STMicroelectronics Announces New Series of Highly Accurate LED Drivers with Automatic Power Saving to Better LED Signage

The new series of highly accurate LED drivers are the STP16CPP05, STP16CPPS05, STP16DPP05 and STP16DPPS05. The new series of LED drivers with automatic power saving, enabling electronic signage such as road signs, advertising, stadium displays, battery or solar-powered signs and similar equipment to deliver better, high-resolution viewing by ensuring consistent brightness across the viewing area. The new LED drivers provide optional features including ST-patented automatic power saving, as well as built-in LED error detection. Available variants allow designers to specify either or both of these value-added features, in a choice of four industry-standard package options. The patented automatic power saving allows the drivers to turn off independently when no LED drive data is provided. This function delivers two benefits: software design is simplified as no power-save algorithm is required; and power savings are increased as the drivers turn off more quickly than is generally possible under software control…
