DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The TLC5916/TLC5917 is designed for LED displays and LED lighting applications with constant-current control
and open-load, shorted-load, and overtemperature detection. The TLC5916/TLC5917 contains an 8-bit shift
register and data latches, which convert serial input data into parallel output format. At the output stage, eight
regulated current ports are designed to provide uniform and constant current for driving LEDs within a wide range
of VF variations. Used in system design for LED display applications, e.g., LED panels, it provides great flexibility
and device performance. Users can adjust the output current from 5 mA to 120 mA through an external resistor,
Rext, which gives flexibility in controlling the light intensity of LEDs. The devices are designed for up to 17 V at
the output port. The high clock frequency, 30 MHz, also satisfies the system requirements of high-volume data
transmission.
The TLC5916/TLC5917 provides a Special Mode in which two functions are included, Error Detection and
Current Gain Control. There are two operation modes and three phases: Normal Mode phase, Mode Switching
transition phase, and Special Mode phase. The signal on the multiple function pin OE(ED2) is monitored to
determine the mode. When an one-clock-wide pulse appears on OE(ED2), the device enters the Mode Switching
phase. At this time, the voltage level on LE(ED1) determines the mode to which the TLC5916/TLC5917 switches.
In the Normal Mode phase, the serial data can be transferred into TLC5916/TLC5917 via the pin SDI, shifted in
the shift register, and transferred out via the pin SDO. LE(ED1) can latch the serial data in the shift register to the
output latch. OE(ED2) enables the output drivers to sink current.
In the Special Mode phase, the low-voltage-level signal OE(ED2) can enable output channels and detect the
status of the output current, to determine if the driving current level is sufficient. The detected Error Status is
loaded into the 8-bit shift register and shifted out via the pin SDO, synchronous to the CLK signal. The system
controller can read the error status and determine whether or not the LEDs are properly lit.
In the Special Mode phase, the TLC5916/TLC5917 allows users to adjust the output current level by setting a
runtime-programmable Configuration Code. The code is sent into the TLC5916/TLC5917 via SDI. The positive
pulse of LE(ED1) latches the code in the shift register into a built-in 8-bit configuration latch, instead of the output
latch. The code affects the voltage at the terminal R-EXT and controls the output-current regulator. The output
current can be finely adjusted by a gain ranging from 1/12 to 127/128 in 256 steps. Therefore, the current skew
between ICs can be compensated within less than 1%. This feature is suitable for white balancing in LED color
display panels.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Operating Principles
Constant Current
In LED display applications, the TLC5916/TLC5917 provides nearly no current variations from channel to channel
and from IC to IC. While IOUT ≤ 100 mA, the maximum current skew between channels is less than ±3% and
between ICs is less than ±6%.
Adjusting Output Current
The TLC5916/TLC5917 scales up the reference current, Iref, set by the external resistor Rext to sink a current, Iout,
at each output port. Use the following formulas to calculate the target output current IOUT,target in the saturation
region:
VR-EXT = 1.26 V × VG
Iref = VR-EXT/Rext, if another end of the external resistor Rext is connected to ground
IOUT,target = Iref × 15 × 3CM – 1
Where Rext is the resistance of the external resistor connected to the R-EXT terminal, and VR-EXT is the voltage of
R-EXT, which is controlled by the programmable voltage gain (VG), which is defined by the Configuration Code.
The Current Multiplier (CM) determines that the ratio IOUT,target/Iref is 15 or 5. After power on, the default value of
VG is 127/128 = 0.992, and the default value of CM is 1, so that the ratio IOUT,target/Iref = 15. Based on the default
VG and CM.
VR-EXT = 1.26 V × 127/128 = 1.25 V
IOUT,target = (1.25 V/Rext) × 15
Therefore, the default current is approximately 52 mA at 360 Ω and 26 mA at 720 Ω. The default relationship
after power on between IOUT,target and Rext is shown in Figure 14.

Operation Phases
Operation Mode Switching
In order to switch between its two modes, TLC5916/TLC5917 monitors the signal OE(ED2). When an
one-clock-wide pulse of OE(ED2) appears, TLC5916/TLC5917 enters the two-clock-period transition phase, the
Mode Switching phase. After power on, the default operation mode is the Normal Mode (see Figure 15).

