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 along with 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.

While IOUT ≤ 100 mA, the maximum current skew between channels is less than ±3% and between ICs is less than ±6%. Adjusting Output Current TLC5916/TLC5917 scales up the reference current, Iref, set by the external resistor Rext to sink a current, Iout, at each output port. Users can follow the below 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 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.

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).

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. NOTES: 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 the Special Mode and the Normal Mode, as shown in the following sections. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback TLC5916, TLC5917 8-BIT CONSTANT-CURRENT LED SINK DRIVERS www.ti.com SLVS695 – JUNE 2007 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) 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. 1 2 3 >2 µs OE(ED2) 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 LE(ED1) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Error Status Code SDO Bit 7 Data source of shift register Error Detection SDI Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 SDI Figure 16. Reading Error Status Code 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. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0 CLK OE(ED2) 1 LE(ED1) 0 Bit 7 Bit 6 SDI 8-Bit Configuration Code Figure 17.

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.

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 sub-band (HC = 0): VG = 1/4 ~ 127/256, linearly divided into 64 steps High voltage sub-band (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) ~ (127/128), and it is divided into 256 steps. If CG = 127/128 = 0.992, the IOUT,target-Rext. 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.
