3 Description
The TLC5952 device is a 24-channel, constantcurrent sink driver. Each channel can be turned on or
off with internal register data. The output channels
are grouped into three groups of eight channels each.
Each channel group has a 128-step global brightness
control (BC) function. Both on-off data and BC are
writable via a serial interface. The maximum current
value of all 24 channels is set by a single external
resistor.
The TLC5952 device has three error detection
circuits: LED-open detection (LOD), LED-shorted
detection (LSD), and a thermal error flag (TEF). The
error detection is read via a serial interface.

Propagation delay, tD3 (OUTRn on to OUTGn on, OUTGn on to OUTBn on, OUTBn on to OUTRn + 1 on) is calculated by the formula:
tD3 (ns) = (the propagation delay between OUTR0 to OUTB7 = on) / 23
tD4 (OUTRn to OUTGn = off, OUTGn to OUTBn = off, OUTBn to OUTRn + 1 = off) is calculated by the formula:
tD4 (ns) = (the propagation delay between OUTR0 to OUTB7 = off) / 23
Output on-time error is calculated by the formula: tON_ERR (ns) = tOUT_ON – BLANK low-level pulse duration. tOUT_ON is the actual on-time
of the constant current output.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TLC5952 device is a 24-channel, constant- current sink driver. Each channel can be turned on or off with
internal register data. The output channels are grouped into three groups of eight channels each. Each channel
group has a 128-step global brightness control (BC) function. Both on-off data and BC are writable via a serial
interface. The maximum current value of all 24 channels is set by a single external resistor.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Maximum Constant-Sink-Current Value
The maximum output current per channel, IOLCMax, is programmed by a single resistor, RIREF, which is placed
between the IREF and GND pins. The voltage on IREF is set by an internal band-gap VIREF, with a typical value
of 1.20 V. The maximum channel current is equivalent to the current flowing through RIREF multiplied by a factor
of 40 for OUTRn, -Gn and 30 for OUTBn. The maximum output current per channel can be calculated by
Equation 1.
RIREF (kW) =
=
VIREF (V)
´ 40 (for OUTRn/Gn)
IOLCMax (mA)
VIREF (V)
´ 30 (for OUTBn)
IOLCMax (mA)
where:
•
•
VIREF = the internal reference voltage on IREF (1.20 V, typical)
IOLCMax = 2 mA to 35 mA at OUTRn, -Gn and 1.5 mA to 26.2 mA at OUTBn
(1)
IOLCMax is the largest current for each output. Each output sinks the IOLCMax current when it is turned on and the
global brightness control data are set to the maximum value of 7Fh (127d). Each output sink current can be
reduced by lowering the output global brightness control (BC) value.
RIREF must be between 1.37 kΩ and 24 kΩ to hold IOLCMax between 35 mA (typ) and 2 mA (typ) for OUTRn, -Gn
and between 26.2 mA (typ) and 1.5 mA (typ) for OUTBn. Otherwise, the output may be unstable. Output currents
lower than 2 mA (or 1.5 mA for OUTBn) can be achieved by setting IOLCMax to 2 mA or higher and then using
global brightness control to lower the output current.
Table 1 shows the characteristics of the constant-current sink versus the external resistor, RIREF.

8.3.2 Global Brightness Control (BC) Function: Sink-Current Control
The TLC5952 is able to adjust the output current of each of the three color groups OUTR0–OUTR7,
OUTG0–OUTG7, and OUTB0–OUTB7. This function is called global brightness control (BC). The BC function
allows users to adjust the global brightness of LEDs connected to the three output groups (OUTR0–OUTR7,
OUTG0–OUTG7, and OUTB0–OUTB7). All color group output currents can be adjusted in 128 steps from 0% to
100% of the maximum output current, IOLCMax. The brightness control data are entered into the TLC5952 via the
serial interface. When the BC data change, the output current also changes immediately. When the device is
powered on, the data in the common shift register and the control data latch are not set to any default values.
Therefore, BC data must be written to the control data latch before turning on the constant-current output.
Equation 2 determines the output sink current for each color group. Table 2 summarizes the BC data versus
current ratio and set current value.
IOUT (mA) = IOLCMax (mA) ´
BCR/G/B
127d
where:
•
•
IOLCMax = the maximum channel current for each channel determined by R IREF
BCR, -G, -B = the global brightness control value in the control data latch for each output color group

