STLED524

STLED524 Intelligent matrix LED display driver Datasheet - preliminary data Description The STLED524 is a 5x24 dot matrix LED display driver. It can drive each dot with a current up to 20 mA. Rows of the matrix are multiplexed. Each LED in a row is driven by a separate low-side current mirror. Current regulators are supplied by an integrated boost DC-DC converter. Its output voltage can be adjusted by the internal register to optimize efficiency according to the type of LEDs CSP 56 bumps 0.4 mm pitch 3.4x3.0 mm (their forward voltage). This reduces current mirror power dissipation and improves overall efficiency. The STLED524 also includes an Features internal LDO regulator, which can provide a supply voltage for an additional circuitry. Operating input voltage range from 2.7 V to Maximum current, provided by each current 5.5 V mirror, is adjusted by R resistor. Current of SET 5x24 LED matrix driver each LED (dot) can be dimmed in 255 steps due Adjustable luminance separately for each LED to settings of internal registers. thanks to internal registers in 255 steps The STLED524 features PWM dimming in 255 Internal registers store 2 patterns steps. Automatic slope function is also supported. Cycle time and slope time can be adjusted for 4-way scroll function with the possibility to lock each LED (dot) separately. column data PWM dimming in 255 steps Two patterns can be stored in internal registers. The automatic scrolling of the display content is Adjustable blanking time possible in 4 ways. Automatic slope function Cycle time and slope time adjustable for each Table 1.
