DESCRIPTION  
The TLC5940 is a 16-channel, constant-current sink LED driver. Each channel has an individually adjustable  
4096-step grayscale PWM brightness control and a 64-step, constant-current sink (dot correction). The dot  
correction adjusts the brightness variations between LED channels and other LED drivers. The dot correction  
data is stored in an integrated EEPROM. Both grayscale control and dot correction are accessible via a serial  
interface. A single external resistor sets the maximum current value of all 16 channels.  
The TLC5940 features two error information circuits. The LED open detection (LOD) indicates a broken or  
disconnected LED at an output terminal. The thermal error flag (TEF) indicates an overtemperature condition.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with  
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

(1) For more information about traditional and new thermal metrics, see the IC Package Thermal Metrics application report, SPRA953.  
(2) The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance under natural convection is obtained in a simulation on a JEDEC-standard, High-K board, as  
specified in JESD51-7, in an environment described in JESD51-2a.  
(3) The junction-to-case (top) thermal resistance is obtained by simulating a cold plate test on the package top. No specific  
JEDEC-standard test exists, but a close description can be found in the ANSI SEMI standard G30-88.  
(4) The junction to case (bottom) thermal resistance is obtained by simulations of this device as configured per MilStd 883 method 1012.1.  
(5) The junction-to-board thermal resistance is obtained by simulating in an environment with a ring cold plate fixture to control the PCB  
temperature, as described in JESD51-8.  
(6) The junction-to-top characterization parameter, ΨJT, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted  
from the simulation data for obtaining qJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).  
(7) The junction-to-board characterization parameter, ΨJB, estimates the junction temperature of a device in a real system and is extracted  
from the simulation data for obtaining qJA, using a procedure described in JESD51-2a (sections 6 and 7).

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION  
SERIAL INTERFACE  
The TLC5940 has a flexible serial interface, which can be connected to microcontrollers or digital signal  
processors in various ways. Only 3 pins are needed to input data into the device. The rising edge of SCLK signal  
shifts the data from the SIN pin to the internal register. After all data is clocked in, a high-level pulse of XLAT  
signal latches the serial data to the internal registers. The internal registers are level-triggered latches of XLAT  
signal. All data are clocked in with the MSB first. The length of serial data is 96 bit or 192 bit, depending on the  
programming mode. Grayscale data and dot correction data can be entered during a grayscale cycle. Although  
new grayscale data can be clocked in during a grayscale cycle, the XLAT signal should only latch the grayscale  
data at the end of the grayscale cycle. Latching in new grayscale data immediately overwrites the existing  
grayscale data. Figure 12 shows the timing chart. More than two TLC5940s can be connected in series by  
connecting an SOUT pin from one device to the SIN pin of the next device. An example of cascading two  
TLC5940s is shown in Figure 13 and the timing chart is shown in Figure 14. The SOUT pin can also be  
connected to the controller to receive status information from TLC5940 as shown in Figure 23.

ERROR INFORMATION OUTPUT  
The open-drain output XERR is used to report both of the TLC5940 error flags, TEF and LOD. During normal  
operating conditions, the internal transistor connected to the XERR pin is turned off. The voltage on XERR is  
pulled up to VCC through an external pullup resistor. If TEF or LOD is detected, the internal transistor is turned  
on, and XERR is pulled to GND. Since XERR is an open-drain output, multiple ICs can be OR'ed together and  
pulled up to VCC with a single pullup resistor. This reduces the number of signals needed to report a system error  
(see Figure 23).  
To differentiate LOD and TEF signal from XERR pin, LOD can be masked out with BLANK = HIGH.

TEF: THERMAL ERROR FLAG  
The TLC5940 provides a temperature error flag (TEF) circuit to indicate an overtemperature condition of the IC. If  
the junction temperature exceeds the threshold temperature (160°C typical), TEF becomes H and XERR pin  
goes to low level. When the junction temperature becomes lower than the threshold temperature, TEF becomes  
L and XERR pin becomes high impedance. TEF status can also be read out from the TLC5940 status register.

