Description
The A6285 is designed for LED display applications. This
BiCMOS device includes an On/Off shift register, a Dot
Correction (DC) shift register, accompanying data latches, and
16 MOS constant-current sink drivers with active pull-ups that
can be enabled or disabled as required by the application.
The CMOS shift registers and latches allow direct interfacing
with microprocessor-based systems. With a 3.3 or 5 V logic
supply, typical serial data input rates can reach up to 30 MHz.
The LED drive current level can be set by a single external
resistor, selected by the application designer. A CMOS serial
data output permits cascading of multiple devices in applications
requiring additional drive lines.
Individual LED light intensity can be adjusted to correct for light
intensity variations by using the Dot Correction feature.
Open LED connections can be detected, and then signaled back
to the host microprocessor through the serial data output (SDO
pin). The FAULT output flags an LED open circuit (LOD)
condition or a thermal shutdown (TSD) condition. A staggering
delay on the load outputs during ON/OFF transitions helps to
reduce ground bounce.
