TLC592x 16-Channel Constant-Current LED Sink Drivers
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
•
The TLC592x is designed for LED displays and LED
lighting applications with open-load, shorted-load, and
over temperature detection, and constant-current
control. The TLC592x contains a 16-bit shift register
and data latches, which convert serial input data into
parallel output format. At the TLC592x output stage,
16 regulated-current ports provide uniform and
constant current for driving LEDs within a wide range
of VF (forward voltage) variations. Used in systems
designed for LED display applications (for example,
LED panels), TLC592x provides great flexibility and
device performance. Users can adjust the output
current from 5 mA to 120 mA through an external
resistor, Rext, which gives flexibility in controlling the
light intensity of LEDs. The TLC592x 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.

9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The TLC592x is designed for LED displays and LED lighting applications with open-load, shorted-load, and
overtemperature detection, and constant-current control. The TLC592x contains a 16-bit shift register and data
latches, which convert serial input data into parallel output format. At the TLC592x output stage, 16 regulatedcurrent ports provide uniform and constant current for driving LEDs within a wide range of VF (Forward Voltage)
variations. Used in systems designed for LED display applications (e.g., LED panels), TLC592x provides great
flexibility and device performance. Users can adjust the output current from 5 mA to 120 mA through an external
resistor, Rext, which gives flexibility in controlling the light intensity of LEDs. TLC592x 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.

9.3 Feature Description
9.3.1 Open-Circuit Detection Principle
The LED Open-Circuit Detection compares the effective current level IOUT with the open load detection threshold
current IOUT,Th. If IOUT is below the IOUT,Th threshold, the TLC592x detects an open-load condition. This error
status can be read as an error status code in the Special mode. For open-circuit error detection, a channel must
be on.

9.3.2 Short-Circuit Detection Principle (TLC5927 Only)
The LED short-circuit detection compares the effective voltage level VOUT with the shorted-load detection
threshold voltages VOUT,TTh and VOUT,RTh. If VOUT is above the VOUT,TTh threshold, the TLC5927 detects a shortedload condition. If the VOUT is below VOUT,RTh threshold, no error is detected and the error bit is reset. This error
status can be read as an error status code in the Special mode. For short-circuit error detection, a channel must
be on.

9.3.3 Overtemperature Detection and Shutdown
The TLC592x is equipped with a global overtemperature sensor and 16 individual, channel-specific
overtemperature sensors.
• When the global sensor reaches the trip temperature, all output channels are shutdown, 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 the Special mode.
• 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 the
Special mode.
For channel-specific overtemperature error detection, a channel must be on.
The error status code is reset when the TLC592x returns to Normal mode.

9.4 Device Functional Modes
The TLC592x provides a Special Mode in which two functions are included, Error Detection and Current Gain
Control. In the TLC592x there are two operation modes and three phases: Normal Mode phase, Mode Switching
transition phase, and Special mode phase. The signal on the multiple-function pin OE(ED2) is monitored, and
when a one-clock-wide short pulse appears on OE(ED2), TLC592x enters the Mode Switching phase. At this
time, the voltage level on LE(ED1) determines the next mode into which the TLC592x switches.
In the Normal Mode phase, the serial data is transferred into TLC592x via SDI, shifted in the shift register, and
transferred out via SDO. LE(ED1) can latch the serial data in the shift register to the output latch. OE(ED2)
enables the output drivers to sink current.
In the Special Mode phase, the low-voltage-level signal OE(ED2) can enable output channels and detect the
status of the output current, to tell if the driving current level is enough or not. The detected error status is loaded
into the 16-bit shift register and shifted out via SDO, along with the CLK signal. The system controller can read
the error status to determine whether or not the LEDs are properly lit. In the Special Mode phase, TLC592x also
allows users to adjust the output current level by setting a runtime-programmable Configuration Code. The code
is sent into TLC592x via SDI. The positive pulse of LE(ED1) latches the code in the shift register into a built-in 8bit configuration latch, instead of the output latch. The code affects the voltage at R-EXT and controls the outputcurrent regulator. The output current can be adjusted finely by a gain ranging from 1/12 to 127/128 in 256 steps.
Therefore, the current skew between ICs can be compensated within less than 1%, and this feature is suitable
for white balancing in LED color-display panels.

In order to switch between its two modes, TLC592x monitors the signal OE(ED2). When a one-clock-wide pulse
of OE(ED2) appears, TLC592x enters the two-clock-period transition phase, the Mode Switching phase. After
power on, the default operation mode is the Normal Mode (see Figure 12).

