BD8388FV-M
Description of Function - continued
(3) Enable Signal
By applying voltage VTH or more to the OEN_B pin, D7 to D0 become open forcibly.
All output terminals become PWM operation by having the PWM signal to the OEN_B pin at the same time.

(4) SEROUT
A cascade connection can be made (connecting at least 2 or more IC’s in serial). Serial signal input from SERIN is
transferred into the receiver IC by the falling edge of the CLK signal. Since this functionality gives enough margins
for the setup time prior to the rising edge of the CLK signal on the receiver IC (using the exact same CLK signal of
the sender IC), the application reliability can be improved as cascade connection functionality.

2. Cascade Connection
As an application, BD8388FV-M can turn on 9 or more LED lights. By making a cascade connection between 2 ICs, the
LED application of up to 16 lights can be constructed. In this case, connect the SEROUT pin of the sender IC and the
SERIN pin of the receiver IC. When send 16bit signal to the sender IC, the serial data is sent to the receiver IC from the
SEROUT pin of the sender IC. In addition, it is possible to construct 3 or more applications.
