Mouser Electronics now stocking Catalyst Semiconductor’s CAT4016 16-Channel LED Driver
Mouser Electronics Incorporated has announced it is stocking the CAT4016 16-channel, constant-current sink LED driver from Catalyst Semiconductor Incorporated, a leading supplier of analog, mixed-signal, and non-volatile memory semiconductors.
The CAT4016 LED channels can operate with an output voltage as low as 0.4V (for 2mA to 100mA LED current) to enable more power-efficient designs. The maximum LED current is set by an external resistor and a high-speed, four-wire serial interface with up to 25MHz clock frequency controls for each individual channel using a shift register and latch configuration. A serial output data pin allows multiple devices to be cascaded and programmed via one serial interface. The device features a thermal shutdown protection function to disable the LED outputs if the die temperature exceeds a set limit.
The LED driver is available in a wide range of package options including 24-lead SOIC, TSSOP, QSOP, and TQFN (4x4mm). The LED driver is designed for billboard, marquee, instrument, and other larger, general-purpose LED displays in both indoor and outdoor applications.
