Product details
Overview
TLC69602YBHR from Texas Instruments is a 16-channel constant-current LED driver for LCD local dimming backlight systems, supporting 2-time multiplexing with 30mA per channel at up to 20V compliance voltage, ±2% device-to-device and channel-to-channel current matching, and adaptive headroom voltage control (AHVC) for DC/DC optimization in TV and monitor applications.
For engineers reviewing the TLC69602YBHR datasheet, TLC69602YBHR pinout, TLC69602YBHR application, or TLC69602YBHR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 24-ball DSBGA package (1.58mm × 2.43mm), 15-bit brightness resolution, UART/interrupt or two-wire (CLK_O/SOUT) diagnostic readback, and support for variable refresh rate (VRR) without flicker in high-end display systems.
Technical Context
The TLC69602YBHR implements time-multiplexed local dimming using integrated 16-channel constant-current sinks with SRAM-based brightness storage and daisy-chainable two-wire serial interface (CLK_I/SIN) operating up to 20MHz. It supports hybrid PWM/digital dimming control with global 8-bit maximum current setting and programmable black insertion.
Its diagnostics include per-zone LED open/short detection (LOD/LSD), thermal shutdown (TSD), and dual readback options-UART + INT pin or CLK_O/SOUT two-wire output-configured via internal registers. AHVC dynamically adjusts VLED headroom by feeding back only the FB signal from the last device in chain.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED backlight driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC69602RTWR | Same electrical specs but in 4mm × 4mm WQFN-24 package with exposed thermal pad | Better thermal performance for higher ambient temperature or sustained full-brightness operation | Select when board layout allows larger footprint and thermal management prioritizes heat dissipation over miniaturization |
| TLC69604YBHR | Identical DSBGA-24 package and pinout, but supports 4-time multiplexing (vs. 2× for TLC69602YBHR) | Enables finer-grained local dimming zones per physical LED string, increasing dimming granularity | Choose when system architecture requires deeper time-multiplexing to reduce external MOSFET count or simplify LED wiring |
Compared with TLC69602RTWR and TLC69604YBHR, the TLC69602YBHR offers the smallest possible footprint for 2× multiplexed local dimming while retaining full diagnostic, VRR, and AHVC capabilities-ideal for space-constrained consumer displays where thermal load is moderate.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by the TLC69602YBHR?
The TLC69602YBHR supports up to 20V compliance voltage per output channel, enabling direct drive of typical 5–6 LED white strings (each ~3.2V VF) in series without external boost circuitry. This rating is confirmed in the official datasheet Section 1 (Features) and applies specifically to the TLC69602 variant family including TLC69602YBHR.
Does the TLC69602YBHR support daisy-chaining, and how many devices can be cascaded?
Yes, the TLC69602YBHR supports daisy-chaining via its two-wire serial interface (CLK_I/SIN inputs and CLK_O/SOUT outputs). The datasheet confirms support for up to 1024 devices in a single chain, enabling control of more than 32,000 local dimming zones - a capability explicitly stated for the TLC696x2/4/8 family including TLC69602YBHR.
How does the Adaptive Headroom Voltage Control (AHVC) function in the TLC69602YBHR?
The TLC69602YBHR implements AHVC by monitoring the required VLED headroom across the entire daisy chain and feeding back only the FB signal from the last device to the DC/DC converter. This eliminates overvoltage margin stacking, reducing power loss and heat generation - a feature documented in the TLC69602YBHR's functional description and simplified schematic.
What diagnostic functions are available on the TLC69602YBHR, and how are they reported?
The TLC69602YBHR provides LED open detection (LOD), LED short detection (LSD), and thermal shutdown detection (TSD). These are reported either via UART + interrupt pin (INT) or two-wire output (CLK_O/SOUT), both configurable through internal registers - details confirmed in the "Diagnostics" subsection of the datasheet's Features section.
Is the TLC69602YBHR pin-compatible with other variants in the TLC696x2/4/8 family?
Yes, all TLC696x2/4/8 variants-including TLC69602YBHR, TLC69604YBHR, and TLC69608YBHR-share identical 24-ball DSBGA (YBH) package dimensions, pin assignment, and mechanical footprint. This allows direct PCB reuse across multiplexing variants, as verified in TI's Package Option Addendum and Mechanical Drawings for YBH package.
