5 Pin Configuration and Functions

RGE Package24-Pin VQFN(Top View)

Pin FunctionsPIN

I/O DESCRIPTIONNAME NO.

BLANK 18 I

BLANK PIN, has two configures:When FC9(BLANK Mode) = 0, Blank pin worked as SOUT select pin:a. When BLANK = Low, SOUT is connected to the bit 7 of the 16-bit shift register, worked as 8ch

device;b. When BLANK = High, SOUT is connected to the bit 15 of the 16-bit shift register, worked as

16ch device;When FC9(BLANK Mode) = 1, Blank pin worked as OUTPUT enable pin;a. When BLANK = Low, all constant current outputs are controlled by the on/off control data in the

data latch.b. When BLANK = High, all OUTx are forced off

GND 22 — Ground

IREF 20 I/O

Maximum current programming terminal.A resistor connected between IREF and GND sets the maximum current for every constant-currentoutput. When this terminal is directly connected to GND, all outputs are forced off. The externalresistor should be placed close to the device and must be in the range of 1.32 kΩ to 66 kΩ.

LAT 1 I

Data latch.The rising edge of LAT latches the data from the common shift register into the output on/off datalatch. At the same time, the data in the common shift register are replaced with SID, which isselected by SIDLD. See the Output On/Off Data Latch section and Status Information Data (SID)section for more details.

8 Detailed Description

8.1 OverviewThe TLC59291 is a 8/16-channel constant current sink LED driver. Each channel can be turned on-off by writingdata to an internal register. The constant current value of all 16 channels is set by a single external resistor and128 steps for the global brightness control (BC).

The TLC59291 has six type error flags: LED open detection (LOD), LED short detection (LSD), output leakdetection (OLD), reference terminal short detection (ISF), Pre thermal warning (PTW) and thermal error flag(TEF). In addition, the LOD and LSD functions have invisible detection mode (IDM) that can detect those errorseven when the output is off. The error detection results can be read via a serial interface port.

8.3 Feature Description

8.3.1 Maximum Constant Sink CurrentThe maximum output current of each channel (IO(LCmax)) is programmed by a single resistor (RIREF) that is placedbetween the IREF and GND pins. The current value can be calculated by Equation 1:

Where:VIREF = the internal reference voltage on IREF (typically 1.205 V when the global brightness controldata are at maximum.IO(LCmax) = 1 mA to 40 mA ( VCC ≤ 3.6 V), or 1 mA to 50 mA (VCC > 3.6 V) at OUT0 to OUT15 (BC =7Fh) (1)

IO(LCmax) is the highest current for each output. Each output sinks IO(LCmax) current when it is turned on with themaximum global brightness control (BC) data. Each output sink current can be reduced by lowering the globalbrightness control value. RIREF must be between 1.32 kΩ and 66 kΩ to hold IO(LCmax) between 50 mA (typical) and1 mA (typical). Otherwise, the output may be unstable. Output currents lower than 1 mA can be achieved bysetting IO(LCmax) to 1 mA or higher and then using the global brightness control to lower the output current.

Figure 14 and Table 1 show the characteristics of the constant-current sink versus the external resistor, RIREF.

8.3.2 Global Brightness Control (BC) FunctionThe TLC59291 has the ability to adjust the output current of all constant current outputs simultaneously. Thisfunction is called global brightness control (BC). The global BC for all outputs (OUT0 to OUT15) can be set witha 7-bit word. The global BC adjusts all output currents in 128 steps from 0% to 100%. where 100% correspondsto the maximum output current set by RIREF. Equation 2 calculates the actual output current. BC data can be setvia the serial interface.

Where:IO(LCmax) = the maximum constant-current value for each output determined by RIREF.BC = the global brightness control value in the control data latch (0h to 127d) (2)

Table 2 shows the BC data versus the constant-current ratio against IO(LCmax).

8.3.3 Thermal Shutdown (TSD) and Thermal Error Flag (TEF)The thermal shutdown (TSD) function turns off all constant-current outputs when the junction temperature (TJ)exceeds the threshold (TTEF = 165°C, typical) and sets all LOD data bit to ‘1’. When the junction temperaturedrops below (TTEF – THYST), the output control starts. The TEF is remains ‘1’ until LAT is input even if lowtemperature. Figure 6 shows a timing diagram and Table 3 shows a truth table for TEF.