8.3.3 Constant-Current Output On-Off Control
When BLANK is low, each output is controlled by the data in the output on-off data latch. When data
corresponding to an output are equal to 1, the output turns on; when the data corresponding to an output are
equal to 0, the output turns off. When BLANK is high, all outputs are forced off.
When the device is powered on, the data in the output on-off data latch are not set to any default values.
Therefore, on-off data must be written to the output on-off data latch before turning on the constant-current
output and pulling BLANK low.
If there are any OUTRn, -Gn, -Bn outputs not connected to an LED, including open for short-to-ground failures,
the on-off data corresponding to the unconnected output should be set to 0 before the LED is turned on.
Otherwise, the VCC supply current (ICC) increases while the LEDs are on. A truth table for the on-off control data
is shown in Table 3.

8.4.2 Register and Data Latch Configuration
The TLC5952 device has two writable data latches: the output on-off data latch and the control data latch. Both
data latches are 24 bits in length. If the common shift register MSB is 0, the least significant 24 bits of data from
the 25-bit common shift register are latched into the output on-off data latch. If the MSB is 1, the data are latched
into the control data latch. Figure 37 shows the common shift register and the control data latch configuration.

8.4.2.1 Output On-Off Data Latch
The output on-off data latch is 24 bits long. This latch is used to turn each output current sink (OUTRn, -Gn, -Bn)
on or off. When the MSB of the common shift register is set to 0, the lower 24 bits are written to the output on-off
data latch on the rising edge of LAT. If the output on-off data latch bit corresponding to an output is 0, the output
is turned off; if the bit is a 1, the output is turned on.
When the device is powered on, the data in the output on-off data latch are not set to any default value.
Therefore, the on-off control data should be written to the data latch before the constant-current outputs are
turned on.

8.4.2.2 Control-Data Latch
The control data latch is 24 bits long and is used to adjust the LED current for each color group (OUTR0-OUTR7,
OUTG0-OUTG7, and OUTB0-OUTB7). The LED current for each group can be adjusted between 0% and 100%
of IOLCMAX in 128 steps (7-bit resolution). This data latch is also used to select the error detection type, LED open
detection (LOD) or LED short detection (LSD), and the threshold voltage. When the MSB of the common shift
register is set to 1, the lower 24 bits are written to the control data latch on the rising edge of LAT. Table 4 shows
the control data latch bit assignment.
When the device is powered on, the data in the control data latch are not set to a default value. Therefore, the
control data latch data should be written to the latch before the constant-current outputs are turned on.

8.4.2.3 Status Information Data (SID)
The 25-bit word status information data (SID) contains the status of the LED open detection (LOD) or LED short
detection (LSD), and thermal error flag (TEF). When the MSB of the common shift register is set to 0, the SID
overwrites the common shift register data at the rising edge of LAT after the data in the common shift register are
copied to the output on-off data latch. If the common shift register MSB is 1, the SID data are not copied to the
common shift register.
After being copied into the common shift register, new SID data are not available until new data are written into
the common shift register. If new data are not written, the LAT signal is ignored. To recheck SID data without
changing the constant-current output on-off data, reprogram the common shift register with the same data that
are currently programmed into the output on-off data latch. When LAT goes high, the output on-off data do not
change, but new SID data are loaded into the common shift register. LOD, LSD, and TEF are shifted out of
SOUT with each rising edge of SCLK.

