Product Overview

The TLC5923 is a Texas Instruments 16-channel LED driver built as a constant-current sink device. Each output channel supports 0 to 80 mA current drive, with constant-current accuracy specified at ±1% typical. Output current can be adjusted per channel using 7-bit, 128-step dot correction, with a 112-bit dot-correction data packet arranged as 16 channels of 7-bit words, MSB first.

The driver operates from a 3.0 to 5.5 V recommended VCC range and supports LED output voltage up to 17 V at OUT0 through OUT15. Recommended free-air operating temperature is -40 to 85 °C. Absolute maximum ratings include 90 mA output current, -0.3 to 18 V output terminal voltage, and -40 to 150 °C storage temperature.

Packaging options include a 32-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD (DAP) and a 32-pin 5 mm x 5 mm QFN (RHB). Thermal and assembly considerations are reflected in separate power ratings for HTSSOP PowerPAD soldered, HTSSOP PowerPAD unsoldered, and QFN configurations. The device is suited to LED drive applications needing multi-channel constant-current control, serial data transfer, dot correction, and diagnostic outputs.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for TLC5923, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For LED and optoelectronic sourcing, brightness bin, wavelength or color temperature bin, forward voltage range, viewing angle, moisture sensitivity level and soldering process limits may affect final selection, availability and lead time.