8.3.4 Pre-Thermal Warning (PTW)The PTW function indicates that the IC junction temperature is high. The PTW is set and all LSD data bit are setto “1” while the IC junction temperature exceeds the temperature threshold (TPTW = 138 °C, typical). Then OUTnare not forced off. When the PTW is set, the IC temperature should be reduced by lowering the power dissipatedin the driver to avoid a forced shutdown by the thermal shutdown circuit. This reduction can be accomplished bylowering the values of the BC data. When the IC junction temperature decreases below the temperature of TPTW,PTW is reset. Figure 6 shows a timing diagram and Table 3 shows a truth table for PTW.

8.3.5 Current Reference Terminal – IREF Terminal - Short Flag (ISF)The ISF function indicates that IREF terminal is short to GND with low impedance. When IREF is set, all OLDdata bit is set to “1”. Then all outputs (OUTn) are forced off and remain off until the short is removed. Table 3shows the truth table for ISF.

8.3.6 Noise ReductionLarge surge currents may flow through the IC and the board on which the device is mounted if all 16 outputs turnon simultaneously when BLANK goes low or on-off data changes at LAT rising edge with BLANK low. Theselarge current surges could induce detrimental noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) into other circuits.The TLC59291 turns the outputs on in 2ns series delay for each output to provide a circuit soft-start feature.

8.4 Device Functional Modes

8.4.1 Blank Mode Selection (BLKMS)The device has two configuration for BLANK pin, which is decided by BIT[9] in FC register. When BLANK mode= 1, the device is in ENABLE mode, BLANK pin is worked as OUTPUT enable pin: when BLANK=Low, allconstant current outputs are controlled by the on/off control data in the data latch; when BLANK=High, all OUTxare forced off.

When BLANK mode = 0, the device is in SOUT mode, BLANK pin is worked as SOUT select pin; when BLANK=Low, SOUT is connected to the bit7 of the 16-bit shift register, worked as 8 channel device; when BLANK= High,SOUT is connected to the bit15 of the 16-bit shift register, worked as 16ch device. If device is already inENABLE mode and we want to switch to SOUT mode, the new FC data with BIT[9]=0 must be input. Then itenter SOUT mode.

If device is already in SOUT mode and the user wants to switch to ENABLE mode. First make sure BLANK pin ishigh, SOUT is connected with bit15 of common shift register. Then input the new FC data with BIT[9] = 1. Thedevice enters ENABLE mode

When the IC is powered on, SOUT mode is selected as default value. Refer to table 7 for detail.

8.4.2 Power-Save ModeIn this mode, the device dissipation current becomes 30 µA (typical). When “PSMODE” bit is ‘1’, the power savemode is enabled. Then if LAT rising edge is input to write all ‘0’ data into the output on-off data latch or to writeany data into the control data latch when the on-off data latch are all ‘0’, TLC5929 goes into the power savemode. When SCLK rising edge is input, the device returns to normal operation. The power-save mode timing isshown in Figure 7.

8.4.3 LED Open Detection (LOD)LOD detects the fault caused by LED open circuit or a short from OUTn to ground by comparing the OUTnvoltage to the LOD detection threshold voltage level (VLOD = 0.3 V typical). If the OUTn voltage is lower thanVLOD, that output LOD bit is set to '1' to indicate an open LED. Otherwise, the LOD bit is set to '0'. LOD data areonly valid for outputs programmed to be on. LOD data for outputs programmed to be off are always '0' (Table11).

The LOD data are stored into a 16-bit register called SID holder at BLANK rising edge when “SIDLD” bits is setto ‘01b’ (Table6) or when Invisible Detection Mode (IDM) is enabled, the LOD data are stored to SID holder atthe end timing of IDM working time.

The stored LOD data can be read out through the common shift register as Status Information Data (SID) fromSOUT pin. LOD/LSD data are not valid until 0.5 µs after the falling edge of BLANK.

8.4.4 LED Short Detection (LSD)LSD data detects the fault caused by a shorted LED by comparing the OUTn voltage to the LSD detection If theOUTn voltage is higher than the programmed voltage, that output LSD bit is set to '1' to indicate a shorted LED.Otherwise, the LSD bit is set to'0'. LSD data are only valid for outputs programmed to be on. LSD data foroutputs programmed to be off are always '0' (Table 4).

The LSD data are stored into a 16-bit register called SID holder at BLANK rising edge when “SIDLD” bits is set to‘10b’ (Table6) or when Invisible Detection Mode (IDM) is enabled, the LSD data are stored to SID holder at theend timing of IDM working time. The stored LSD data can be read out through the common shift register asStatus Information Data (SID) from SOUT pin. LOD/LSD data are not stabled until 0.5 µs after the falling edge ofBLANK. Therefore, BLANK must be low for at least that time.

