Design Considerations

Texas Instruments provides a broad portfolio of high-performance products for your LED design needs. From RF and power management (including AC/DC, Power Factor Correction, DC/DC and linear power conversion) to DSPs and ultra-low-power MCUs, TI has products to differentiate your design. And, TI's local support and applications expertise can help you get to market faster.

Applications such as Mono-/multi-/full-color LED displays/signs, LED signboards and display backlight require manipulation of LED current and time to produce images. The TLC59xx offers many features to extract the most from your LED application:

  • Dot correction for equalizing luminance of LEDs
  • PWM and on-off dimming
  • 8, 12, 16-channel drivers
  • 30 - 120mA driver current per channel
  • Data transfer up to 30MHz
  • Safety protection and error reporting
