Texas Instruments TLC69629-Q1 48-Channel LED Drivers

Texas Instruments TLC69629-Q1 48-Channel LED Drivers can provide up to 16-bit individual pixel-level LED PWM control. The additional 7-bit dot correction (DC) is also implemented for each channel to control peak current. Each device shares a data stream by cascaded serial interface (CSI), which supports up to 511 device connections. The interface can be applied to various application scenarios based on LED current and total number of LEDs, and the software is compatible with LED drivers within the same group.

To optimize overall systematic power efficiency, the device is equipped with an Adaptive Headroom Voltage Control (AHVC) scheme to optimize headroom voltage across each channel and device. Only the OUT47 pin from the last daisy-chain device must be programmed as an FB pin to optimize LED supply voltage from DC-DC. The Texas Instruments TLC69629-Q1 is equipped with diagnostics for LED, current sink, communication, and device.
