SLVS765B – OCTOBER 2008 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2015
TLC5925 Low-Power 16-Channel Constant-Current LED Sink Driver
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The TLC5925 is designed for LED displays and LED
lighting applications. The TLC5925 contains a 16-bit
shift register and data latches, which convert serial
input data into parallel output format. At the TLC5925
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 (such as, LED panels),
the TLC5925 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. TLC5925 is designed for up to
17 V at the output port. The high clock frequency, 30
MHz, also satisfies the system requirements of highvolume data transmission.

16 Constant-Current Output Channels
Constant Output Current Invariant to Load Voltage
Change
Excellent Output Current Accuracy:
– Between Channels: < ±4% (Max)
– Between ICs: < ±6% (Max)
Constant Output Current Range:
3 mA to 45 mA
Output Current Adjusted By External Resistor
Fast Response of Output Current, OE (Min):
100 ns
30-MHz Clock Frequency
Schmitt-Trigger Inputs
3.3-V to 5-V Supply Voltage
Thermal Shutdown for Overtemperature
Protection
ESD Performance: 1-kV HBM
The serial data is transferred into TLC5925 via SDI,
shifted in the shift register, and transferred out via
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 TLC5925 is a 16-channel LED driver designed for LED displays and LED lighting applications. The TLC5925
contains a 16-bit shift register and data latches, which convert serial input data into parallel output format. At the
TLC5925 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
TLC5925 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, TLC5925 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%.

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
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.

Typical Application (continued)
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
TLC5925 sets IOUT based on the external resistor Rext. Users can follow the below formulas to calculate the
target output current IOUT,target in the saturation region:
IOUT,target = (1.21 V / Rext) × 18, where Rext is the external resistance connected between R-EXT and GND.
Therefore, the default current is approximately 26 mA at 840 Ω and 13 mA at 1680 Ω.
9.2.3 Application Curve
IOUT – mA
The default relationship after power on between IOUT,target and Rext is shown in Figure 10.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The TLC5925 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.
