Optimize your LED control with the MBI5168GD-A

2025-08-27

MBI5168GD-A is an 8-channel constant-current LED driver from Macroblock, designed for precise and stable LED control in display and lighting systems. With PrecisionDrive™ technology, it provides a uniform output current regardless of LED forward voltage variations, ensuring consistent brightness. The device supports a fast serial interface and easy cascading of multiple chips, making it ideal for LED boards, information panels, and lighting control systems.

Key features:

  • 8 independent output channels – allowing control of 8 individual LEDs or LED groups.
  • Adjustable output current from 5 mA to 120 mA – set via an external resistor (R-EXT).
  • Constant-current PrecisionDrive™ technology – ensures stable brightness regardless of LED forward voltage.
  • High current accuracy:
    • Channel-to-channel: ±3%
    • Device-to-device: ±6%
  • Wide supply voltage range: 3.0 V – 5.5 V
  • Supports fast serial interface – clock frequency up to 25 MHz
  • Output voltage (VDS) up to 17 V – compatible with various LED configurations.
  • Output Enable (OE) function – allows fast on/off control of outputs.
  • SOP16 package – compact and easy to mount.

Applications:

  • LED boards and segment displays – both monochrome and color.
  • LED information and advertising panels
  • Decorative and architectural lighting control
  • LED matrix drivers (e.g., 8x8, 8xN)
  • Industrial applications – status indicators, operator panels.
  • LED cascade systems – serial connection of multiple devices via data output (SDO).