LOD: LED OPEN DETECTION  
The TLC5940 has an LED-open detector that detects broken or disconnected LEDs. The LED open detector  
pulls the XERR pin to GND when an open LED is detected. XERR and the corresponding error bit in the Status  
Information Data is only active under the following open-LED conditions.  
1. OUTn is on and the time tpd2 (1 ms typical) has passed.  
2. The voltage of OUTn is < 0.3V (typical)  
The LOD status of each output can be also read out from the SOUT pin. See STATUS INFORMATION OUTPUT  
section for details. The LOD error bits are latched into the Status Information Data when XLAT returns to a low  
after a high. Therefore, the XLAT pin must be pulsed high then low while XERR is active in order to latch the  
LOD error into the Status Information Data for subsequent reading via the serial shift register.  
DELAY BETWEEN OUTPUTS  
The TLC5940 has graduated delay circuits between outputs. These circuits can be found in the constant current  
driver block of the device (see the functional block diagram). The fixed-delay time is 20ns (typical), OUT0 has no  
delay, OUT1 has 20ns delay, and OUT2 has 40ns delay, etc. The maximum delay is 300ns from OUT0 to  
OUT15. The delay works during switch on and switch off of each output channel. These delays prevent large  
inrush currents which reduces the bypass capacitors when the outputs turn on.  
OUTPUT ENABLE  
All OUTn channels of the TLC5940 can be switched off with one signal. When BLANK is set high, all OUTn  
channels are disabled, regardless of logic operations of the device. The grayscale counter is also reset. When  
BLANK is set low, all OUTn channels work under normal conditions. If BLANK goes low and then back high  
again in less than 300ns, all outputs programmed to turn on still turn on for either the programmed number of  
grayscale clocks, or the length of time that the BLANK signal was low, which ever is lower. For example, if all  
outputs are programmed to turn on for 1ms, but the BLANK signal is only low for 200ns, all outputs still turn on  
for 200ns, even though some outputs are turning on after the BLANK signal has already gone high.  
Table 3. BLANK Signal Truth Table

SETTING MAXIMUM CHANNEL CURRENT  
The maximum output current per channel is programmed by a single resistor, R(IREF), which is placed between  
IREF pin and GND pin. The voltage on IREF is set by an internal band gap V(IREF) with a typical value of  
1.24V. The maximum channel current is equivalent to the current flowing through R(IREF) multiplied by a factor of  
31.5. The maximum output current per channel can be calculated by Equation 6:  
V
(IREF)  
I
+
  31.5  
max  
R
(IREF)  
(6)  
where:  
V(IREF) = 1.24 V  
R(IREF) = User-selected external resistor.  
Imax must be set between 5 mA and 120 mA. The output current may be unstable if Imax is set lower than 5 mA.  
Output currents lower than 5 mA can be achieved by setting Imax to 5 mA or higher and then using dot  
correction.  
Figure 4 shows the maximum output current IO versus R(IREF). R(IREF) is the value of the resistor between IREF  
terminal to GND, and IO is the constant output current of OUT0 to OUT15. A variable power supply may be  
connected to the IREF pin through a resistor to change the maximum output current per channel. The maximum  
output current per channel is 31.5 times the current flowing out of the IREF pin.

OPERATING MODES  
The TLC5940 has operating modes depending on the signals DCPRG and VPRG. Table 4 shows the available  
operating modes. The TPS5940 GS operating mode (see Figure 12) and shift register values are not defined  
after power up. One solution to solve this is to set dot correction data after TLS5940 power-up and switch back  
to GS PWM mode. The other solution is to overflow the input shift register with 193 bits of dummy data and latch  
it while TLS540 is in GS PWM mode. The values in the input shift register, DC register and GS register are  
unknown just after power on. The DC and GS register values should be properly stored through the serial  
interface before starting the operation.

SETTING DOT CORRECTION  
The TLC5940 has the capability to fine adjust the output current of each channel OUT0 to OUT15 independently.  
This is also called dot correction. This feature is used to adjust the brightness deviations of LEDs connected to  
the output channels OUT0 to OUT15. Each of the 16 channels can be programmed with a 6-bit word. The  
channel output can be adjusted in 64 steps from 0% to 100% of the maximum output current Imax. Dot correction  
for all channels must be entered at the same time. Equation 8 determines the output current for each output n:

When VPRG is set to VCC, the TLC5940 enters the dot correction data input mode. The length of input shift  
register becomes 96 bits. After all serial data are shifted in, the TLC5940 writes the data in the input shift register  
to DC register when XLAT is high, and holds the data in the DC register when XLAT is low. The DC register is a  
level triggered latch of XLAT signal. Since XLAT is a level-triggered signal, SCLK and SIN must not be changed  
while XLAT is high. After XLAT goes low, data in the DC register is latched and does not change. BLANK signal  
does not need to be high to latch in new data. XLAT has setup time (tsu1) and hold time (th1) to SCLK as shown  
in Figure 16.

