usage of smaller bypass capacitors. http://onsemi.com 9 CAT4008 PACKAGE DIMENSIONS SOIC-16, 150 mils CASE 751BG-01 ISSUE O SYMBOL E1 E MIN NOM MAX A 1.35 1.75 A1 0.10 0.25 b 0.33 0.51 c 0.19 D 9.80 9.90 10.00 0.25 E 5.80 6.00 6.20 E1 3.80 3.90 4.00 1.27 BSC e h 0.25 0.50 L 0.40 1.27 0 8 PIN#1 IDENTIFICATION TOP VIEW D h q A e b A1 c L END VIEW SIDE VIEW Notes: (1) All dimensions are in millimeters.
