The STP16C596 is a 16-bit programmable shift register from STMicroelectronics. It has 16 programmable output channels, adjustable output current through an external resistor, serial data in/parallel data out, serial output change state on the falling edges of clock, output current of 15-120 mA, 25 MHz clock frequency, and is available in high thermal TSSOP exposed pad. It is suitable for LED panel displays and other applications.
The STP16C596 is a 16‑bit constant‑current LED sink driver designed for LED panel displays. It provides 16 regulated current sources with adjustable output current of 15‑120 mA through an external resistor and supports a 25 MHz clock frequency.
The document includes pin descriptions, absolute maximum ratings, thermal data, recommended operating conditions, electrical and switching characteristics, as well as package options such as DIP‑24, SO‑24 and TSSOP‑24 exposed‑pad versions.
