Serial Data Interface
The TLC5923 is a 16 channel constant-current sink
driver. Each channel has a On/Off state and a
128-step adjustable constant current sink (dot correc-
tion). The dot correction adjusts the brightness vari-
ations between LED, LED channels and other LED
drivers. Both dot correction and On/Off state are
accessible via a serial data interface. A single exter-
nal resistor sets the maximum current of all 16
channels.
Fast Switching Output: Tr / Tf = 10ns (typical)
CMOS Level Input/Output
30 MHz Data Transfer Rate
VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V
Operating Temperature = -20°C to 85 °C
LED Supply Voltage up to 17 V
32-pin HTSSOP (PowerPAD™) Package
Dot Correction
The TLC5923 features two error information circuits.
The LED open detection (LOD) indicates a broken or
disconnected LED at an output terminal. The thermal
error flag (TEF) indicates an overtemperature con-
dition.
– 7 bit (128 Steps)
– individual adjustable for each channel
