General Description
DM413 is a PWM enabled LED driver specifically designed for LED lighting or display
applications. It incorporates shift registers, data latches, 3-channel constant current circuitry with
current value set by 3 external resistors, and built-in oscillator for PWM functioning. Data and clock
buffer outputs are designed for cascading another chip. Additionally the Output Polarity Reverse
function is designed to adapt to more high power LED applications.

Features
z Maximum constant current outputs: 100mA determined by three external resistors
z Maximum sinking output voltage: 17V
z Maximum serial-in clock frequency: 20 MHz
z Built-in buffers for cascading clock and data to next driver
z PWM free-running capability (refresh rate (~ 400 Hz) with internal oscillator (~ 6.5 MHz))
z Selectable modes for PWM control:
‹ 8-bits luminance data with PWM current outputs (8 bits mode)
‹ 8-bits luminance data and 6-bits global brightness data (14 bits mode)
‹ 8-bits luminance data and 5-bits individual color correction data (13 bits mode)
z Output polarity reverse function

Constant-Current Output

Constant-current value of each output channel is set by an external resistor connected between
the R(G、B)REX pin and GND individually. Varying the resistor value can adjust the current scale
ranging from 5mA to 100mA. The output current value is calculated roughly by the following

Power Dissipation

Notice that the power dissipation of a semiconductor chip is limited to its package and ambient
temperature, in which the device requires the maximum output current calculated for given
operating conditions. The maximum allowable power consumption can be calculated by the
following equation:

Tj(junction temperature)(max)(°C)– Ta(ambient temperature)(°C)

Pd(max)(Watt) =
Rth(junction-to-air thermal resistance)(°C/Watt)

The relationship between power dissipation and operating temperature can be refer to the figure
below:

Tj(max)=140 °C

Based on the Pd(max), the maximum allowable voltage of output terminal can be determined by the
following equation:
