Description
The STP16C596 is a monolithic, medium-voltage,
low current power 16-bit shift register designed for
LED panel displays. The STP16C596 contains a
16-bit serial-IN, parallel-OUT shift register that
feeds a 16-bit, D-type storage register. In the
output stage, sixteen regulated current sources
are designed to provide 15-120mA constant
current to drive the LEDs.

Through an external resistor, users may adjust the
STP16C596 output current, controlling in this way
the light intensity of LEDs.

The serial output change state on the falling
edges of clock, this special feature will provide an
improved performance of the application when the
clock signal is skewed because the daisy chain is
too long.

The STP16C596 guarantees a 16V output driving
capability, allowing users to connect more LEDs in
series. The high clock frequency, 25MHz, also
satisfies the system demand for high volume data
transmission. Compared with a standard TSSOP
package, the TSSOP exposed pad increases heat
dissipation capability by a 2.5 factor.

Note:
Note: The latches circuit holds data when the LE terminal is Low.
When the LE terminal is at High level, latch circuit doesn’t hold the data it passes from the input
to the output.
When the OE terminal is at Low level, output terminals OUT0 to OUT15 respond to the data,
either ON or OFF.
When the OE terminal is at High level, it switches off all the data on the output terminal.
