3 Description
The TLC59116F is an I2C-bus controlled 16-channel
LED driver optimized for red/green/blue/amber
(RGBA) color mixing applications. Each LED output
has its own 8-bit resolution (256 steps) fixed
frequency individual PWM controller that operates at
97 kHz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0% to
99.6% to allow the LED to be set to a specific
brightness value. An additional 8-bit resolution (256
steps) group PWM controller has both a fixed
frequency of 190 Hz and an adjustable frequency
between 24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds with a
duty cycle that is adjustable from 0% to 99.6% that is
used to either dim or blink all LEDs with the same
value.

tVD;ACK = time for acknowledgment signal from SCL low to SDA (out) low.
tVD;DAT = minimum time for SDA data out to be valid following SCL low.
A master device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (refer to the VIL of the SCL signal) in order to
bridge the undefined region of SCL's falling edge.
The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time (tf) for the SDA output stage is specified
at 250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected between the SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines
without exceeding the maximum specified tf.
Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
Input filters on the SDA and SCL inputs suppress noise spikes less than 50 ns.
Resetting the device while actively communicating on the bus may cause glitches or errant STOP conditions.
Upon reset, the full delay will be the sum of tRESET and the RC time constant of the SDA bus.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TLC59116F is an I2C-bus controlled 16-channel LED driver optimized for red/green/blue/amber (RGBA)
color mixing applications. Each LED output has its own 8-bit resolution (256 steps) fixed frequency individual
PWM controller that operates at 97 kHz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0% to 99.6% to allow the LED to
be set to a specific brightness value. An additional 8-bit resolution (256 steps) group PWM controller has both a
fixed frequency of 190 Hz and an adjustable frequency between 24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds with a duty
cycle that is adjustable from 0% to 99.6% that is used to either dim or blink all LEDs with the same value.
Each LED output can be off, on (no PWM control), set at its individual PWM controller value or at both individual
and group PWM controller values. The TLC59116F operates with a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and the
outputs are 17-V tolerant. LEDs can be directly connected to the TLC59116F device outputs.
Software programmable LED group and three sub call I2C bus addresses allow all or defined groups of
TLC59116F devices to respond to a common I2C bus address, which allows, for example, all the same color
LEDs to be turned on or off at the same time or marquee chasing effect, thus minimizing I2C bus commands.
Four hardware address pins allow up to 14 devices on the same bus.
The software reset (SWRST) call allows the master to perform a reset of the TLC59116F through the I2C bus,
identical to the power-on reset (POR) that initializes the registers to their default state causing the outputs to be
set high (LED off). This allows an easy and quick way to reconfigure all device registers to the same condition.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Power-On Reset (POR)
When power is applied to VCC, an internal power-on reset holds the TLC59116F in a reset condition until VCC
reaches VPOR. At this point, the reset condition is released and the TLC59116F registers and I2C bus state
machine are initialized to their default states causing all the channels to be deselected. Thereafter, VCC must be
lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device.
8.3.2 External Reset
A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin low for a minimum of tW. The TLC59116F registers and
I2C state machine will be held in their default state until the RESET input is once again high.
This input requires a pullup resistor to VCC if no active connection is used.
8.3.3 Software Reset
The software reset call (SWRST Call) allows all the devices in the I2C bus to be reset to the power-up state value
through a specific formatted I2C bus command. To be performed correctly, it implies that the I2C bus is functional
and that there is no device hanging the bus.
The SWRST Call function is defined as the following:
• A START command is sent by the I2C bus master.
• The reserved SWRST I2C bus address '1101 011' with the R/W bit set to '0' (write) is sent by the I2C bus
master.
• The TLC59116F device(s) acknowledge(s) after seeing the SWRST Call address '1101 0110' (D6h) only. If
the R/W bit is set to '1' (read), no acknowledge is returned to the I2C bus master.
• Once the SWRST Call address has been sent and acknowledged, the master sends 2 bytes with 2 specific
values (SWRST data byte 1 and byte 2):
a. Byte1 = A5h: the TLC59116F acknowledges this value only. If byte 1 is not equal to A5h, the TLC59116F
does not acknowledge it.
b. Byte 2 = 5Ah: the TLC59116F acknowledges this value only. If byte 2 is not equal to 5Ah, the TLC59116F
does not acknowledge it.
If more than 2 bytes of data are sent, the TLC59116F does not acknowledge any more.
• Once the right 2 bytes (SWRST data byte 1 and byte 2 only) have been sent and correctly acknowledged, the
master sends a STOP command to end the SWRST Call: the TLC59116F then resets to the default value
(power-up value) and is ready to be addressed again within the specified bus free time (tBUF).
The I2C bus master must interpret a non-acknowledge from the TLC59116F (at any time) as a SWRST Call
Abort. The TLC59116F does not initiate a reset of its registers. This happens only when the format of the START
Call sequence is not correct.
8.3.4 Individual Brightness Control With Group Dimming/Blinking
A 97-kHz fixed frequency signal with programmable duty cycle (8 bits, 256 steps) is used to control individually
the brightness for each LED.
On top of this signal, one of the following signals can be superimposed (this signal can be applied to the 4 LED
outputs):
• A lower 190-Hz fixed frequency signal with programmable duty cycle (8 bits, 256 steps) is used to provide a
global brightness control.
• A programmable frequency signal from 24 Hz to 1/10.73 s (8 bits, 256 steps) is used to provide a global
blinking control.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Active
Active mode occurs when one or more of the output channels is enabled.
8.4.2 Standby
Standby mode occurs when all output channels are disabled. Standby mode may be entered either through I2C
command or by pulling the RESET pin low.
8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Device Address
Following a START condition, the bus master outputs the address of the slave it is accessing.
8.5.2 Regular I2C Bus Slave Address
The I2C bus slave address of the TLC59116F is shown in Figure 8. To conserve power, no internal pullup
resistors are incorporated on the hardware-selectable address pins, and they must be pulled high or low.
For buffer management purpose, a set of sector information data should be stored in a certain buffer.

