16-Channel Constant Current LED Driver

 With Error Detection

General Description

       DM13H is a 16-channel constant-current sink driver specifically designed for LED display applications. The device incorporates shift registers, data latches, and constant current circuitry on the silicon CMOS chip. The maximum output current of each channel is set by a single external resistor. Overall output currents can be adjusted by a 7-bit serial shift-in data. Its built-in LED open/short detection, output channels short to GND detection help users to detect LED failures, outputs short. The thermal alarm and shutdown functions provide the over-temperature protection.
