Product Description
MBI5045 is designed for LED video applications using internal Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control with 16-bit
color depth which features a 16-bit shift register to convert serial input data into each pixel gray scale of output port.
Also, the function is a 16-channel constant current LED driver with V

=0.2V @ I
OUT
=20mA, which is excellent
compared to the conventional design. MBI5045 is dedicated to lowering power consumption in LED video display
application. The low knee voltage (LKV) design makes MBI5045 work at a constant output current with low V
DS
and
still guarantee PrecisionDrive™ feature. The output current can be preset through an external resistor. Moreover,
the preset current of MBI5045 can be further programmed to 64 gain steps for LED global brightness adjustment.
With Scrambled-PWM (S-PWM) technology, MBI5045 enhances Pulse Width Modulation by scrambling the “on”
time into several “on” periods. The enhancement equivalently increases the visual refresh rate. When building a
16-bit color depth video, S-PWM reduces the flickers and improves the fidelity. MBI5045 offloads the signal timing
generation of the host controller which just needs to feed data into drivers. MBI5045 drives the corresponding
brightness of LEDs by specifying image data. With MBI5045, all output channels can be built with 16-bit color depth
(65,536 gray scales). Each LED’s brightness can be calibrated with the compensated gamma correction or LED
deviation information inside the 16-bit image data.
MBI5045 provides a silent error detection which detects LED open circuit error and the execution won’t be observed.

*The PCB size is 76.2mm*114.3mm in simulation. Please refer to JEDEC JESD51.
** Operation at the maximum rating for extended periods may reduce the device reliability; therefore, the suggested
junction temperature of the device is under 125°C.
Note: The performance of thermal dissipation is strongly related to the size of thermal pad, thickness and layer
numbers of the PCB. The empirical thermal resistance may be different from simulative value. Users should plan for
expected thermal dissipation performance by selecting package and arranging layout of the PCB to maximize the
capability.