SETTING GRAYSCALE  
The TLC5940 can adjust the brightness of each channel OUTn using a PWM control scheme. The use of 12 bits  
per channel results in 4096 different brightness steps, respective 0% to 100% brightness. Equation 9 determines  
the brightness level for each output n:  
GSn  
4095  
Brightness in % +  
  100  
(9)  
where:  
GSn = the programmed grayscale value for output n (GSn = 0 to 4095)  
n = 0 to 15  
Grayscale data for all OUTn  
Figure 19 shows the grayscale data packet format which consists of 12 bits x 16 channels, totaling 192 bits. The  
format is Big-Endian format. This means that the MSB is transmitted first, followed by the MSB-1, etc.

the grayscale register (see Figure 12). New grayscale data immediately becomes valid at the rising edge of the  
XLAT signal; therefore, new grayscale data should be latched at the end of a grayscale cycle when BLANK is  
high.The first GS data input cycle after dot correction requires an additional SCLK pulse after the XLAT signal to  
complete the grayscale update cycle. All GS data in the input shift register is replaced with status information  
data (SID) after updated the grayscale register.  
STATUS INFORMATION OUTPUT  
The TLC5940 does have a status information register, which can be accessed in grayscale mode (VPRG=GND).  
After the XLAT signal latches the data into the GS register the input shift register data will be replaced with status  
information data (SID) of the device (see Figure 19). LOD, TEF, and dot correction EEPROM data  
(DCPRG=LOW) or dot correction register data (DCPRG=HIGH) can be read out at SOUT pin. The status  
information data packet is 192 bits wide. Bits 0-15 contain the LOD status of each channel. Bit 16 contains the  
TEF status. If DCPRG is low, bits 24-119 contain the data of the dot-correction EEPROM. If DCPRG is high, bits  
24-119 contain the data of the dot-correction register.The remaining bits are reserved. The complete status  
information data packet is shown in Figure 20.  
SOUT outputs the MSB of the SID at the same time the SID are stored in the SID register, as shown Figure 21.  
The next SCLK pulse, which will be the clock for receiving the SMB of the next grayscale data, transmits MSB-1  
of SID. If output voltage is < 0.3 V (typical) when the output sink current turns on, LOD status flage becomes  
active. The LOD status flag is an internal signal that pulls XERR pin down to low when the LOD status flag  
becomes active. The delay time, tpd2 (1 ms maximum), is from the time of turning on the output sink current to  
the time LOD status flage becomes valid. The timing for each channel's LOD status to become valid is shifted by  
the 30-ns (maximum) channel-to-channel turn-on time. After the first GSCLK goes high, OUT0 LOD status is  
valid; tpd3 + tpd2 = 60 ns + 1 ms. OUT1 LOD status is valid; tpd3 + td + tpd2 = 60 ns + 30 ns + 1 ms = 1.09 ms.  
OUT2 LOD status is valid; tpd3 + 2*td + tpd2 = 1.12 ms, and so on. It takes 1.51 ms maximum (tpd3 + 15*td +  
tpd2) from the first GSCLK rising edge until all LOD become valid; tsuLOD must be > 1.51 ms (see Figure 21) to  
ensure that all LOD data are valid.

GRAYSCALE PWM OPERATION  
The grayscale PWM cycle starts with the falling edge of BLANK. The first GSCLK pulse after BLANK goes low  
increases the grayscale counter by one and switches on all OUTn with grayscale value not zero. Each following  
rising edge of GSCLK increases the grayscale counter by one. The TLC5940 compares the grayscale value of  
each output OUTn with the grayscale counter value. All OUTn with grayscale values equal to the counter values  
are switched off. A BLANK=H signal after 4096 GSCLK pulses resets the grayscale counter to zero and  
completes the grayscale PWM cycle (see Figure 22). When the counter reaches a count of FFFh, the counter  
stops counting and all outputs turn off. Pulling BLANK high before the counter reaches FFFh immediately resets  
the counter to zero.
