Overview
TB62747AFG,C8,EL from Toshiba is a 16-channel constant-current LED driver IC designed for LED panel displays and signage systems. It delivers precise sink-current outputs (1.5–45 mA), supports 3.3 V/5.0 V CMOS logic interfaces with Schmitt-trigger inputs, and features serial-in/parallel-out shift register + latch architecture for high-speed data transfer up to 25 MHz. Its 24-pin SSOP package enables compact, high-density LED array control in industrial display applications.
For engineers reviewing the TB62747AFG,C8,EL datasheet, TB62747AFG,C8,EL pinout, TB62747AFG,C8,EL application, or TB62747AFG,C8,EL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options, and supply-ready availability details - all grounded in Toshiba's official TB62747AFG/AFNG datasheet (Rev. 2017-01-24).
Technical Context
The TB62747AFG,C8,EL integrates a 16-bit shift register, 16-bit D-latch, AND-gated output control, and 16 matched constant-current sinks-all fabricated in Bi-CMOS process. Its serial clock (SCK) accepts up to 25 MHz input, and data is latched on SLAT low level, enabling cascaded daisy-chain configurations without external timing constraints.
Output current is set globally via a single external resistor (REXT) connected between pin 23 and GND, delivering ±1.5% channel-to-channel and device-to-device accuracy at 3.3 V or 5.0 V supply. The OE pin provides synchronous global enable/disable with 100 ns minimum pulse width, while SOUT supports seamless multi-device cascading.
Key Specifications

| Output channels | 16 independent sink-type constant-current outputs (OUT0–OUT15); enables uniform drive of LED segments or pixels without per-channel resistors. |
| Output current range | 1.5–35 mA @ 3.3 V supply; 1.5–45 mA @ 5.0 V supply - adjustable via single REXT resistor, simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Current accuracy | ±1.5% max (ch-to-ch & IC-to-IC) - ensures consistent LED brightness across channels and boards without calibration. |
| Serial data rate | Up to 25 MHz SCK frequency - supports fast refresh rates for dynamic LED displays (e.g., scrolling text, animations). |
| Logic interface | 3.3 V/5.0 V CMOS-compatible with Schmitt-trigger inputs - eliminates need for level shifters when interfacing with microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| Max output voltage | 26 V - allows direct driving of multi-LED strings (e.g., 6–8 white LEDs in series at ~3.2 V each) without external boost circuitry. |
| Enable response | twOE(L) = 100 ns min - enables precise frame-blanking or strobing in high-speed multiplexed displays. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SSOP24-P-300-1.00B (24-pin shrink small-outline package, 0.65 mm pitch not applicable - TB62747AFG uses 1.00 mm pitch; weight 0.29 g typ.).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 1) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and output current; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling into analog current regulation. |
| SIN (Pin 2) | Serial data input | Accepts LSB-first serial data stream synchronized to SCK rising edge; Schmitt-trigger input rejects noise on long PCB traces. |
| SCK (Pin 3) | Serial clock input | Drives internal shift register on rising edge; 25 MHz max rate enables <1 µs per bit - critical for >1 kHz display update rates. |
| SLAT (Pin 4) | Latch signal input | Low-level active latch; transfers shift register contents to output latches - essential for glitch-free parallel output updates. |
| OUT0–OUT15 (Pins 5–20) | Constant-current sink outputs | Each drives LED cathode to GND; current set by REXT; VO(max) = 26 V allows high-side LED anode connection to up to 26 V rail. |
| OE (Pin 21) | Output enable | Active-low global shutdown; forces all outputs OFF regardless of latch state - used for PWM dimming or fault-safe blanking. |
| SOUT (Pin 22) | Serial data output | Shifts out MSB of internal register; enables daisy-chaining multiple TB62747AFG,C8,EL devices with single controller. |
| REXT (Pin 23) | Current-setting resistor node | Connects external resistor to GND; sets identical current for all 16 outputs - eliminates per-channel trimming and reduces component count. |
| VDD (Pin 24) | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V supply for logic and output stages; Bi-CMOS process ensures stable operation across full range with low quiescent current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-resistor current programming | One external REXT sets identical 16-channel output current - reduces BOM cost, layout area, and thermal mismatch vs. per-channel resistors. |
