Description
The A6277 is specifically designed for LED display
applications. Each BiCMOS device includes an 8-bit CMOS
shift register, accompanying data latches, and eight NPN
constant-current sink drivers. Two package styles and two
operating temperature ranges are available.
The CMOS shift register and latches allow direct interfacing
with microprocessor-based systems. With a 5 V logic supply,
typical serial data-input rates are up to 20 MHz. The LED drive
current is determined by the user selection of a single resistor.
A CMOS serial data output permits cascade connections in
applications requiring additional drive lines. For inter-digit
blanking, all output drivers can be disabled with an ENABLE
input high. In addition, a HIGH/LOW function enables full
selected current with the application of a logic low, or 50%
selected current with the application of a logic high.
Two package styles are provided, a through-hole DIP (suffix
A), and a surface-mount SOIC (LW). The copper leadframe
and low logic-power dissipation allow the DIP to sink 122 mA
through all outputs continuously over the operating temperature
range (1.0 V drop, 85°C). Both packages are lead (Pb) free,
with 100% matte-tin leadframe plating.
