2. core features
2.1. 16 channel high precision constant current output:
Each output current can be set in the range of 5mA ~ 35mA, the deviation between channels is ≤ 3%, and the deviation between chips is ≤ 5%, ensuring that the LED brightness is highly consistent.

2.3. External resistor setting output current:
Through the R-EXT pin external resistor, the output current value of all channels can be accurately set, the calculation formula is as follows:

Riref in the formula refers to the resistance of the R-EXT terminal. When the resistance value is 600 Ω, the output current value is 30mA calculated by the formula. When electricity
When the resistance is 1KΩ, the output current is 18mA.

The R-EXT pin is connected to GND with different resistance values to obtain different constant currents at the output of the OUT pin, but different constant currents enter the constant current.
The voltage at the flow turning point is different. As can be seen in the figure, the constant current voltage point & asymp at 30mA; 0.8V, while the constant current voltage point drops to & asymp at 15mA; 0.5V,
When designing the circuit, the voltage drop at the OUTx end should be fully considered to avoid the driving current not reaching the set pre-value.
In addition, the OUTx terminal is not suitable to work at a high voltage drop for a long time when it is turned on, which will increase the power loss of the chip, resulting in
The heat of the chip is serious, which affects the stability of the system.

6. Design Considerations
6.1. Constant current point voltage consideration
The constant current transition voltage under different output currents is different, such as about 0.8V at 30mA and about 0.5V at 15mA. The design should ensure that the OUT port voltage drop is higher than this value to ensure the constant current effect.
6.2. Thermal Management
The OUT port should not work in a high voltage drop state for a long time, otherwise it will cause the chip power consumption to increase, the temperature rise is too high, and the system stability is affected.
6.3. PCB Layout Recommendations
• 0.1μF decoupling capacitor shall be arranged between VDD and GND
• The R-EXT resistor should be as close as possible to the chip pin to reduce noise interference
• Large current traces should be wide enough to reduce voltage drop and heat accumulation
