DESCRIPTION
Fast Switching Output: Tr / Tf = 10ns (typical)
CMOS Level Input/Output
The TLC5924 is a 16 channel constant-current sink
driver. Each channel has a On/Off state and a
128-step adjustable constant current sink (dot
correction). The dot correction adjusts the brightness
variations between LED, LED channels and other
LED drivers. Both dot correction and On/Off state are
accessible via a serial data interface. A single
external resistor sets the maximum current of all 16
channels.
30 MHz Data Transfer Rate
VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V
Operating Temperature = –40°C to 85°C
LED Supply Voltage up to 17 V
32-pin HTSSOP(PowerPAD™) and QFN

Dot Correction
Each constant-current output has a pre-charge FET
that enables an improvement in image quality of the
dynamic-drive LED display.
– 7 bit (128 Steps)
– individual adjustable for each channel
Controlled In-Rush Current
Pre-Charge FET
The TLC5924 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 over-temperature
condition.
