Product Overview

The TLC59283 is a Texas Instruments 16-channel constant-current LED driver for LED systems using OUT0 through OUT15 as sink outputs. Each channel supports individual on/off control through the device serial communications protocol, with SCLK operation specified up to 35 MHz across the 3 to 5.5 V VCC range.

The output stage supports LED power supply or output drive voltage up to 10 V under recommended operating conditions, with an absolute maximum OUT pin range of -0.3 to 11 V. Constant-current operation is programmed by an external resistor between IREF and GND using the stated ideal current formula, IOUT(IDEAL) = 43.8 × 1.208 V / RIREF.

Electrical limits include 2 to 35 mA sink current for 3 V <= VCC <= 3.6 V and 2 to 45 mA for 3.6 V < VCC <= 5.5 V. Package options include DB (SSOP-24), DBQ (QSOP-24), and RGE (QFN-24). Thermal resistance is specified as 91.5 °C/W for DBQ and 42.9 °C/W for RGE.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for TLC59283, 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.
