Product details
Overview
TLC59284DBQ from Texas Instruments is a 16-channel constant-current LED sink driver in SSOP-24 package, delivering up to 45 mA per channel (VCC > 3.6 V), supporting 35 MHz serial data rate, and featuring BLANK-controlled global output blanking with 50 ns minimum pulse width. It enables precise, daisy-chainable LED control in high-density video displays.
For engineers reviewing the TLC59284DBQ datasheet, TLC59284DBQ pinout, TLC59284DBQ application, or TLC59284DBQ equivalent, key selection criteria include channel-to-channel current accuracy (±1.4% typ), switching delay–based noise reduction, IREF-resistor–set current programming, and compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V CMOS logic levels across –40°C to +85°C operation.
Technical Context
The TLC59284DBQ integrates a 16-bit serial shift register and an output latch, with LAT enabling synchronous data transfer from shift register to latch. Its constant-current sink outputs are individually controlled via serial data and globally disabled via BLANK - a Schmitt-triggered input with internal 500 kΩ pull-up.
Current regulation is set by a single external resistor (RIREF) connected between IREF and GND, establishing sink current from 2 mA to 45 mA depending on VCC and RIREF value. Output switching incorporates grouped turn-on/off delays (1 ns typ) to suppress EMI from simultaneous channel transitions.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC5940RHBR | 16-channel, but includes dot-correction (6-bit) and grayscale PWM (12-bit); requires external Vref and more complex interface | Better suited for high-fidelity grayscale video; higher BOM cost and layout complexity | Select when per-channel grayscale intensity control beyond ON/OFF is required |
| MAX7219CWG+ | 8-digit/64-LED display driver with built-in BCD decode, scan limit, and intensity control; SPI interface only | Optimized for 7-segment/matrix displays; not configurable as general-purpose constant-current sink | Select for fixed-format numeric/alphanumeric displays where integrated decode simplifies MCU firmware |
Compared with TLC59284DBQ, TLC5940RHBR adds precision grayscale but increases system complexity, while MAX7219CWG+ offers integrated display logic at the expense of flexible current programming - making TLC59284DBQ optimal for custom LED array control with minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED forward voltage supported by the TLC59284DBQ?
The TLC59284DBQ supports an output voltage range up to +11 V (absolute max) and is specified for LED power-supply voltage up to 10 V. This allows driving series-connected LED strings with combined forward voltages up to 9.7 V while maintaining constant-current regulation - verified across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and VCC = 3 V to 5.5 V.
How is the output current programmed on the TLC59284DBQ?
The TLC59284DBQ uses a single external resistor (RIREF) connected between the IREF pin and GND to set all 16 channel currents. The internal 1.208 V reference generates a proportional sink current: IOUT ≈ 43.8 mA × (1.208 V / RIREF). For example, a 1.51 kΩ resistor yields ~35 mA per channel at VCC ≤ 3.6 V, and the same resistor yields ~45 mA when VCC > 3.6 V.
Does the TLC59284DBQ support daisy-chaining, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the TLC59284DBQ supports seamless daisy-chaining via its SOUT pin, which outputs the MSB of its internal 16-bit shift register on each SCLK rising edge. To cascade, connect SOUT of Device 1 to SIN of Device 2, share SCLK/LAT/BLANK lines, and drive LAT after loading all devices' shift registers. This enables scalable control of N×16 channels with only four MCU pins.
What is the purpose of the switching delay feature in the TLC59284DBQ?
Switching delay staggers the turn-on and turn-off timing of the 16 outputs across nine predefined groups (e.g., OUT0 alone; OUT1+OUT15; OUT2+OUT14, etc.) with ~1 ns inter-group delay. This prevents simultaneous current transients that cause EMI and ground bounce - critical in noise-sensitive applications like video displays and industrial HMIs where clean power integrity is mandatory.
Can the TLC59284DBQ operate with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems?
Yes, the TLC59284DBQ features CMOS logic-level inputs (SIN, SCLK, LAT, BLANK) compatible with both 3.3 V and 5 V systems: VIH = 0.7×VCC and VIL = 0.3×VCC, so it accepts valid high/low thresholds across its full 3 V–5.5 V VCC range. No level-shifting circuitry is needed, simplifying integration into mixed-voltage designs.
