TLC5620CDRG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLC5620CDRG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-on sequence for the TLC5620?
  The recommended power-on sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VREF, and then the digital inputs. This ensures proper device operation and prevents latch-up.
• How do I ensure accurate DAC output voltage levels?
  To ensure accurate DAC output voltage levels, make sure to use a stable and accurate voltage reference (VREF) and maintain a low impedance output load. Additionally, consider using an external buffer amplifier if the output load requires a high current drive.
• What is the maximum clock frequency for the TLC5620?
  The maximum clock frequency for the TLC5620 is 40 MHz. However, the actual clock frequency may be limited by the specific application and system requirements.
• Can I use the TLC5620 with a 3.3V supply voltage?
  Yes, the TLC5620 can operate with a 3.3V supply voltage. However, the output voltage range will be limited to 0-3.3V, and the device's performance may be affected at lower supply voltages.
• How do I handle the power-down mode (PD) pin?
  The power-down mode (PD) pin should be tied to a logic high (VCC) or left floating to enable normal device operation. Tying the PD pin to a logic low (GND) will put the device in power-down mode, reducing power consumption but also disabling the DAC output.
