Product Overview

The TLC5924 is a Texas Instruments 16-channel LED driver built around constant-current sink outputs OUT0 through OUT15. Each channel supports 0 to 80 mA constant-current drive, with a recommended maximum constant output current of 80 mA and an absolute maximum DC output current of 90 mA. Channel current is set using the IREF relationship IMAX = (VIREF / RIREF) × 40, with 1.24 V typical VIREF and RIREF not smaller than 600 Ω.

Per-channel dot correction is provided with 7-bit, 128-step adjustment. Dot correction current follows IOutn = IMAX × DCn / 127 for DCn values from 0 to 127, and the dot-correction data packet is 112 bits for 16 channels × 7-bit words, transferred MSB first.

The device operates from 3.0 to 5.5 V VCC and supports a 3 to 15 V VUP pre-charge range, with LED supply voltage up to 17 V. Package options include 32-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD (DAP) and 32-pin 5 mm × 5 mm QFN (RHB), with specified power ratings and derating factors for both packages.