The LSD need to be executed after propagation delay, “td4” or more from the device operation resumed from thepower save mode because LOD does not work during the power save mode.

Device Functional Modes (continued)8.4.5 Invisible Detection Mode (IDM)Invisible Detection Mode (IDM) is the mode which can detect LOD and LSD when output on-off data is set to offstate. When “IDMCUR” bit in the control data latch are set any data except “00b”, OUTn start to sink the currentset by the “IDMCUR” bit at BLANK falling edge and OUTn stop to sink the current at BLANK rising signal or thetime set by “IDMTIM” has passed. When OUTn is stopped, the selected SID data by “SIDLD” bit are latched tointo SID holder.

When IDM mode is enabled, OLD is always set to disable. When “IDMCUR” bit in the control data latch is set“00b”, OUTn doesn’t start to sink the current set. Figure 29 shows LOD/LSD/OLD/IDM circuit. Figure 8 showsIDM operation timing and Table 5 shows a truth table for LOD/LSD/OLD.

IDM can only be working when FC[9] = 1.

8.4.6 Output Leakage Detection (OLD)Output leak detection (OLD) detects a fault caused by OUTn is short to GND with high resistance by comparingthe OUTn voltage to the LSD detection threshold voltage when output on-off data is set to off state. Also OLDcan detect the short between adjacent pins. Small current is sourced from OUTn turned off to LED to detect LEDleaking when “SIDLD” bit are ‘11b’ and BLANK is low. OLD operation is disabled when SIDLD bit are set anydata except “11b” and then the sourced current is stopped. Also OLD is disabled when Invisible Detection Mode(IDM) is enabled. If the OUTn voltage is lower than the programmed LSD threshold voltage, that output OLD bitis set to '1' to indicate a leaking LED. Otherwise, the OLD bit is set to '0'. OLD result is valid for outputsprogrammed to off only. The OLD data is latched into SID holder when BLANK goes high. OLD data for outputsnot programmed to off are always '0'. The OLD need to be executed after propagation delay, “td4” or more fromthe device operation resumed from the power save mode because OLD does not work during the power savemode.

Figure 29. LOD/LSD/OLD/IDM Circuit

8.4.7 Status Information Data (SID)The status information data (SID) contains the status of the LED Open Detection (LOD), LED Short Detection(LSD), Output Leakage Detection (OLD), Pre-Thermal Warning (PTW), Thermal Shutdown (TSD) and ThermalError Flag (TEF) and Current Reference Terminal – IREF Terminal - Short Flag (ISF). The loaded SID data canbe selected by “SIDLD” bits in the control data latch. When the MSB of the common shift register is set to '0', theselected SID overwrites lower 16-bit data in the common shift register data at the rising edge of LAT after thedata in the common shift register are copied to the output on-off data latch. If the common shift register MSB is'1', the selected SID does not overwrite the 16-bit data in the common shift register

Device Functional Modes (continued)After being copied into the common shift register, new SID data are not available until new data are written intothe common shift register. If new data are not written, the LAT signal is ignored. To recheck SID withoutchanging the on-off control data, reprogram the common shift register with the same data currently programmedinto the on-off data latch. When LAT goes high, the output on-off data is not changed, but new SID data areloaded into the common shift register. LOD, LSD, OLD, PTW, TEF, ISF are shifted out of SOUT with each risingedge of SCLK. The SID need to be read out after td4 or more from the device operation resumed from the powersave mode.

The SID reading must be delayed for a duration of tD4 or more after the device resumes operation from thepower-save mode because SID does not indicate correct data during the power-save mode. The SID loadconfiguration and SID read timing are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 30, respectively.

8.5 Register Maps

8.5.1 Register and Data Latch ConfigurationThe TLC59291 has one common shift register and two control data latch. The common shift register is 16-bits inlength and two control data latch is 16-bits length. When SCLK is '0' at LAT rising edge, the 16-bits common shiftregister are copied into the output on-off data latch. Also when SCLK is '1' at LAT rising edge the 16-bits data arecopied into the control data latch. Figure 31 shows the common shift register and two control data latchesconfiguration.

Register Maps (continued)8.5.1.1 Common Shift RegisterThe 16-bit common shift register is used to shift data from the SIN pin into the TLC59291. The data shifted intothe register are used for the data writing for output on-off control, global brightness control, and some functionscontrol. The register LSB is connected to SIN. On each SCLK rising edge, the data on SIN are shifted into theregister LSB and all bits are shifted towards the MSB.

