Texas Instruments TLC696x1/TLC696x1-Q1 Constant Current Sink Drivers
Texas Instruments TLC696x1/TLC696x1-Q1 16-Channel Constant Current Sink Drivers integrate 16 constant current sinks with SRAM for brightness storage. The device connects by a two-wire serial interface in daisy chain topology and supports up to 1024 devices for 16,000 local dimming zones.The device has an adaptive headroom voltage control scheme to directly control DC/DC and optimize system efficiency. Only the FB pin from the last device in a serial chain should be connected to DC/DC to achieve a simplified system layout. The device also integrates minimum brightness update latency, black insertion, and VRR features to improve display quality.
Texas Instruments TLC696x1/TLC696x1-Q1 has three error flags: LED open detection (LOD), LED short detection (LSD), and thermal shutdown detection (TSD) for diagnostic. The device implements two options for readback, including UART/INT and SOUT/CLK_O, which is programmable by a register. The TLC696x1-Q1 devices are AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications.
