Product Overview

The TLC59711 is a Texas Instruments 12-channel RGB LED driver for constant-current LED sink control. Its output structure includes 12 constant-current sink channels, with 60 mA per channel capability and 60 mA maximum constant output sink current across OUTR0-OUTR3, OUTG0-OUTG3, and OUTB0-OUTB3. Grayscale control is 16-bit with 65536 steps, while global brightness control is 7-bit with 128 steps per color group.

Power options include 4.0 to 17 V VCC operation when the internal regulator is used, or 3.0 to 5.5 V direct supply operation when VREG is connected to VCC. LED output voltage may be applied up to 17 V. The integrated regulator provides a 3.3 V typical output, with 3.1 V minimum and 3.5 V maximum over the stated regulator conditions.

The device is supplied in a 20-pin HTSSOP-20 PowerPAD PWP package with specified thermal resistance values, including 68.6 °C/W junction-to-ambient and 1.8 °C/W junction-to-case bottom. Digital interface parameters include SCKI operation from 0.007 to 10 MHz, 10 ns minimum SCKI pulse duration, 5 ns SDTI setup time, and 3 ns SDTI hold time. These specifications support RGB LED assemblies and cascaded LED-driver applications.
