Product details
Overview
TLC5922DAPR from Texas Instruments is a 16-channel constant-current LED sink driver in a 32-pin HTSSOP PowerPAD™ package, delivering programmable 0–80 mA per channel with ±1% typical current accuracy and 128-step dot-correction for brightness uniformity across LED arrays. It supports 30 MHz SPI-compatible serial interface, operates from 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply, and drives LED loads up to 17 V - used in full-color LED displays and signage requiring precise per-channel intensity control.
For engineers reviewing the TLC5922DAPR datasheet, TLC5922DAPR pinout, TLC5922DAPR application, or TLC5922DAPR equivalent, key selection considerations include its 112-bit dot-correction data width, BLANK-controlled global output disable, MODE-selectable On/Off vs. DC register loading, and thermal management via exposed PowerPAD™ die attach.
Technical Context
The TLC5922DAPR implements dual-mode serial control: MODE = L selects 16-bit On/Off register loading (MSB-first), while MODE = H enables 112-bit dot-correction register loading (16 × 7-bit words). Each output features graduated 20 ns inter-channel delay to suppress inrush current during simultaneous turn-on.
Current regulation is set by a single external resistor (RIREF) connected between IREF and GND, establishing a reference voltage of 1.24 V (typ) and scaling output current by 40× that reference current. Output switching achieves 10 ns rise/fall times (typ) at VCC = 5 V and TA = 60 °C.

| NC (Pin 29) | No connect | Not internally bonded; must remain unconnected on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC5940RHBR | 16-channel, 12-bit PWM + 6-bit dot-correction; integrated grayscale counter; requires external VREF for current setting | Better suited for high-resolution grayscale video; lacks BLANK-driven global disable and inter-channel delay | Select when 4096-step PWM dimming is required over analog current scaling |
| IS31FL3728-QFLS4-TR | 28-channel, I²C interface, auto-breathing, integrated thermal foldback; 30 mA max per channel | Designed for space-constrained RGBW lighting; no SPI interface or programmable inter-channel delay | Select for I²C-based smart lighting nodes needing built-in safety features and smaller footprint |
Compared with TLC5922DAPR, TLC5940RHBR offers higher grayscale resolution but requires more complex timing and lacks in-rush suppression, while IS31FL3728-QFLS4-TR provides greater channel density and bus simplicity at lower current capability and no inter-output delay staging.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED supply voltage supported by the TLC5922DAPR?
The TLC5922DAPR supports up to 17 V applied to its OUT0–OUT15 pins, enabling direct drive of LED strings with forward voltages totaling ≤17 V without external boost circuitry. This rating is specified under Recommended Operating Conditions and verified across the full –20 °C to 85 °C operating temperature range. The device maintains 80 mA sink capability at this voltage when RIREF = 600 Ω and VCC = 5 V.
How does the MODE pin affect serial data loading in the TLC5922DAPR?
The MODE pin determines the width and function of the internal shift register in the TLC5922DAPR: when MODE = L, the device accepts 16-bit On/Off data (1 bit per channel); when MODE = H, it accepts 112-bit dot-correction data (7 bits per channel). XLAT rising edge latches the loaded data into the respective register. Both modes use MSB-first clocking on SCLK, and SOUT enables cascading.
Can the TLC5922DAPR be used without an external current-setting resistor?
No - the TLC5922DAPR requires an external resistor (RIREF) connected between IREF and GND to establish its output current scale. The internal bandgap reference fixes VIREF at 1.24 V (typ), and output current equals 40 × (1.24 V / RIREF). Minimum RIREF is 600 Ω to limit max current to 80 mA; omitting the resistor disables regulated current output and risks damage or undefined behavior.
What thermal design guidance applies to the TLC5922DAPR's PowerPAD™ package?
The TLC5922DAPR's exposed thermal die pad (PowerPAD™) must be soldered to a PCB copper area with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, filled or capped) connecting to an internal ground plane. TI recommends ≥250 mm² copper area per device. Without proper thermal attachment, junction temperature can exceed limits at >1.5 W dissipation. Full thermal guidelines are in SLMA002 and SLMA004 application briefs.
Does the TLC5922DAPR support daisy-chaining, and how is it implemented?
Yes - the TLC5922DAPR supports daisy-chaining via its SOUT pin, which outputs shifted data after each SCLK cycle. To cascade n devices, connect SOUT of device N to SIN of device N+1, share SCLK, XLAT, MODE, and BLANK lines, and drive SIN of the first device. Total serial packet length becomes 16n bits (On/Off) or 112n bits (dot-correction), requiring proportional increase in SCLK cycles and XLAT timing margin.
