CAT4008 8-Channel Constant Current LED Driver Description The CAT4008 is an 8 channel constant current driver for LED billboard and other general display applications. LED channel www.onsemi.com currents are programmed together via an external RSET resistor. Low output voltage operation on the LED channels as low as 0.4 V (for 2 to MARKING 100 mA LED current) allows for more power efficient designs. DIAGRAM A highspeed 4wire serial interface of up to 25MHz clock frequency controls each individual channel using a shift register and AB TSSOP16 latch configuration. A serial output data pin (SOUT) allows multiple 4008YZZ Y SUFFIX devices to be cascaded and programmed via one serial interface. The 3YMXXX CASE 948AN 1 device also includes a blanking control pin (BLANK) that can be used to disable all channels independently of the interface.
