DESCRIPTION
30-MHz Data Transfer Rate (Standalone)
15-MHz Data Transfer Rate (Cascaded Devices,
SCLK Duty = 50%)
The TLC5947 is a 24-channel, constant current sink
LED driver. Each channel is individually adjustable
with 4096 pulse-width modulated (PWM) steps. PWM
control is repeated automatically with the
programmed grayscale (GS) data. GS data are
written via a serial interface port. The current value of
all 24 channels is set by a single external resistor.

Auto Display Repeat
4-MHz Internal Oscillator
Thermal Shutdown (TSD):
The TLC5947 has a thermal shutdown (TSD) function
that turns off all output drivers during an
over-temperature condition. All of the output drivers
automatically restart when the temperature returns to
normal conditions.
–
Automatic shutdown at over temperature
conditions
–
Restart under normal temperature