8.4.2.4 LED-Open Detection (LOD), LED-Short Detection (LSD), And Thermal Error Flag (TEF)
LOD detects a fault caused by an LED open circuit or a short from OUTRn, -Gn, -Bn to ground by comparing the
OUTRn, -Gn, -Bn voltage to the LOD detection threshold voltage level set in the control data latch (Table 4). If
the OUTRn, -Gn, -Bn voltage is lower than the programmed voltage, that output LOD bit is set to 1 to indicate an
open LED. Otherwise, the LOD bit is set to 0. LOD data are only valid for outputs programmed to be on. LOD
data for outputs programmed to be off are always 0.
LSD data detects a fault caused by a shorted LED by comparing the OUTRn, -Gn, -Bn voltage to the LSD
detection threshold voltage level set in the control data latch (Table 4). If the OUTRn, -Gn, -Bn voltage is higher
than the programmed voltage, that output LOD bit is set to 1 to indicate a shorted LED. Otherwise, the LSD bit is
set to 0. LSD data are only valid for outputs programmed to be on. LSD data for outputs programmed to be off
are always 0.
LOD and LSD data are not valid until 1 μs after the falling edge of BLANK. Therefore, BLANK must be low for at
least 1 μs before going high. At the rising edge of BLANK, the LOD and LSD detection data are latched in the
LOD-LSD holder. Changes in the LOD or LSD data while BLANK is low are directly connected to the output of
the LOD-LSD holder, but are only valid 1 μs after the change. The rising edge of LAT transfers the output data of
the LOD-LSD holder to the common shift register.
As shown in Table 5, LOD and LSD data cannot be checked simultaneously. LOD and LSD data are not valid
when TEF is active because all outputs are forced off.
The TEF bit indicates that the device junction temperature exceeds the temperature threshold (TTEF = 165°C,
typ). The TEF bit also indicates that the device has turned off all drivers to avoid overheating. The device
automatically turns the drivers back on when the device temperature decreases to less than TTEF – THYS. The
TEF data are held in the TEF holder latch until the TEF data are loaded into the common shift register by the
rising edge of LAT. If the device temperature falls below TTEF – THYS when LAT goes high, the TEF data in the
TEF holder become 0. If the device temperature is not below TTEF – THYS when LAT goes high, then the TEF
data remain 1. Table 5 shows a truth table for LOD, LSD, and TEF. Figure 33 to Figure 36 show different
examples of LOD, LSD, and TEF operation.

the voltage selected by the detection
voltage select bit in the
control data latch)
Junction temperature is lower than the
detect temperature (TTEF) before TEF
is undetected or the detect temperature
(TTEF – THYS) after TEF is detected
1
LED is open or shorted to GND
(VOUTRn/Gn/Bn is less than or equal to
the voltage selected by the detection
voltage select bit in the
control data latch)
LED terminal is short or OUTn is short
to higher voltage (VOUTn is greater than
The selected voltage by detection

detect temperature (TTEF)
SID DATA
8.4.2.5 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
The thermal shutdown (TSD) function turns off all constant-current outputs when the device junction temperature
(TJ) exceeds the temperature threshold (TTEF = 165°C, typ). The outputs remain disabled as long as the
overtemperature condition exists. The outputs are turned on again after the device junction temperature drops
below (TTEF – THYS).
8.4.2.6 Noise Reduction
Large surge currents may flow through the device and the board on which the device is mounted if all 24 LED
channels turn on simultaneously when BLANK goes low. These large current surges could induce detrimental
noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) into other circuits. The TLC5952 turns the LED channels on in a
series delay to provide a circuit soft-start feature.
A small delay circuit is implemented between each output. When all bits of the on-off data latch are set to 1, each
constant-current output turns on in order (OUTR0, OUTG0, OUTB0, OUTR1, OUTG1, OUTB1, OUTR2–OUTB6,
OUTR7, OUTG7, and OUTB7) with a small delay between each output after BLANK goes low or LAT goes high;
see Figure 38. Both turnon and turnoff are delayed.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
Connect at least one 10-nF ceramic capacitor as close as possible between the VCC pin and ground. Additional
capacitors are needed on the LED power supply to reduce ripple on the LED power supply to a minimum.
