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 16−bit serial shift
register.
LATCH is the latch data input. On the rising edge of
LATCH, data is loaded from the 16−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 – LED16 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 50 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 16−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 50 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.
