Key benefits Precise LED brightness control: Each of the 16 outputs supports 4096 linear brightness levels (12 bits), enabling smooth dimming from off to full brightness and fine tonal control for indicators and displays. Flexible output configuration: 16 pushpull outputs (sinking up to 25 mA and sourcing up to 10 mA at 5 V) can be softwareprogrammed as opendrain outputs if needed. Default is pushpull, and there is no input function required for this selection. drive, robust bus interface: MHz Fast Mode Plus compatible bus interface with 30 mA drive on SDA supports driving large capacitive loads and long cables, ensuring reliable communication in demanding applications. Programmable update behavior: The output state can be configured to change on response or to stop and update all outputs simultaneously. The default behavior is stop change, giving deterministic control when coordinating multichannel updates. Safe and flexible enable control: A lowactive output enable input pin allows the LED outputs to be set to 0, 1, or impedance when the pin is . The default at poweron is impedance for safe startup.

Benefit from fast bus communication to update multiple indicators in sync, and use the enable pin for controlled tristate operation during faults or maintenance. density LED display backplanes Leverage 12bit brightness per channel to render nuanced intensity levels across a large display. Use the MHz Fast Mode Plus interface to manage rapid updates across many channels, even with capacitive interconnects. Instrumentation and automotivestyle indicator clusters The pushpull outputs with optional opendrain configuration support diverse load requirements in compact form factors. The lowactive enable pin allows safe startup and controlled output enable/disable without unintended transitions. Specifications at a glance Outputs: 16 pushpull outputs (configurable as opendrain via software, default pushpull) Drive capability: Sinking up to 25 mA, sourcing up to 10 mA per output at 5 V Brightness resolution: 12bit (4096 levels) per LED output Interface: MHz Fast Mode Plus compatible bus interface with 30 mA SDA drive Update behavior: Programmable to change on response or to stop and update all outputs simultaneously; default is stop change Enable control: Lowactive output enable input; when , outputs can be set to 0, 1, or impedance; default impedance at poweron Notes on usage and integration The device supports precise perchannel brightness control while enabling synchronized updates across all channels for cohesive visual effects. The bus interface supports drive SDA to accommodate larger or more capacitive interconnects, which is advantageous in densely wired panels or long trace runs. The default pushpull configuration provides strong drive for common LED load types; opendrain can be selected in software to accommodate different wiring or load requirements without hardware changes. The enable pin provides a straightforward mechanism to tristate outputs during reset, powerup, or fault conditions, contributing to safer and more controllable system behavior.