Figure 15. Mode Switching
As shown in Figure 15, once a one-clock-wide short pulse (101) of OE(ED2) appears, TLC5916/TLC5917 enters
the Mode Switching phase. At the fourth rising edge of CLK, if LE(ED1) is sampled as voltage high,
TLC5916/TLC5917 switches to Special mode; otherwise, it switches to Normal mode. The signal LE(ED1)
between the third and the fifth rising edges of CLK cannot latch any data. Its level is used only to determine into
which mode to switch. However, the short pulse of OE(ED2) can still enable the output ports. During mode
switching, the serial data can still be transferred through SDI and shifted out from SDO.
NOTE:
1. The signal sequence for the mode switching may be used frequently to ensure that
TLC5916/TLC5917 is in the proper mode.
2. The 1 and 0 on the LE(ED1) signal are sampled at the rising edge of CLK. The X means its
level does not affect the result of mode switching mechanism.
3. After power on, the default operation mode is Normal mode.
Normal Mode Phase
Serial data is transferred into TLC5916/TLC5917 via SDI, shifted in the Shift register, and output via SDO.
LE(ED1) can latch the serial data in the Shift register to the Output Latch. OE(ED2) enables the output drivers to
sink current. These functions differ only as described in Operation Mode Switching, in which case, a short pulse
triggers TLC5916/TLC5917 to switch the operation mode. However, as long as LE(ED1) is high in the Mode
Switching phase, TLC5916/TLC5917 remains in the Normal mode, as if no mode switching occurred.
Special Mode Phase
In the Special mode, as long as OE(ED2) is not low, the serial data is shifted to the Shift register via SDI and
shifted out via SDO, as in the Normal mode. However, there are two differences between Special mode and
Normal mode, as shown in the following sections.

Reading Error Status Code in Special Mode
When OE(ED2) is pulled low while in Special mode, error detection and load error status codes are loaded into
the Shift register, in addition to enabling output ports to sink current. Figure 16 shows the timing sequence for
error detection. The 0 and 1 signal levels are sampled at the rising edge of each CLK. At least three zeros must
be sampled at the voltage low signal OE(ED2). Immediately after the second zero is sampled, the data input
source of the Shift register changes to the 8-bit parallel Error Status Code register, instead of from the serial data
on SDI. Normally, the error status codes are generated at least 2 µs after the falling edge of OE(ED2). The
occurrence of the third or later zero saves the detected error status codes into the Shift register. Therefore, when
OE(ED2) is low, the serial data cannot be shifted into TLC5916/TLC5917 via SDI. When OE(ED2) is pulled high,
the data input source of the Shift register is changed back to SDI. At the same time, the output ports are disabled
and the error detection is completed. Then, the error status codes saved in the Shift register can be shifted out
via SDO bit by bit along with CLK, as well as the new serial data can be shifted into TLC5916/TLC5917 via SDI.
While in Special mode, the TLC5916/TLC5917 cannot simultaneously transfer serial data and detect LED load
error status.

Writing Configuration Code in Special Mode
When in Special mode, the active high signal LE(ED1) latches the serial data in the Shift register to the
Configuration Latch, instead of the Output Latch. The latched serial data is used as the Configuration Code.
The code is stored until power off or the Configuration Latch is rewritten. As shown in Figure 17, the timing for
writing the Configuration Code is the same as the timing in the Normal Mode to latching output channel data.
Both the Configuration Code and Error Status Code are transferred in the common 8-bit Shift register. Users
must pay attention to the sequence of error detection and current adjustment to avoid the Configuration Code
being overwritten by Error Status Code.

Open-Circuit Detection Principle
The LED Open-Circuit Detection compares the effective current level Iout with the open load detection threshold
current IOUT,Th. If IOUT is below the IOUT,Th threshold, the TLC5916/TLC5917 detects an open-load condition. This
error status can be read as an error status code in the Special mode. For open-circuit error detection, a channel
must be on.

