8.1 Application Information

The TLC6C5816-Q1 device usually is used to drive LED indicators in automotive cluster applications to convey different kinds of information, such as airbag alert, engine fault, and so forth. Typically there are two types LED indicators, general-purpose indicators and safety-related indicators. General indicators only require a simple turnon and turnoff function. Safety-related indicators require not only LED on-off control, but also LED-open and -short diagnostics. The TLC6C5816-Q1 device is very flexible, as it has 8 configurable LED diagnostics pins, which can be configured as open-drain outputs or LED open- and short-diagnostics pins. By configuring corresponding channels for the LED diagnostics function, the TLC6C5816-Q1 device can provide LED open and short diagnostics to improve the system safety level. The following section describes a typical cluster application.
