4-bit Serial-In/Parallel-Out PWM Constant Current Driver
Product Description
The SCT2007 is a 4ꢀchannel currentꢀsink constant current driver incorporating patented PWM circuit. In
general, three channels for typical RGB LEDs cluster and one additional channel for another red
LED(2R1G1B) to enrich color saturation or lit up white LED(1R1G1B1W) to increase display or backlight
brightness. In applications, users can set the output currents OUT[0:3] from 5mA to 90mA by one
resistor for concurrent or four resistors for individual current setting. The serial data are shifted into shift
register by clock rising edge. Input data appear at the DO output clock cycles later to allow cascading of
multiple SCT2007s.
For the wire/line cost sensitive application, the SCT2007 provides two signal wires only (clock and data)
to transmit serial data for longꢀdistance cascaded operation. It also embeds clock and data buffers to
regenerate input signals at the same time improve transmission quality for longꢀdistance transmission.
The SCT2007 embeds PWM gray scale controller to provide 10ꢀbit gray scale and 12ꢀbit global
brightness for each output. Each output has 10ꢀbit gray scale (1024 grayscales), thus three outputs
represent 30ꢀbit color. The minimum gray scale PWM pulse width ~80ns provides faster response time
and more exquisite color presentation for RGB LED cluster application.
Since the high clock frequency can be reached up to 20MHz, the SCT2007 satisfies the system
requirements of high volume data transmission to control the RGB LED for mixꢀcolor display. The higher
clock frequency provides higher data transfer rate and faster refresh rate when many driver ICs connect
in cascade configuration. Furthermore, the SCT2007 also provides TTL interface (supply independent
input threshold), thus it can recognize the output signals issued from the controller system which is feed
with power supply input less than typical 5V.
The excellent current regulation capability allows SCT2007 easily drive each output current to a constant
stable output nearly without affected by power supply of LED, loading due to variant VF of LEDs and
operating temperature. The SCT007 is equipped with over temperature protection. The four channels IC
stops driving the output while sense its junction temperature exceeds the 160°C high limit and the output
will be reactivated while the junction temperature is below the 110°C low limit. In conclusion, the driver
system is protected from damage of overheated.