Short-Circuit Detection Principle (TLC5917 Only)
The LED short-circuit detection compares the effective voltage level (VOUT) with the shorted-load detection
threshold voltages VOUT,TTh and VOUT,RTh. If VOUT is above the VOUT,TTh threshold, the TLC5917 detects an
shorted-load condition. If VOUT is below the VOUT,RTh threshold, no error is detected/error bit is reset. This error
status can be read as an error status code in the Special mode. For short-circuit error detection, a channel must
be on.

Overtemperature Detection and Shutdown
TLC5916/TLC5917 is equipped with a global overtemperature sensor and eight individual, channel-specific,
overtemperature sensors.
• When the global sensor reaches the trip temperature, all output channels are shutdown, and the error status
is stored in the internal Error Status register of every channel. After shutdown, the channels automatically
restart after cooling down, if the control signal (output latch) remains on. The stored error status is not reset
after cooling down and can be read out as the error status code in the Special mode.
• When one of the channel-specific sensors reaches trip temperature, only the affected output channel is shut
down, and the error status is stored only in the internal Error Status register of the affected channel. After
shutdown, the channel automatically restarts after cooling down, if the control signal (output latch) remains
on. The stored error status is not reset after cooling down and can be read out as error status code in the
Special mode.
For channel-specific overtemperature error detection, a channel must be on.
The error status code is reset when TLC5916/TLC5917 returns to Normal mode.

Bit 7 is first sent into TLC5916/TLC5917 via SDI. Bits 1 to 7 {HC, CC[0:5]} determine the voltage gain (VG) that
affects the voltage at R-EXT and indirectly affects the reference current, Iref, flowing through the external resistor
at R-EXT. Bit 0 is the Current Multiplier (CM) that determines the ratio IOUT,target/Iref. Each combination of VG and
CM gives a specific Current Gain (CG).
• VG: the relationship between {HC,CC[0:5]} and the voltage gain is calculated as shown below:
VG = (1 + HC) × (1 + D/64) / 4
D = CC0 × 25 + CC1 × 24 + CC2 × 23 + CC3 × 22 + CC4 × 21 + CC5 × 20
Where HC is 1 or 0, and D is the binary value of CC[0:5]. So, the VG could be regarded as a floating-point
number with 1-bit exponent HC and 6-bit mantissa CC[0:5]. {HC,CC[0:5]} divides the programmable voltage
gain VG into 128 steps and two sub-bands:
Low-voltage subband (HC = 0): VG = 1/4 ~ 127/256, linearly divided into 64 steps
High-voltage subband (HC = 1): VG = 1/2 ~ 127/128, linearly divided into 64 steps
• CM: In addition to determining the ratio IOUT,target/Iref, CM limits the output current range.
High Current Multiplier (CM = 1): IOUT,target/Iref = 15, suitable for output current range IOUT = 10 mA to 120 mA.
Low Current Multiplier (CM = 0): IOUT,target/Iref = 5, suitable for output current range IOUT = 5 mA to 40 mA
• CG: The total Current Gain is defined as the following.
VR-EXT = 1.26 V × VG
Iref = VR-EXT/Rext, if the external resistor, Rext, is connected to ground.
IOUT,target = Iref × 15 × 3CM – 1 = 1.26 V/Rext × VG × 15 × 3CM – 1 = (1.26 V/Rext × 15) × CG
CG = VG × 3CM – 1
Therefore, CG = 1/12 to 127/128, and it is divided into 256 steps.
Examples
• Configuration Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} = {1,1,111111}
VG = 127/128 = 0.992 and CG = VG × 30 = VG = 0.992
• Configuration Code = {1,1,000000}
VG = (1 + 1) × (1 + 0/64)/4 = 1/2 = 0.5, and CG = 0.5
• Configuration Code = {0,0,000000}
VG = (1 + 0) × (1 + 0/64)/4 = 1/4, and CG = (1/4) × 3–1 = 1/12
After power on, the default value of the Configuration Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} is {1,1,111111}. Therefore,
VG = CG = 0.992. The relationship between the Configuration Code and the Current Gain is shown in Figure 19.

sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
