The registers are reset by applying a voltage below VTL to the RST_B terminal causing D7 to D0 to become open. Erroneous LED lighting could be prevented by applying a voltage below VTL to RST_B during start-up. CLK SERIN 8bit Shift Register 8bit Driver Register LATCH Figure 14.

PWM Signal 4）SEROUT A cascade connection can be made (connecting at least 2 or more IC’s in serial). Serial signal input from SERIN is transferred into receiver IC by the falling edge of the CLK signal. Since this functionality gives enough margins for the setup time prior to the rising edge of the CLK signal on the receiver IC (using the exact same CLK signal of sender IC), the application reliability can be improved as cascade connection functionality. Figure 16. SEROUT Output Signal Cascade Connection By using (at least) 2 ICs, each IC’s D7 to D0, at (at least) 16ch, can be controlled by the 16-bit SERIN signal.

Reverse Connection of Power Supply Connecting the power supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power supply pins. 2. Power Supply Lines Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance supply lines. Separate the ground and supply lines of the digital and analog blocks to prevent noise in the ground and supply lines of the digital block from affecting the analog block. Furthermore, connect a capacitor to ground at all power supply pins. Consider the effect of temperature and aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic capacitors. 3. Ground Voltage Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition. 4. Ground Wiring Pattern When using both small-signal and large-current ground traces, the two ground traces should be routed separately but connected to a single ground at the reference point of the application board to avoid fluctuations in the small-signal ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the ground traces of external components do not cause variations on the ground voltage. The ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance. 5. Thermal Consideration Should by any chance the power dissipation rating be exceeded the rise in temperature of the chip may result in deterioration of the properties of the chip. The absolute maximum rating of the Pd stated in this specification is when the IC is mounted on a 70mm x 70mm x 1.6mm glass epoxy board. In case of exceeding this absolute maximum rating, increase the board size and copper area to prevent exceeding the Pd rating. 6. Recommended Operating Conditions These conditions represent a range within which the expected characteristics of the IC can be approximately obtained. The electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter. 7. Inrush Current When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush current may flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC has more than one power supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring, and routing of connections. 8. Operation Under Strong Electromagnetic Field Operating the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field may cause the IC to malfunction. 9. Testing on Application Boards When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor directly to a low-impedance output pin may subject the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply should always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection process. To prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during transport and storage. 10. Inter-pin Short and Mounting Errors Ensure that the direction and position are correct when mounting the IC on the PCB. Incorrect mounting may result in damaging the IC. Avoid nearby pins being shorted to each other especially to ground, power supply and output pin. Inter-pin shorts could be due to many reasons such as metal particles, water droplets (in very humid environment) and unintentional solder bridge deposited in between pins during assembly to name a few. www.rohm.com © 2013 ROHM Co., Ltd.

Unused Input Pins Input pins of an IC are often connected to the gate of a MOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impedance and extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small charge acquired in this way is enough to produce a significant effect on the conduction through the transistor and cause unexpected operation of the IC. So unless otherwise specified, unused input pins should be connected to the power supply or ground line. 12. Regarding the Input Pin of the IC This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them isolated. P-N junctions are formed at the intersection of the P layers with the N layers of other elements, creating a parasitic diode or transistor. For example (refer to figure below): When GND > Pin A and GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic diode. When GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic transistor. Parasitic diodes inevitably occur in the structure of the IC. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in mutual interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage. Therefore, conditions that cause these diodes to operate, such as applying a voltage lower than the GND voltage to an input pin (and thus to the P substrate) should be avoided. Figure 21. Example of monolithic IC structure 13. Ceramic Capacitor When using a ceramic capacitor, determine the dielectric constant considering the change of capacitance with temperature and the decrease in nominal capacitance due to DC bias and others. 14. Area of Safe Operation (ASO) Operate the IC such that the output voltage, output current, and power dissipation are all within the Area of Safe Operation (ASO). www.rohm.com © 2013 ROHM Co., Ltd.
