SLDS157E – FEBRUARY 2008 – REVISED DECEMBER 2014
5 Description (continued)
The individual PWM controller allows each 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%. The group
PWM controller dims or blinks all LEDs with the same value.
Each LED output can be off, on (no PWM control), or set at its individual PWM controller value at both individual
and group PWM controller values.
The TLC59116 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 TLC59116 device outputs.
Software programmable LED Group and three Sub Call I2C-bus addresses allow all or defined groups of
TLC59116 devices to respond to a common I2C-bus address, allowing 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 TLC59116 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.

Minimum SCL clock frequency is limited by the bus time-out feature, which resets the serial bus interface if either SDA or SCL is held
low for a minimum of 25 ms. Disable bus time-out feature for dc operation.
tVD;ACK = time for ACK 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 the SCL 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.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TLC59116 is an I2C bus controlled 16-channel LED driver that is optimized for red/green/blue/amber (RGBA)
color mixing and backlight application. 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%. The
individual PWM controller allows each 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%. The group PWM
controller dims or blinks all LEDs with the same value.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Open-Circuit Detection
The TLC59116 LED open-circuit detection compares the effective current level IOUT with the open load detection
threshold current IOUT,Th. If IOUT is below the threshold IOUT,Th the TLC59116 detects an open load condition. This
error status can be read out as an error flag through the registers EFLAG1 and EFLAG2.
For open-circuit error detection, a channel must be on and the PWM must be off.

9.3.2 Overtemperature Detection and Shutdown
The TLC59116 LED is equipped with a global overtemperature sensor and 16 individual channel-selective
overtemperature sensors.
• When the global sensor reaches the trip temperature, all output channels are shut down, 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 registers EFLAG1 and EFLAG2.
• 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
registers EFLAG1 and EFLAG2.
For channel-specific overtemperature error detection, a channel must be on.
The error flags of open-circuit and overtemperature are ORed to set the EFLAG1 and EFLAG2 registers.
The error status code due to overtemperature is reset when the host writes 1 to bit 7 of the MODE2 register. The
host must write 0 to bit 7 of the MODE2 register to enable the overtemperature error flag.

The global shutdown threshold temperature is approximately 170°C.
9.3.3 Power-On Reset (POR)
When power is applied to VCC, an internal power-on reset holds the TLC59116 in a reset condition until VCC
reaches VPOR. At this point, the reset condition is released and the TLC59116 registers, and I2C bus state
machine are initialized to their default states (all zeroes), causing all the channels to be deselected. Thereafter,
VCC must be lowered below 0.2 V to reset the device.
9.3.4 External Reset
A reset can be accomplished by holding the RESET pin low for a minimum of tW. The TLC59116 registers and
I2C state machine are held in their default states until the RESET input is again high.
This input requires a pullup resistor to VCC if no active connection is used.
9.3.5 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 I2C bus command.
The SWRST Call function is defined as the following:
1. A Start command is sent by the I2C bus master.
2. The reserved SWRST I2C bus address 1101 011 with the R/W bit set to 0 (write) is sent by the I2C bus

master.
3. The TLC59116 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.
4. Once the SWRST Call address has been sent and acknowledged, the master sends two bytes with two
specific values (SWRST data byte 1 and byte 2):
(a) Byte1 = A5h: the TLC59116 acknowledges this value only. If byte 1 is not equal to A5h, the TLC59116
does not acknowledge it.
(b) Byte 2 = 5Ah: the TLC59116 acknowledges this value only. If byte 2 is not equal to 5Ah, the TLC59116
does not acknowledge it.
If more than two bytes of data are sent, the TLC59116 does not acknowledge any more.
5. Once the correct two 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 TLC59116 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 may interpret a non-acknowledge from the TLC59116 (at any time) as a SWRST Call Abort.
The TLC59116 does not initiate a reset of its registers. This happens only when the format of the Start Call
sequence is not correct.
9.3.6 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 the individual
brightness for each LED.

On top of this signal, one of the following signals can be superimposed (this signal can be applied to the four
LED outputs):
• A lower 190-Hz fixed-frequency signal with programmable duty cycle (8 bits, 256 steps) provides a global
brightness control.
• A programmable frequency signal from 24 Hz to 1/10.73 s (8 bits, 256 steps) provides a global blinking
control.

GRPPWM register

Default value
When the 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. The value in GRPFREQ is then a Don't
care.
General brightness for the 16 outputs is controlled through 256 linear steps from 00h (0% duty cycle = LED
output off) to FFh (99.6% duty cycle = maximum brightness). This is applicable to LED outputs programmed with
LDRx = 11 (LEDOUT0, LEDOUT1, LEDOUT2 and LEDOUT3 registers).
When DMBLNK bit is programmed with logic 1, the GRPPWM and GRPFREQ registers define a global blinking
pattern, where GRPFREQ defines the blinking period (from 24 Hz to 10.73 s) and GRPPWM defines the duty
cycle (ON/OFF ratio in %).
Duty cycle = GDC0[7:0] / 256

Once subaddresses have been programmed to valid values, the SUBx bits (MODE1 register) must be set to 1 to
allows the device to acknowledge these addresses.
Only the 7 MSBs representing the I2C bus subaddress are valid. The LSB in SUBADRx register is a read-only bit
(0).
When SUBx is set to 1, the corresponding I2C bus subaddress can be used during either an I2C bus read or write
sequence.

