Each channel can be turned on or off by writing data to an internal register. The constant current value of all 16 channels is set by a single external resistor with 128 steps for the global brightness control (BC). The TLC5929 has six error flags: LED open detection (LOD), LED short detection (LSD), output leakage detection (OLD), reference current terminal short detection (ISF), pre-thermal warning (PTW) and thermal error flag (TEF). In addition, the LOD and LSD functions have invisible detection mode (IDM) that can detect those errors even when the output is off. The error detection results can be read via a serial interface port. The TLC5929 also has a power-save mode that sets the total current consumption to 10 µA (typ) when all outputs are off.

I/O DESCRIPTION Blank all outputs. When BLANK is high, all constant-current outputs (OUT0 to OUT15) are forced off. When BLANK is low, all constant-current outputs are controlled by the on/off control data in the data latch. BLANK 21 I IREF 23 I/O Maximum current programming terminal. A resistor connected between IREF and GND sets the maximum current for every constant-current output. When this terminal is directly connected to GND, all outputs are forced off. The external resistor should be placed close to the device and must be in the range of 1.32 kΩ to 66.0 kΩ. LAT 4 I Data latch. The rising edge of LAT latches the data from the common shift register into the output on/off data latch. At the same time, the data in the common shift register are replaced with SID, which is selected by SIDLD. See the Output On/Off Data Latch section and Status Information Data (SID) section for more details.

Data present on SIN are shifted to the LSB of the 17-bit shift register with the SCLK rising edge. Data in the shift register are shifted toward the MSB at each SCLK rising edge. The MSB data of the common shift register appear on SOUT. SIN 2 I Serial data input for the 17-bit common shift register. When SIN is high, a '1' is written to the LSB of the common shift register at the rising edge of SCLK. SOUT 22 O Serial data output of the 17-bit common shift register. SOUT is connected to the MSB of the 17-bit shift register. Data are clocked out at the rising edge of SCLK. VCC 24 — Power-supply voltage Ground Constant-current sink outputs. Multiple outputs can be configured in parallel to increase the constant-current capability. Different voltages can be applied to each output.

The current value can be calculated by Equation 1: RIREF = VIREF ´ 54.8 IOLCMax Where: VIREF = the internal reference voltage on IREF (typically 1.205 V when the global brightness control data are at maximum. IOLCMax = 1 mA to 40 mA for VCC ≤ 3.6 V, or 1 mA to 50 mA for VCC > 3.6 V at OUT0 to OUT15 with BC = 7Fh (1) IOLCMax is the highest current for each output. Each output sinks IOLCMax current when it is turned on with the maximum global brightness control (BC) data. Each output sink current can be reduced by lowering the global brightness control value. RIREF must be between 1.32 kΩ and 66.0 kΩ in order to hold IOLCMax between 50 mA (typ) and 1 mA (typ). Otherwise, the output may be unstable. Output currents lower than 1 mA can be achieved by setting IOLCMax to 1 mA or higher and then using the global brightness control to lower the output current. Figure 8 and Table 1 show the characteristics of the constant-current sink versus the external resistor, RIREF. Table 1.

This function is called global brightness control (BC). The global BC for all outputs (OUT0 to OUT15) can be set with a 7-bit word. The global BC adjusts all output currents in 128 steps from 0% to 100%. where 100% corresponds to the maximum output current set by RIREF. Equation 2 calculates the actual output current. BC data can be set via the serial interface. IOLCn (mA) = IOLCMax (mA) ´ BC 127 Where: IOLCMax = the maximum constant-current value for each output determined by RIREF. BC = the global brightness control value in the control data latch (0h to 7Fh) (2) Table 2 shows the BC data versus the constant-current ratio against IOLCMAx. Table 2.

The common shift register is 17-bits long and the two control data latches are 16-bits long. When the MSB of the common shift register is '0' and LAT shows a rising edge, the lower 16 bits of the common shift register are copied into the output on/off data latch. When the MSB is '1' and LAT shows a rising edge, the lower 16 bits are copied into the control data latch.

