TLC5916IPW datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLC5916IPW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current that can be sourced or sunk by each output?
  The TLC5916IPW can source up to 30mA and sink up to 50mA per output.
• How do I ensure that the LED current is consistent across all outputs?
  To ensure consistent LED current, use an external resistor (Rext) to set the current, and make sure to use LEDs with similar forward voltage drops.
• What is the purpose of the EN pin, and how do I use it?
  The EN (enable) pin is used to enable or disable the entire device. When EN is low, the device is in shutdown mode, and all outputs are turned off. When EN is high, the device is enabled, and the outputs are active.
• How do I program the TLC5916IPW to achieve a specific brightness or dimming effect?
  The TLC5916IPW uses a 7-bit grayscale PWM (pulse-width modulation) to control the brightness of the LEDs. You can program the device using an external microcontroller to achieve the desired brightness or dimming effect.
• What is the maximum frequency of the clock input (CLK) pin?
  The maximum frequency of the clock input (CLK) pin is 25 MHz.