Figure 12. Mode Switching
As shown in Figure 12, once a one-clock-wide short pulse (101) of OE(ED2) appears, TLC592x enters the Mode
Switching phase. At the fourth rising edge of CLK, if LE(ED1) is sampled as voltage high, TLC592x switches to
Special mode; otherwise, it switches to Normal mode. The signal LE(ED1) between the third and the fifth rising
edges of CLK cannot latch any data. Its level is used only to determine into which mode to switch. However, the
short pulse of OE(ED2) can still enable the output ports. During mode switching, the serial data can still be
transferred through SDI and shifted out from SDO.
NOTES:
1. The signal sequence for the mode switching may be used frequently to ensure that the TLC592x is in the
proper mode.
2. The 1 and 0 on the LE(ED1) signal are sampled at the rising edge of CLK. The X means its level does not
affect the result of mode switching mechanism.
3. After power on, the default operation mode is Normal mode.
9.4.2 Normal Mode Phase
Serial data is transferred into TLC592x through SDI, shifted in the Shift Register, and output through SDO.
LE(ED1) can latch the serial data in the Shift Register to the Output Latch. OE(ED2) enables the output drivers to
sink current. These functions differ only as described in Operation Mode Switching, in which case, a short pulse
triggers TLC592x to switch the operation mode. However, as long as LE(ED1) is high in the Mode Switching
phase, TLC592x remains in the Normal mode, as if no mode switching occurred.
9.4.3 Special Mode Phase
In the Special mode, as long as OE(ED2) is not low, the serial data is shifted to the Shift Register through SDI
and shifted out through SDO, as in the Normal mode. However, there are two differences between the Special
Mode and the Normal Mode, as shown in the following sections.

9.4.3.1 Reading Error Status Code in Special Mode
When OE(ED2) is pulled low while in Special mode, error detection and load error status codes are loaded into
the Shift Register, in addition to enabling output ports to sink current. Figure 13 shows the timing sequence for
error detection. The 0 and 1 signal levels are sampled at the rising edge of each CLK. At least three zeros must
be sampled at the voltage low signal OE(ED2). Immediately after the second 0 is sampled, the data input source
of the Shift Register changes to the 16-bit parallel Error Status Code register, instead of from the serial data on
SDI. Normally, the error status codes are generated at least 2 μs after the falling edge of OE(ED2). The
occurrence of the third or later 0 saves the detected error status codes into the Shift Register. Therefore, when
OE(ED2) is low, the serial data cannot be shifted into TLC592x through SDI. When OE(ED2) is pulled high, the
data input source of the Shift Register is changed back to SDI. At the same time, the output ports are disabled
and the error detection is completed. Then, the error status codes saved in the Shift Register can be shifted out
through SDO bit-by-bit along with CLK. Additionally, the new serial data can be shifted into TLC592x through
SDI.
While in Special mode, the TLC592x cannot simultaneously transfer serial data and detect LED load error status.

9.4.4 Writing Configuration Code in Special Mode
When in Special mode, the active high signal LE(ED1) latches the serial data in the Shift Register to the
Configuration Latch, instead of the Output Latch. The latched serial data is used as the Configuration Code.
The code is stored until power off or the Configuration Latch is rewritten. As shown in Figure 14, the timing for
writing the Configuration Code is the same as the timing in the Normal Mode to latching output channel data.
Both the Configuration Code and Error Status Code are transferred in the common 16-bit Shift Register. Users
must pay attention to the sequence of error detection and current adjustment to avoid the the Error Status Code
overwriting the Configuration Code.

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 Constant Current
In LED display applications, TLC592x provides nearly no current variations from channel to channel and from IC
to IC. While IOUT ≤ 50 mA, the maximum current skew between channels is less than ±6% and between ICs is
less than ±6%.
10.1.2 Adjusting Output Current
TLC592x scales up the reference current, Iref, set by the external resistor Rext to sink a current, Iout, at each
output port. Users can follow Equation 1, Equation 2, and Equation 3 to calculate the target output current
IOUT,target in the saturation region:
VR-EXT = 1.26 V × VG
Iref = VR-EXT/Rext, if another end of the external resistor Rext is connected to ground.
IOUT,target = Iref × 15 × 3CM – 1
(1)
(2)
(3)
Where Rext is the resistance of the external resistor connected to the R-EXT terminal, and VR-EXT is the voltage of
R-EXT, which is controlled by the programmable voltage gain (VG), which is defined by the Configuration Code.
The Current Multiplier (CM) determines that the ratio IOUT,target/Iref is 15 or 5. 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.
VR-EXT = 1.26 V × 127/128 = 1.25 V
IOUT,target = (1.25 V/Rext) × 15
(4)
(5)
Therefore, the default current is approximately 52 mA at 360 Ω and 26 mA at 720 Ω. The default relationship
after power on between IOUT,target and Rext is shown in Figure 15.