The data shifted into the register are used for the output on/off control, global BC, and the control functions. The LSB of the common shift register is connected to SIN and the MSB is connected to SOUT. On each rising edge of SCLK, the data on SIN are shifted into the LSB and all 17 bits are shifted towards the MSB. The register MSB is always connected to SOUT. In addition, the status information data (SID) selected by the load select data in the control data latch are loaded to the lower 16 bits of the common shift register when a rising edge is input on LAT and the MSB of the shift register is '0'. When the device is powered on, all 17 bits of the common shift register are set to '0'. Output On/Off Data Latch The output on/off data latch is 16 bits long and sets the on or off status for each constant-current output. When BLANK is low, the output corresponding to the specific bit in the output on/off data latch is turned on if the data is '1' and remains off if the data is '0'. When BLANK is high, all outputs are forced off, but the data in the latch do not change as long as LAT does not latch in new data. When the device is powered on, all bits in the data latch are set to '0'. The output on/off data latch configuration is shown in Figure 21 and the data bit assignment is shown in Table 3.

(3) Because it takes 20 µs (max) to return to normal mode, the first SCLK rising edge should be input at least 20 µs before OUTn is enabled. Figure 25. Power-Save Mode Timing LED OPEN DETECTION (LOD) LOD detects a fault caused by an open circuit in the nth LED string, or a short from OUTn to ground, by comparing the OUTn voltage to the LOD detection threshold voltage level (VLOD = 0.3 V, typ). If the OUTn voltage is lower than VLOD, that output LOD bit is set to '1' to indicate an open LED string. Otherwise, the LOD bit is set to '0'. LOD data are only valid for outputs that are programmed to be enabled. LOD data for outputs that are programmed to be disabled are always '0' (see Table 11), except when IDM is enabled. The LOD data are stored in a 16-bit register called SID holder (see the Functional Block Diagram) at the rising edge of BLANK when the SIDLD bits are set to '01' (see Table 6). However, when the IDM is enabled, the LOD bits are stored in the SID holder at the end of the IDM working time selected by IDMTIM (see Table 9). The stored LOD data can be read out through the common shift register as SID at the SOUT pin. LOD/LSD data are not valid for 0.5 µs after the output is turned on. When the device resumes operation from power-save mode, the LOD cannot be executed before the propagation delay (tD4) has elapsed because LOD does not work during power-save mode. 24 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TLC5929 TLC5929 SBVS159 – APRIL 2011 www.ti.com LED SHORT DETECTION (LSD) The LSD data are stored into a 16-bit register called SID holder at the rising edge of BLANK when the SIDLD bits are set to '10' (see Table 6) or when IDM is enabled. The LSD bits are stored in the SID holder at the end of the IDM working time (IDMTIM). The stored LSD data can be read out through the common shift register as SID at the SOUT pin. Note that the LOD/LSD bits are not stable during the first 0.5 µs after the falling edge of BLANK. LSD data detect a fault caused by a shorted LED by comparing the OUTn voltage to the LSD detection threshold voltage level set by LSDVLT in the control data latch (see Table 4 and Table 7). If the OUTn voltage is higher than the programmed voltage, the corresponding output LSD bit is set to '1' to indicate a shorted LED. Otherwise, the LSD bit is set to '0'. LSD data are only valid for outputs that are programmed to be enabled. LSD data for outputs that are programmed to be disabled are always '0' (see Table 11), except when IDM is enabled. When the device resumes operation from the power-save mode, LSD cannot be executed before the propagation delay (tD4) has elapsed because LSD does not work during power-save mode. INVISIBLE DETECTION MODE (IDM) Invisible detection mode (IDM) can detect LOD and LSD even when the output on/off data are set to the off state. When the IDMCUR bits in the control data latch are set to any value except '00', all outputs start sinking the current set by the IDMCUR bits at the falling edge of BLANK and stop sinking the current at the rising edge of BLANK, or the time set by IDMTIM has elapsed. When OUTn stops, the selected SID data by SIDLD bits are latched into the SID holder. When the IDMCUR bits in the control data latch are set to '00', IDM is disabled.

