Product details
Overview
TLC69610QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive scan MOSFET controller designed to drive P-channel MOSFETs in LCD local dimming backlight systems. It delivers 60mA per channel at up to 20V, supports daisy-chained operation for up to 1024 devices, and integrates UART/INT and SOUT/CLK_O diagnostic readback for thermal shutdown, LED open/short detection. It enables high-contrast display control in automotive central information displays.
For engineers reviewing the TLC69610QPWPRQ1 datasheet, TLC69610QPWPRQ1 pinout, TLC69610QPWPRQ1 application, or TLC69610QPWPRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60mA/20V channel drive capability, HTSSOP-28 wettable flank package with PowerPAD™ thermal pad, 20MHz daisy-chain interface, adaptive headroom voltage control for DC/DC optimization, and functional safety documentation support.
Technical Context
The TLC69610QPWPRQ1 implements a full-array local dimming controller architecture that interfaces with current-sink drivers (TLC696x2/4/8-Q1) to achieve 2×/4×/8× time-multiplexed scanning. It integrates 16 constant-current sinks and ghost-cancellation circuitry to eliminate upside ghosting in segmented LED backlights.
Its adaptive headroom voltage control scheme directly regulates external DC/DC converters via a single FB pin from the last device in the chain, reducing system component count and layout complexity. Diagnostics include three error flags-LED open detection (LOD), LED short detection (LSD), and thermal shutdown detection (TSD)-with programmable readback via UART/INT or two-wire SOUT/CLK_O.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channel Drive Capability | 60mA per channel at up to 20V - enables direct driving of high-side P-MOSFETs for local dimming zones without external amplification |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar scan MOSFET controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC69610QRTWRQ1 | Same electrical specs and register map, but in 24-pin WQFN (RTW) with 4mm × 4mm wettable flank package and Level-1 MSL rating | Better thermal performance and smaller footprint; suited for space-constrained HUD or ADAS modules with high reflow tolerance | Select when board area is limited and thermal pad soldering is feasible; requires updated land pattern and stencil design |

FAQ
What is the maximum number of TLC69610QPWPRQ1 devices that can be daisy-chained?
The TLC69610QPWPRQ1 supports up to 1024 devices in a daisy-chain configuration, enabling large-scale local dimming arrays for ultra-high-resolution automotive displays. This scalability is achieved through its high-speed 20MHz serial interface and dedicated CLK_O/SOUT outputs that propagate timing and data to subsequent devices without external buffering.
Does TLC69610QPWPRQ1 support both UART and two-wire diagnostic readback simultaneously?
No - the TLC69610QPWPRQ1 supports UART + INT or SOUT + CLK_O diagnostic readback, selected via configuration register. Both modes provide identical fault detection (LOD, LSD, TSD), but the two-wire option conserves MCU pins and simplifies routing in dense automotive PCB layouts.
What is the purpose of the FB pin on TLC69610QPWPRQ1, and how should it be connected?
The FB pin implements adaptive headroom voltage control. Only the FB pin of the last device in the daisy chain should connect to the feedback node of the external DC/DC converter. This single-point connection ensures coordinated headroom regulation across all devices, minimizing voltage overhead and power loss in the LED driver stage.
How does the ghost-cancellation function in TLC69610QPWPRQ1 improve display quality?
The ghost-cancellation function in TLC69610QPWPRQ1 synchronizes scan timing and current sink settling to suppress residual illumination (upside ghosting) caused by capacitive coupling and slow turn-off in time-multiplexed local dimming. It ensures clean, artifact-free transitions between dimming zones during fast-moving UI content.
Is TLC69610QPWPRQ1 pin-compatible with other members of the TLC696x0-Q1 family?
Yes - all TLC696x0-Q1 variants (TLC69600/10/50/60-Q1) share identical HTSSOP-28 (PWP) and WQFN-24 (RTW) packages and pinouts. This allows hardware reuse across different channel current/voltage requirements (e.g., 30mA/20V → 60mA/20V) without PCB redesign, provided thermal and layout margins accommodate the higher current.
