HT16D595 -- 8-Bit Constant Current LED Driver

General Description

The HT16D595 is a high accuracy constant current driver which is specifically designed for LED display applications. The device provides 8-channel stable and constant current outputs for driving LEDs which may have different forward voltage characteristics, VF, due to process variations. Communication with the outside world is catered for by including a fully integrated serial interface function, which provides designers with a means of easy communication with external peripheral hardware. In this way, many devices can be cascaded together to drive larger LED displays. Furthermore, with this serial-to-serial or serial-to-parallel structure, the device is very suitable as a replacement for the 74HC595, in applications and related products which include an 8-bit serial input and serial or parallel output.