8.5.3 LED All-Call I2C Bus Address
• Default power-up value (ALLCALLADR register): D0h or 1101 000
• Programmable through I2C bus (volatile programming)
• At power-up, LED All Call I2C bus address is enabled. TLC59116F sends an ACK when D0h (R/W = 0) or
D1h (R/W = 1) is sent by the master.
See Register Descriptions for more details.
NOTE
The default LED all-call I2C bus address (D0h or 1101 000) must not be used as a regular
I2C bus slave address since this address is enabled at power-up. All the TLC59116Fs on
the I2C bus will acknowledge the address if sent by the I2C bus master.
8.5.4 LED Sub-Call I2C Bus Address
• Three different I2C bus addresses can be used.
• Default power-up values:
– SUBADR1 register: D2h or 1101 001
– SUBADR2 register: D4h or 1101 010
– SUBADR3 register: D8h or 1101 100
• Programmable through I2C bus (volatile programming)
• At power-up, sub-call I2C bus address is disabled. TLC59116F does not send an ACK when D2h (R/W = 0) or
D3h (R/W = 1) or D4h (R/W = 0) or D5h (R/W = 1) or D8h (R/W = 0) or D9h (R/W = 1) is sent by the master.
See Register Descriptions for more details.
NOTE
The default LED Sub Call I2C bus address may be used as a regular I2C bus slave
address as long as the Sub Call addresses are disabled in MODE1 (default).
8.5.5 Software Reset I2C Bus Address
The address shown in Figure 9 is used when a reset of the TLC59116F needs to be performed by the master.
The Software Reset address (SWRST Call) must be used with R/W = 0. If R/W = 1, the TLC59116F does not
acknowledge the SWRST. See Register Descriptions for more details.

8.5.6 Characteristics of the I2C Bus
The I2C bus is for two-way, two-line communication between different ICs or modules. The two lines are a serial
data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). Both lines must be connected to a positive supply through a pullup
resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not
busy.
8.5.6.1 Bit Transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain stable during the high
period of the clock pulse as changes in the data line at this time will be interpreted as control signals (see
Figure 10).

SCL

8.5.6.2 START and STOP Conditions
Both data and clock lines remain high when the bus is not busy. A high-to-low transition of the data line while the
clock is high is defined as the START condition (S). A low-to-high transition of the data line while the clock is
high is defined as the STOP condition (P) (see Figure 11).

8.5.6.3 System Configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter; a device receiving is the receiver. The device that controls the
message is the master and the devices controlled by the master are the slaves (see Figure 12).

8.5.6.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and the STOP conditions from transmitter to receiver
is not limited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one acknowledge bit. The acknowledge bit is a high level put
on the bus by the transmitter, whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge related clock pulse.
A slave receiver which is addressed must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. Also a
master must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte that has been clocked out of the slave
transmitter. The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse, so
that the SDA line is stable low during the high period of the acknowledge related clock pulse; set-up time and
hold time must be taken into account.
A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an acknowledge on the last
byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the transmitter must leave the data line high to enable
the master to generate a STOP condition.

8.6.1 Control Register
Following the successful acknowledgment of the slave address, LED All Call address or LED Sub Call address,
the bus master will send a byte to the TLC59116F, which will be stored in the Control register. The lowest 5 bits
are used as a pointer to determine which register will be accessed (D[4:0]). The highest three bits are used as
Auto-Increment flag and Auto-Increment options (AI[2:0]).

