　　The LED1642GW is a monolithic, low voltage, low current power 16-bit shift register designed for LED panel displays. The LED1642GW guarantees 20 V output driving capability allowing the user to connect several LEDs in series. In the output stage, sixteen regulated current sources provide from 3 mA to 40 mA constant current to drive the LEDs. The current is programmed through an external resistor and can be adjusted by 7-bit current gain register in two subranges.The brightness can be adjusted separately for each channel through a 12/16-bit grayscale control.A programmable turn-on and turn-off time (four different values are available) improves the system low noise generation performances.

　　In the LED1642GW is available the open/short error detection mode. The auto power shutdown and auto power-on feature (this feature is selectable) allow the device to save power without any external intervention.

　　Thermal management is equipped with overtemperature data alert and the output thermal shutdown (170 ℃).The high clock frequency is up to 30 MHz and it makes the device suitable for high data rate transmission. A selectable gradual output delay reduces the inrush current whereas the selectable SDO synchronization feature works when the device is used in daisy chain configuration. The supply voltage range is between 3 V and 5.5 V.