Default value
The LED All Call I2C bus address allows all the TLC59116 devices in the bus to be programmed at the same
time (ALLCALL bit in register MODE1 must be equal to 1, which is the 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 seven 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, the device does not acknowledge the address programmed in register ALLCALLADR.

Current multiplier
R = read, W = write
Default value
IREF determines the voltage gain (VG), which affects the voltage at the REXT terminal and indirectly the
reference current (Iref) flowing through the external resistor at terminal REXT. Bit 0 is the Current Multiplier (CM)
bit, which determines the ratio IOUT,target/Iref. Each combination of VG and CM sets a Current Gain (CG).
• VG: the relationship between {HC,CC[0:5]} and the voltage gain is calculated as shown:
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 to 127/256, linearly divided into 64 steps
High-voltage subband (HC = 1): VG = 1/2 to 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:
VREXT = 1.26 V × VG
Iref = VREXT/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), divided into 256 steps.
Examples
• IREF Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} = {1,1,111111}
VG = 127/128 = 0.992 and CG = VG × 30 = VG = 0.992
• IREF Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} = {1,1,000000}
VG = (1 + 1) × (1 + 0/64)/4 = 1/2 = 0.5, and CG = 0.5
• IREF Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} = {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 8.

9.5.11 Control Register
Following the successful acknowledgment of the slave address, LED All Call address or LED Sub Call address,
the bus master sends a byte to the TLC59116, which is stored in the Control register. The lowest five bits are
used as a pointer to determine which register is accessed (D[4:0]). The highest three bits are used as autoincrement flag and auto-increment options (AI[2:0]).

When the auto-increment flag is set (AI2 = logic 1), the five low order bits of the Control register are automatically

NOTE
Other combinations are not shown in Table 14. (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 a 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 D[4:0] are affected by the AI[2:0] bits.
When the 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 Table 3).
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 Table 14 for rollover values. For
example, if the Control register = 1111 0100 (F4h), then the register addressing sequence will be (in hex):

10 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.
10.1 Application Information
10.1.1 Device Address
Following a Start condition, the bus master must output the address of the slave it is accessing.
10.1.2 Regular I2C Bus Slave Address
The I2C bus slave address of the TLC59116 is shown in Figure 10. 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 purposes, a set of sector information data should be stored.

10.1.3 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. TLC59116 sends an ACK when D0h (R/W = 0) or D1h
(R/W = 1) is sent by the master.
See LED All Call I2C Bus Address Register (ALLCALLADR) for more detail.
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 TLC59116
devices on the I2C bus will acknowledge the address if it is sent by the I2C bus master.
10.1.4 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

10.1.6 Characteristics of the I2C Bus
The I2C bus is for two-way two-line communication between different devices 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 via a
pullup resistor when connected to the output stages of a device. Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus
is not busy.
10.1.6.1 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 12).

10.1.6.3 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 that 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.

Typical Application (continued)
10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
10.2.2.1 Adjusting Output Current
TLC59116 scales up the reference current (Iref) set by the external resistor (Rext) to sink the output current (Iout) at
each output port. Table 12 shows the Configuration Code and discusses bits CM, HC, and CC[5:0]. The following
formulas can be used to calculate the target output current IOUT,target in the saturation region:
VREXT = 1.26 V × VG
Iref = VREXT/Rext, if another end of the external resistor Rext is connected to ground
IOUT,target = Iref × 15 × 3CM – 1
(3)
(4)
(5)
Where Rext is the resistance of the external resistor connected to the REXT terminal, and VREXT is the voltage of
REXT, which is controlled by the programmable voltage gain (VG), which is defined by the Configuration Code.
The Current Multiplier bit (CM) sets the ratio IOUT,target/Iref to 15 or 5 (sets the exponent "CM – 1" to either 0 or
–1). 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:
VREXT = 1.26 V × 127/128 = 1.25 V
IOUT,target = (1.25 V/Rext) × 15
(6)
(7)
Therefore, the default current is approximately 20mA at 931 ohms.. The default relationship after power-on
between IOUT,target and Rext is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 2 shows the output voltage versus the output current with several different resistor values on REXT. This
shows the minimum voltage required at the device to have full VF across the LED. The VLED voltage must be
higher than the VF plus the VOL of the driver. If the VLED is too high, more power will be dissipated in the driver.
If this is the case, a resistor can be inserted in series with the LED to dissipate the excess power and reduce the
thermal conditions on the driver.
If a single driver is used with LEDs that have different VF values, resistors can also be used in series with the
LED to remove the excess power from the driver. In cases where not all outputs are being used, the unused
outputs can be left floating without issue.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
TLC59116 is designed to operate from a VCC range of 3 V to 5.5 V.
12 Layout
12.1 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.

12.3 Thermal Considerations
The maximum IC junction temperature should be restricted to 150°C under normal operating conditions. To
calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max) for a given ambient temperature, use the following
equation as a guideline:
PD(max) =
TJ(max) - TA
QJA
where
•
•
•
•
PD(max) = maximum allowable power dissipation
TJ(max) = maximum allowable junction temperature (150°C for the TLC59116)
TA = ambient temperature of the device
ΘJA = junction to air thermal impedance.

See Thermal Information section. This parameter is highly dependent upon board layout.
Power dissipation in the device is determined by the LED current and the voltage at the OUTx pins. For example,
if the LED current is 50 mA continuous through each channel and the output voltage is 1 V on each channel,
then the total power dissipation is 50 mA x 1 V x 16 ch = 0.8 W