Other combinations not shown in Table 1 (AI[2:0] = 001, 010 and 011) are reserved and must not be
used for proper device operation.
AI[2:0] = 000 is used when the same register must be accessed several times during a single I2C bus
communication (for example, changing the brightness of a single LED). Data is overwritten each time the register
is accessed during a write operation.
AI[2:0] = 100 is used when all the registers must be sequentially accessed (for example, power-up
programming).
AI[2:0] = 101 is used when the four LED drivers must be individually programmed with different values during the
same I2C bus communication (for example, changing color setting to another color setting).
AI[2:0] = 110 is used when the LED drivers must be globally programmed with different settings during the same
I2C bus communication (for example, global brightness or blinking change).
AI[2:0] = 111 is used when individually and global changes must be performed during the same I2C bus
communication (for example, changing color and global brightness at the same time).
Only the five least-significant bits (LSBs) D[4:0] are affected by the AI[2:0] bits.
When Control register is written, the register entry point determined by D[4:0] is the first register that will be
addressed (read or write operation), and can be anywhere between 0 0000 and 1 1011 (as defined in ). When
AI[2] = 1, the Auto-Increment flag is set and the rollover value at which the point where the register increment
stops and goes to the next one is determined by AI[2:0]. See for rollover values. For example, if the Control
register = 1111 0100 (F4h), then the register addressing sequence will be (in hex):
14 → … → 1B → 00 → … → 13
as long as the master keeps sending or reading data.

not guaranteed if PWMx, GRPPWM, or GRPFREQ registers are accessed within the 500-µs window.
No LED control including ON/OFF, blinking and dimming is possible when oscillator is off. Writing to the register during SLEEP mode
does not affect LED condition. It is needed to set the SLEEP bit to logic 0 when LED condition is required to change.

Default value
When DMBLNK bit (MODE2 register) is programmed with logic 0, a 190-Hz fixed frequency signal is
superimposed with the 97-kHz individual brightness control signal. GRPPWM is then used as a global brightness
control allowing the LED outputs to be dimmed with the same value.
NOTE
The value in GRPFREQ has to be programmed to 00h when DMBLNK = 0.
General brightness for the 16 outputs is controlled through 256 linear steps from 00h (0% duty cycle = LED

= 11 (LEDOUT0 to LEDOUT3 registers).
When DMBLNK bit is programmed with logic 1, GRPPWM and GRPFREQ registers define a global blinking
pattern, where GRPFREQ contains the blinking period (from 24 Hz to 10.73 s) and GRPPWM the duty cycle
(ON/OFF ratio in percentages).

Default value
Sub-addresses are programmable through the I2C bus. Default power-up values are D2h, D4h, D8h and the
device(s) will not acknowledge these addresses right after power-up (the corresponding SUBx bit in MODE1
register is equal to 0).
Once sub-addresses have been programmed to their right values, SUBx bits need to be set to 1 in order to have
the device acknowledging these addresses (MODE1 register).
Only the 7 MSBs representing the I2C bus sub-address are valid. The LSB in SUBADRx register is a read-only
bit (0).
When SUBx is set to 1, the corresponding I2C bus sub-address can be used during either an I2C-bus read or
write sequence.

The LED All Call I2C bus address allows all the TLC59116Fs in the bus to be programmed at the same time
(ALLCALL bit I2C-bus read or write sequence in register MODE1 must be equal to 1 (power-up default state)).
This address is programmable through the I2C bus and can be used during either an I2C-bus read or write
sequence. The register address can also be programmed as a Sub Call.
Only the 7 MSBs representing the All Call I2C bus address are valid. The LSB in ALLCALLADR register is a
read-only bit (0).
If ALLCALL bit = 0 (MODE1), the device does not acknowledge the address programmed in register
ALLCALLADR.

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. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
This section highlights some of the design considerations for implementing this device in various applications.
9.1.1 Setting LED Current
The LED current is primarily dependent on the supply voltage, the forward voltage of the LED, and the series
resistor (RSET). In many applications the supply voltage and LED forward voltage cannot be adjusted. Hence,
RSET is utilized to adjust the LED current. This calculation is discussed in detail in the typical application example.
9.1.2 PWM Brightness Dimming
The perceived brightness of the LEDs can be adjusted by use of PWM dimming. For example, an LED driven at
50% duty cycle will appear less bright than it would at 100% duty cycle. The TLC59116F offers duty cycle control
for each individual channel and also offers group duty cycle control. Refer to the Register Map for details
regarding programmable duty cycle.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
In the LED current path, there are three voltage drops that must be considered:
• Drop across the series resistor (VRSET)
• Drop across the LED (VF)
• Drop across the open-drain output channel (VO)
The drop across the LED is defined above as VF = 3V. The drop across the open-drain output is calculated as
RON x ILED (1.5 Ω × 0.006 A = 0.009 V). The remaining voltage must be across the series resistor:
5 V = 3 V + 0.009 V + VRSET
• VRSET = 1.991 V
(4)
After calculating VRSET, we can calculate RSET:
VRSET = ILED × RSET
• 1.991V = 0.006 mA × RSET
• RSET = 332 Ω

10 Power Supply Recommendations
TLC59116F is designed to operate from a VCC range of 3 V to 5.5 V. The system will also require a power
supply for the LEDs. The supply voltage for the LEDs must be greater than the forward voltage of the LED plus
the VOL of the channel.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
The I2C signals (SDA / SCL) should be kept away from potential noise sources.
The traces carrying power through the LEDS should be wide enough to the handle necessary current.
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. For the RHB package, the thermal pad should be
connected to ground to help dissipate heat.
