TLC59025 Low-Power 16-Channel Constant-Current LED Sink Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TLC59025 device is designed for LED displays
and LED lighting applications. The TLC59025
contains a 16-bit shift register and data latches, which
convert serial input data into parallel output format. At
the TLC59025 output stage, 16 regulated-current
ports provide uniform and constant current for driving
LEDs within a wide range of VF variations. Used in
system design for LED display applications (for
example, LED panels), the TLC59025 provides great
flexibility and device performance. Users can adjust
the output current from 3 mA to 45 mA through an
external resistor, Rext, which gives flexibility in
controlling the light intensity of LEDs. TLC59025 is
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 serial data is transferred into TLC59025 through
SDI, shifted in the shift register, and transferred out
through SDO. LE can latch the serial data in the shift
register to the output latch. OE enables the output
drivers to sink current.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TLC59025 is a 16-channel LED driver designed for LED displays and LED lighting applications. The
TLC59025 contains a 16-bit shift register and data latches, which convert serial input data into parallel output
format. At the TLC59025 output stage, 16 regulated-current ports provide uniform and constant current for
driving LEDs within a wide range of VF variations. Used in system design for LED display applications (for
example, LED panels), the TLC59025 provides great flexibility and device performance. Users can adjust the
output current from 3 mA to 45 mA through an external resistor, REXT, which gives flexibility in controlling the
light intensity of LEDs. TLC59025 is 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.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Constant Current
In LED display applications, TLC59025 provides nearly no current variations from channel to channel and from
IC to IC. While IOUT ≤ 45 mA, the maximum current skew between channels is less than ±5% and between ICs is
less than ±6%.
Note
When the TLC59025 is used in very low current applications, reduced current accuracy can be
expected. For example, current accuracy is estimated to degrade to as much as ±10% when Iout =
1.7 mA.

9 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI
does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining
suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 Turning on the LEDs
To turn on an LED connected to one of the outputs of the device, the output must be pulled low. To do this, the
SDI signal must let the device know which outputs should be activated. Using the rising edge of CLK, the logic
level of the SDI signal latches the desired state of each output into the shift register. Once this is complete, the
LE signal must be toggled from low to high then back to low. Once /OE is pulled down, the corresponding
outputs will be pulled low and the LEDs will be turned on. The below diagram shows outputs 0, 3, 4, 5, 10, 13,
and 15 being activated.

9.2 Typical Application
This application shows how to calculate the output current for OUT0 through OUT15.
Figure 9-2. Typical Application Diagram
9.2.1 Design Requirements
For the following design procedure, the input voltage (VDD) is between 3 V and 5.5 V.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Adjusting Output Current
TLC59025 sets IOUT based on the external resistor REXT. Users can follow the below formula to calculate the
target output current IOUT,target in the saturation region:
IOUT,target = (1.21 V / REXT) × 15.5
Where REXT is the external resistance connected between R-EXT and GND. Using this equation, the output
current is calculated to be approximately 26 mA at 720 Ω and 13 mA at 1440 Ω.
9.2.3 Application Curve
The default relationship after power on between IOUT,target and REXT is shown in Figure 9-3.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The TLC59025 is designed to operate with a VDD range between 3 V and 5.5 V.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The SDI, CLK, SDO, LE, and OE signals should all be kept from potential noise sources.
All traces carrying power through the LEDs should be wide enough to handle necessary currents.
All LED current passes through the device and into the ground node. There must be a strong connection
between the device ground and the circuit board ground.

12.1 Support Resources
TI E2E™ support forums are an engineer's go-to source for fast, verified answers and design help — straight
from the experts. Search existing answers or ask your own question to get the quick design help you need.
Linked content is provided "AS IS" by the respective contributors. They do not constitute TI specifications and do

12.3 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
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.
