Description
The STLED316S is a compact LED controller and
driver that interface microprocessors to LED
displays through a serial 3-wire interface. It drives
LED connected in common anode configuration.
The STLED316S drives up to 48 discrete LEDs in
8 segment/6 digit configuration while functioning
from a supply voltage of 5.0V. Additionally it can
be used to drive 8 discrete LEDs which form a
part of LED digit. The individual LEDs are wired
as segments of a digit and brightness of these
individual LEDs can be controlled digitally. The
maximum segment current for the display digits is
set through a single external resistor. Individual
digits may be addressed and updated without re-
writing the entire display.
Additionally it includes key scanning for an 8x2
key matrix which automatically scans a matrix of
up to 16 switches. STLED316S supports numeric-
type displays and reduces the overall BOM costs
through high integration. Also it provides ESD
protection of greater than 4 kV HBM.
The LED controller/driver is ideal as a peripheral
device to interface the display with a singlechip
microcomputer.