Output leakage detection (OLD) detects a fault caused by a short with high resistance from OUTn to GND by comparing the OUTn voltage to the LSD detection threshold voltage when the output on/off data are set to the off state. OLD can also detect a short between adjacent pins. A very small current is sourced from the turned-off OUTn to detect leaking when the SIDLD bits are '11' and BLANK is low. OLD operation is disabled when the SIDLD bits are set to any value except '11', and then the current source is stopped. If the OUTn voltage is lower than the programmed LSD threshold voltage, the corresponding OLD bit is set to '1' to indicate a leaking LED. Otherwise, the OLD bit is set to '0'. The OLD result is valid for disabled outputs only. The OLD data are latched into the SID holder when BLANK goes high. The OLD bits of the enabled outputs are always '0'. When the device resumes operation from power-save mode, OLD cannot be executed until after the propagation delay (tD4) has elapsed because OLD does not work during power-save mode. STATUS INFORMATION DATA (SID) The status information data (SID) contains the status of the LED open detection (LOD), LED short detection (LSD), output leakage detection (OLD), pre-thermal warning (PTW), thermal error flag (TEF), and IREF short flag (ISF), depending on the SIDLD bits in the control data latch. When the MSB of the common shift register is set to '0', the selected SID overwrite the lower 16 bits in the common shift register at the rising edge of LAT after the data in the common shift register are copied to the output on/off data latch. If the MSB of the common shift register is '1', the data in the common shift register do not change. After being copied into the common shift register, new SID data are not available until new data are written into the common shift register. If new data are not written, the LAT signal is ignored. To recheck SID without changing the on/off control data, reprogram the common shift register with the same data currently programmed into the on/off data latch. When LAT goes high, the output on/off data do not change, but new SID data are loaded into the common shift register. LOD, LSD, OLD, PTW, TEF, and ISF are shifted out of SOUT with each rising edge of SCLK. The SID reading must be delayed for a duration of tD4 or more after the device resumes operation from the power-save mode because SID does not indicate correct data during the power-save mode. The SID load configuration and SID read timing are shown in Figure 29 and Figure 30, respectively.

Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TLC5929 29 TLC5929 SBVS159 – APRIL 2011 www.ti.com PRE-THERMAL WARNING (PTW) The PTW function indicates that the device junction temperature is high. The PTW is set and all LSD data bits are set to '1' while the device junction temperature exceeds the temperature threshold (TPTW = +138°C, typ); however, the outputs are not forced off. When the PTW indicates a high temperature, the device temperature should be reduced by lowering the power dissipated in the driver to avoid a forced shutdown by the thermal shutdown circuit. This reduction can be accomplished by lowering the values of the BC data or the LED supply voltage. The PTW remains '1' until the next rising edge on LAT, even if the temperature drops below TPTW. Figure 31 shows a timing diagram and Table 13 shows the truth table for PTW. CURRENT REFERENCE (IREF PIN) SHORT FLAG (ISF) The ISF function indicates that the IREF pin is shorted with low impedance to GND. When ISF is set, all OLD data bits are set to '1'. Then all outputs (OUTn) are forced off and remain off until the short is removed. Table 13 shows the truth table for ISF. NOISE REDUCTION Large surge currents may flow through the device and the board on which the device is mounted if all 16 outputs turn on simultaneously when BLANK goes low or on/off data change at the LAT rising edge with BLANK low. These large current surges could introduce detrimental noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) into other circuits. The TLC5929 turns the outputs on with a 2-ns series delay for each output in order to provide a circuit soft-start feature. 30 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Link(s): TLC5929 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 27-Jun-2011 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Drawing Pins Package Qty Eco Plan (2) Lead/ Ball Finish MSL Peak Temp (3) TLC5929DBQ ACTIVE SSOP/QSOP DBQ 24 50 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR TLC5929DBQR ACTIVE SSOP/QSOP DBQ 24 2500 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) CU NIPDAU Level-2-260C-1 YEAR Samples (Requires Login) (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
