Product Overview

The TLC59284 is a Texas Instruments LED driver built around 16 constant-current sink outputs, OUT0 through OUT15. Each channel is individually controlled through a serial interface, with a 16-bit shift register that shifts data toward the MSB on SCLK rising edges. SOUT connects to the shift-register MSB and changes data on the SCLK rising edge for serial chaining.

The driver operates from a recommended VCC range of 3 V to 5.5 V and supports 3.3 V or 5 V CMOS logic levels depending on VCC. Constant output sink current ranges are 2 mA to 35 mA for 3 V <= VCC <= 3.6 V and 2 mA to 45 mA for 3.6 V < VCC <= 5.5 V. LED/output voltage is rated up to 10 V recommended, with OUTn absolute maximum from -0.3 V to +11 V.

The DBQ 24-pin package is listed as SSOP-24 / QSOP-24. Thermal data includes 91.5°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance and +150°C absolute maximum junction temperature. BLANK forces all outputs off when high, LAT is a level-triggered latch, and outputs may be tied together to increase constant current.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for TLC59284, 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.
