Product details
Overview
TLC59582RTQT from Texas Instruments is a 48-channel, 16-bit enhanced serial PWM LED driver with constant-current sink outputs, pre-charge FET, LED open detection (LOD), and caterpillar-canceling circuitry. It supports 16-multiplexing, delivers up to 25 mA per channel at 5 VCC, and features 3-bit global brightness control (BC) and 9-bit per-color brightness control (CC) across red/green/blue groups for high-density LED video displays.
For engineers reviewing the TLC59582RTQT datasheet, TLC59582RTQT pinout, TLC59582RTQT application, or TLC59582RTQT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 56-pin VQFN package with thermal pad, 33 MHz grayscale clock (GCLK), 25 MHz data shift clock (SCLK), ±3% channel-to-channel current accuracy, and support for daisy-chained configurations in multiplexed LED panels requiring precise low-grayscale fidelity and system-level fault detection.
Technical Context
The TLC59582RTQT implements an ES-PWM architecture with dual 48-kbit SRAM banks (A/B) enabling seamless frame buffering and high refresh rates in multiplexed LED systems. Its functional block integrates a 48-bit common shift register, programmable group delay, LOD voltage comparator, and thermal shutdown (TSD) circuitry triggered at 170°C with 10°C hysteresis.
It operates in 8+8 mode (SEL_PWM = 0) with 129 GCLK cycles per line segment, supporting 16-line multiplexing. The device uses IREF resistor-based current programming (RIREF = 7.5 kΩ for 25 mA target), with separate analog ground (IREFGND) and power ground (GND) pins to minimize noise coupling into the reference path.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
Package: 56-pin VQFN (RTQ), 8.00 mm × 8.00 mm body with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management (RθJB = 5.5°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IREF | Reference current input | Connects external resistor (e.g., 7.5 kΩ) to set full-scale output current; placement near IREFGND minimizes noise |
| IREFGND | Analog reference ground | Dedicated AGND return for IREF; must route separately to common GND point to avoid digital noise injection |
| GCLK | Grayscale clock input | Rising edge increments GS counter; 33 MHz max rate defines PWM resolution and refresh timing granularity |
| SCLK | Serial data clock input | Shifts 48-bit data into common register on rising edge; 25 MHz max enables fast frame loading |
| LAT | Data latch control | Falling edge transfers shift register contents to GS memory or FC registers; critical for synchronized frame updates |
| SIN | Serial data input | LSB-first 48-bit GS/FC data stream; high/low state sampled on SCLK rising edge |
| SOUT | Serial data output | MSB of shift register - enables daisy-chaining multiple TLC59582RTQT devices without external logic |
| OUTR0–15 | Red LED sink outputs | Individually controlled constant-current sinks; may be paralleled to increase drive capability per LED |
| OUTG0–15 | Green LED sink outputs | Same electrical specs as OUTR; independent CC register allows color balancing without hardware changes |
| OUTB0–15 | Blue LED sink outputs | Same electrical specs; 9-bit CC register compensates for blue LED efficiency variance vs. R/G |
| VCC | Power supply | 3.0–5.5 V digital/analog supply; decoupling required within 5 mm of pin per layout guidelines |
| GND / Thermal Pad | Power ground | Thermal pad is electrically connected to GND; mandatory soldering ensures thermal reliability and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pre-Charge FET | Activates before main output turn-on to charge LED parasitic capacitance - eliminates ghosting in high-speed multiplexed scanning |
| Caterpillar Cancelling Circuit | Detects open-LED faults and dynamically adjusts adjacent line timing - prevents vertical streak artifacts in failed-pixel scenarios |
| LED Open Detection (LOD) | Four threshold levels (VLOD0–VLOD3) configurable via FC register - enables robust fault reporting without external sense resistors |
| Low-Grayscale Enhancement (LGSE) | Nonlinear GS counter mapping below 128 counts - improves visual uniformity at 0.2–5% brightness levels |
| Power-Save Mode | Reduces ICC to 0.8 mA typical when all outputs disabled - lowers standby power in always-on display systems |
| Dual-Bank SRAM | 48-kbit memory split into two 24-kbit banks - allows background frame loading while active bank drives display |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC59581RTQT | Supports 32-multiplexing (vs. 16 for TLC59582RTQT); identical pinout, package, and register map | Better suited for ultra-high-density panels requiring >1,000 Hz refresh at full resolution | Select TLC59581RTQT only if 32-line mux is required; otherwise TLC59582RTQT offers same feature set with relaxed timing margins |
| IS31FL3729-QFLS4 | 48-channel, 12-bit PWM, no LOD or caterpillar cancellation; uses I²C interface instead of serial shift | Lower cost for non-critical indoor signage where fault tolerance is secondary to BOM simplicity | Choose IS31FL3729-QFLS4 for space-constrained designs needing I²C control; avoid where open-LED detection or ghosting mitigation is mandatory |
Compared with TLC59581RTQT, the TLC59582RTQT trades multiplexing depth for improved timing margin and lower GCLK dependency, while the IS31FL3729-QFLS4 sacrifices diagnostic features and grayscale depth for interface simplicity and reduced MCU GPIO usage.

FAQ
What is the maximum multiplexing ratio supported by the TLC59582RTQT?
The TLC59582RTQT supports up to 16-line multiplexing, defined by its internal timing architecture and 129 GCLK cycles per line segment. This differs from the TLC59581RTQT, which supports 32-line multiplexing. The 16-mux capability of the TLC59582RTQT is fixed in silicon and cannot be increased via firmware or configuration. Applications requiring higher density must use TLC59581RTQT or cascade multiple TLC59582RTQT devices with synchronized GCLK.
How does the LED Open Detection (LOD) function work in the TLC59582RTQT?
The TLC59582RTQT implements LOD by monitoring voltage at each OUTXn pin during the off-state and comparing it to one of four programmable thresholds (VLOD0–VLOD3). When an open LED causes the pin voltage to exceed the selected threshold, the corresponding bit in the 48-bit LOD register is set. This register is readable via the serial interface after issuing a READSID command. The TLC59582RTQT does not auto-correct open-LED conditions but provides real-time fault visibility for system-level error handling.
Can the TLC59582RTQT drive LEDs with forward voltages exceeding 5.5 V?
Yes - the TLC59582RTQT's output stage supports VLED up to 10 V, independent of the 3.0–5.5 V VCC supply. This allows direct driving of series-connected LED strings (e.g., three 3.3 V blue LEDs = 9.9 V total) without external high-voltage drivers. However, the VCC supply must remain within its specified range, and thermal design must account for increased power dissipation at higher VLED – VOUT differentials.
What is the purpose of the IREFGND pin on the TLC59582RTQT?
The IREFGND pin on the TLC59582RTQT provides a dedicated analog ground return path for the IREF current-setting resistor, isolating reference current sensing from noisy digital ground currents. It must be routed as a short, low-impedance trace to the system's analog ground plane and connected to the main GND at a single point near the power entry. Failure to separate IREFGND from digital GND can cause ±10% current drift due to ground bounce coupling into the reference path.
Does the TLC59582RTQT require external components for basic operation?
Yes - the TLC59582RTQT requires at minimum: (1) an external IREF resistor (e.g., 7.5 kΩ for 25 mA full scale), (2) 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitors on VCC and IREF pins, (3) pull-up resistors on GCLK (250–750 kΩ), and (4) pull-down resistors on LAT (250–750 kΩ). The thermal pad must be soldered to PCB GND. No external MOSFETs, op-amps, or level shifters are needed for standard operation within datasheet limits.