| High-speed serial interface | 25 MHz SCK with 100 ns OE response - supports real-time display updates and synchronized multi-chip operation in large LED walls. |
| Integrated power-on reset (POR) | Ensures known initial state (outputs OFF) at power-up - prevents unintended LED flash or latch corruption during supply ramp. |
| Bi-CMOS process technology | Combines CMOS logic density with bipolar current-source precision - achieves ±1.5% current matching and 26 V output compliance simultaneously. |
| Schmitt-trigger input logic | Hysteresis on SIN/SCK/SLAT/OE pins rejects noise and ensures clean clock/data sampling - improves reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar constant-current LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TB62726FNG | 16-channel, same Bi-CMOS process, but SSOP24-0.65A package (AFNG); lower thermal resistance (120°C/W vs. 94°C/W), lower weight (0.14 g). | Preferred where board space is constrained and higher thermal performance is needed; requires re-layout due to 0.65 mm pitch. | Select TB62726FNG only if PCB redesign for finer pitch is feasible and thermal margin is critical; TB62747AFG,C8,EL remains optimal for legacy 1.00 mm pitch designs. |
| AL8861T-7 | 16-channel constant-current driver with integrated PWM dimming controller; operates from 4.5–40 V input; no shift register - requires parallel digital interface. | Used in automotive interior lighting where wide-input-voltage tolerance and built-in PWM are mandatory; lacks serial interface for microcontroller-constrained systems. | Choose AL8861T-7 only when input voltage exceeds 5.5 V or integrated PWM control is required; TB62747AFG,C8,EL is superior for SPI-based embedded control with tight BOM control. |
Compared with TB62726FNG, TB62747AFG,C8,EL offers proven compatibility with existing 1.00 mm-pitch SSOP footprints and higher power dissipation capability (1.32 W vs. 1.04 W). Against AL8861T-7, TB62747AFG,C8,EL delivers lower system cost through serial interface consolidation and eliminates need for external PWM timing components - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial displays.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage rating for TB62747AFG,C8,EL?
The TB62747AFG,C8,EL has a maximum output voltage rating of 26 V, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows the IC to drive LED strings with total forward voltage up to 26 V - for example, eight white LEDs (3.2 V each) in series. Exceeding this voltage risks permanent damage to the output transistors, so proper LED string voltage selection and overvoltage protection must be implemented in the application design.
How is output current set on TB62747AFG,C8,EL?
Output current on TB62747AFG,C8,EL is set globally using a single external resistor (REXT) connected between pin 23 (REXT) and GND. The theoretical relationship is IOUT ≈ 1.13 V ÷ REXT × 14.9. For example, a 1.2 kΩ resistor yields ~14 mA per channel at 25°C. All 16 outputs share this current value, ensuring uniform brightness without per-channel calibration or trimming components.
Does TB62747AFG,C8,EL support daisy-chaining with other devices?
Yes, TB62747AFG,C8,EL supports daisy-chaining via its SOUT (pin 22) and SIN (pin 2) pins. Serial data shifted into the first device appears at SOUT and can be fed directly into the SIN of the next device in the chain. This enables expansion to dozens of outputs using a single SPI interface - confirmed in the datasheet's cascade connection specification (fSCK = 25 MHz max) and truth table behavior.
What is the operating temperature range for TB62747AFG,C8,EL?
TB62747AFG,C8,EL is rated for an operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, as defined in its Operating Conditions section. This industrial-grade range ensures reliable performance in factory automation panels, outdoor signage enclosures, and HVAC control units. Thermal derating must be applied above 25°C ambient per the power dissipation curves - e.g., at 85°C, maximum power drops to ~0.7 W for the AFG package.
Can TB62747AFG,C8,EL operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, TB62747AFG,C8,EL fully supports 3.3 V operation. Its power supply range is 3.0 V to 5.5 V, and electrical characteristics are explicitly characterized at both 3.3 V and 5.0 V. At 3.3 V, output current is adjustable from 1.5 mA to 35 mA, and logic inputs meet CMOS thresholds (VIH ≥ 0.7×VDD, VIL ≤ 0.3×VDD), ensuring compatibility with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifting.