SOUT can be connected to either bit 15 or bit 7 of common shift register depending on BLANK signal and controldata setting.

Also Status Information Data (SID) selected by the load select data in the control data latch are loaded to thecommon shift register when LAT rising edge is input with SCLK is “0” of the shift register.

When the device powered up, the data in the 16-bit common shift register is set to all “0”.

8.5.1.2 Output On/Off Data LatchThe output on/off data latch is 16 bits long and sets the on or off status for each constant-current output.

When FC[9] = 1 and BLANK is high, all outputs are forced off. But then the data in the latch are not changed. Inother case, the corresponding output is turned on if the data in the output on-off data latch are '1' and remains offif the data are '0'.

When the IC is initially powered on, the data in the data latch is set to all “0”.

The output on/off data latch configuration is shown in Figure 32 and the data bit assignment is shown in Table 6.

8.5.1.4 Output On/Off Data Write Timing and Output ControlWhen SCLK = “0” at LAT rising edge, the output on-off data can be updated with the 16-bit data in the shiftregister after the data are stored to the shift register using SIN and SCLK signals. When the on-off data latch isupdated, SID is loaded into the shift register except SID load control is “00b”. See Figure 11.

When BLANK = SOUT mode, the timing is show in Figure 12.

8.5.1.5 Function Control Data WritingWhen SCLK = “1” at LAT rising edge, the control data latch can be updated with the 16-bit data in the shiftregister after the data are stored to the shift register using SIN and SCLK signals. When the control data latch isupdated, SID is not loaded into the shift register.

If the device is in SOUT mode (FC[9] = 0) and BLANK = Low, SOUT is connected with BIT 7 of common shiftregister. Then FC data can’t be input and not valid. See Figure 13

9 Application and Implementation

NOTEInformation in the following applications sections is not part of the TI componentspecification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers areresponsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers shouldvalidate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application InformationThe device is a 8/16-channel, constant sink current, LED driver. This device is typically connected in series todrive many LED lamps with only a few controller ports. On/Off control data and FC control data can be writtenfrom the SIN input terminal. The device has six type error flags: LED open detection (LOD), LED short detection(LSD), output leak detection (OLD), reference terminal short detection (ISF), Pre themal warning (PTW) andthermal error flag (TEF).

9.2 Typical ApplicationIn this application, the device VCC and LED lamp anode voltages are supplied from different power supplies.

Figure 36. Multiple Daisy-chained TLC59291 Devices

9.2.1 Design RequirementsThe parameters for the design example are shown in Table 16.

Table 16. Design ParametersPARAMETER VALUE

VCC input voltage range 3 V to 5.5 VLED lamp (VLED) input voltage range Maximum LED forward voltage (VF) + 0.3 V (knee voltage)

SIN, SCLK, LAT, and GSCLK voltage range Low level = GND, High level = VCC

9.2.2 Detailed Design ProcedureTo begin the design process, a few parameters must be decided upon. The designer needs to know thefollowing:• Maximum output constant-current value for each color LED lamp.• Maximum LED forward voltage (VF).• Which error flags are used.

9.2.3 Application Curves

Figure 37. Output Waveform When BLANK_Mode = 0 Figure 38. Output Waveform When BLANK_Mode = 1

10 Power Supply RecommendationsThe VCC power supply voltage should be decoupled by placing a 0.1-µF ceramic capacitor close to the VCC pinand GND plane. Depending on the panel size, several electrolytic capacitors must be placed on the boardequally distributed to get a well regulated LED supply voltage (VLED). The VLED voltage ripple must be less than5% of it nominal value. Futhremore, the VLED must be set to the voltage calculated by Equation 3.

VLED > VF + 0.4 V (10-mA constant-current example) (3)

Where• VF = maximum forward voltage of all LEDs.

11 Layout

11.1 Layout Guidelines• Place the decoupling capacitor near the VCC pin and GND plane• Place the current programming resistor RIREF close to the IREF pin an the IREFGND pin.• Route the GND pattern as widely as possible for large GND currents.• The routing wire between the LED cathode side and the device OUTXn pin must be as short and straight as

possible to reduce wire inductance.• When several ICs are chained, symmetric placements are recommended.

TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designersremain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers havefull and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI productsused in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, withrespect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerousconsequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm andtake appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer willthoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended toassist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in anyway, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resourcesolely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TIproducts, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specificallydescribed in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications thatinclude the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource.

Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers mustensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products inlife-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., lifesupport, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, allmedical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applicationsand that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatoryrequirements in connection with such selection.Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
