I am looking for a programmable chip to drive an array of leds:

1. chip should be able to control up to 16 leds or more. probably 0603's
2. chip needs to be very low power. (battery operated)
3. I would like to control intputs to make leds have different patterns
4. A nice function of this chip would be to have a fade effect for led array.

Any suggestions would be greatly apprecitated!

Use PIC16F88x or PIC16F87X any of them would do.
With a little extra programming,  you could even use a  16F505 by timesharing and multiplexing some of the LEDs.
in this instance, you will only need 5 IO pins, 1 for control and 4 for driving the 16 LEDs.

Yes, you use mcu control and power supply you will be use DC-DC converter. Because low power circuit want stabilizer of power supply.  Cool

PWM option required for fading effect.