Bit 7 is first sent into TLC592x through SDI. Bits 1 to 7 {HC, CC[0:5]} determine the voltage gain (VG) that affects
the voltage at R-EXT and indirectly affects the reference current, Iref, flowing through the external resistor at REXT. Bit 0 is the Current Multiplier (CM) that determines the ratio IOUT,target/Iref. Each combination of VG and CM
gives a specific Current Gain (CG).
• VG: the relationship between {HC,CC[0:5]} and the voltage gain is calculated as shown in Equation 6 and
Equation 7:
VG = (1 + HC) × (1 + D/64) / 4
D = CC0 × 25 + CC1 × 24 + CC2 × 23 + CC3 × 22 + CC4 × 21 + CC5 × 20
•
•
(6)
(7)
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 subbands:
Low voltage subband (HC = 0): VG = 1/4 ~ 127/256, linearly divided into 64 steps
High voltage subband (HC = 1): VG = 1/2 ~ 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 Equation 8, Equation 9, Equation 10, and Equation 11.
VR-EXT = 1.26 V × VG
Iref = VR-EXT/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

Therefore, CG = (1/12) to (127/128) divided into 256 steps.
Examples
• Configuration Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} = {1,1,111111}
VG = 127/128 = 0.992 and CG = VG × 30 = VG = 0.992
• Configuration Code = {1,1,000000}
VG = (1 + 1) × (1 + 0/64)/4 = 1/2 = 0.5, and CG = 0.5
• Configuration Code = {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 16.

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
TJ = TA + θJA × PD_TOT
where
•
•
•
•
TJ is the junction temperature
TA is the ambient temperature
θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
PD_TOT is the total power dissipation in the IC
(12)
space
PD_TOT = PD_CS + IDD × VDD
where
•
•
•
PD_CS is the power dissipation in the LED current sinks
IDD is the IC supply current
VDD is the IC supply voltage
(13)
space
PD_CS = IO × VO × nCH
where
•
•
•
IO is the LED current
VO is the voltage at the output pin
nCH is the number of LED strings
(14)
space
VO = VLED – (nLED × VF)
where
•
•
•
VLED is the voltage applied to the LED string
nLED is the number of LEDs in the string
VF is the forward voltage of each LED
(15)
space
VO should not be too high as this will cause excess power dissipation inside the current sink. However, VO
should also not be loo low as this will not allow the full LED current (refer to the output voltage vs. output current
graph). With VLED = 12 V:
VO = 12 V – (3 × 3.5 V) = 1.5 V
PD_CS = 20 mA × 1.5 V × 16 = 0.48 W
(16)
(17)
Using PD_CS, calculate:
PD_TOT = PD_CS + IDD × VDD = 0.48 W + 0.017 A × 5 V = 0.565 W

Using PD_TOT, calculate:

TJ = TA + θJA × PD_TOT = 115°C + 40°C/W × 0.565 W = 137.6°C
(19)
This design example has demonstrated how to calculate power dissipation in the IC and ensure that the junction
temperature is kept below 150°C.
NOTE
This design example assumes that all channels have the same electrical parameters
(nLED, IO, VF, VLED). If the parameters are unique for each channel, then the power
dissipation must be calculated for each current sink separately. Then, each result must be
added together to calculate the total power dissipation in the current sinks.

11 Power Supply Recommendations
The device is designed to operate from a VDD supply between 3 V and 5.5 V. The LED supply voltage should be
determined by the number of LEDs in each string and the forward voltage of the LEDs. The maximum
recommended supply voltage on the output pins (OUT0-OUT15) is 17V.
12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
The traces that carry current from the LED cathodes to the OUTx pins must be wide enough to support the
default current (up to 120 mA).
The SDI, CLK, LE(ED1), OE(ED2), and SDO pins should be connected to the microcontroller. There are several
ways to achieve this, including the following methods:
• Traces may be routed underneath the package on the top layer.
• The signal may travel through a via to another layer.
The thermal pad in the PWP package should be connected to the ground plane through thermal relief vias. This
layout technique will improve the thermal performance of the package.
