Automotive LED Sequential Brake/Turn Light TI Reference Design

TIDA-00336

Design files

Overview

This reference design utilizes a TLC6C5912 shift register operated via two 555 timers integrated in the TLC556 device, showcasing a cost-effective design for rolling LED design. This design can also withstand automotive cold-crank conditions capable of full operation at 5 V with the ability to operate down to 3.3 V.

Features
  • LED patterns remain periodic while still adjustable by the user which allows flexibility in number of LEDs used
  • No MCU or software required which provides cost-effectiveness that helps with production release time
  • Thermal shutdown protection integrated in TLC6C5912-Q1  to avoid overheating and damaging the IC
  • Slow swithcing time: rise time = 207 ns and fall time = 128 ns to significantly reduce EMI
