TLC59213AIPW datasheet by Texas Instruments

TLC59213AIPW Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum current rating for each output channel?
  The TLC59213AIPW has a maximum current rating of 25mA per output channel, with a total device current rating of 150mA.
• How do I ensure proper thermal management for this device?
  Proper thermal management can be achieved by providing a heat sink or a thermal pad on the exposed pad of the QFN package, and ensuring good airflow around the device. The maximum junction temperature (TJ) is 150°C.
• What is the recommended clock frequency for the TLC59213AIPW?
  The recommended clock frequency for the TLC59213AIPW is up to 30 MHz, but it can operate at frequencies up to 50 MHz with reduced performance.
• How do I handle the LED output enable (OE) pin?
  The OE pin is an active-low input that enables or disables the LED outputs. When OE is low, the outputs are enabled, and when OE is high, the outputs are disabled. It's recommended to tie OE to a logic level or use a pull-down resistor to ensure proper operation.
• What is the purpose of the VCC pin, and how should it be connected?
  The VCC pin is the power supply pin for the internal logic and should be connected to a 3.3V or 5V power supply. It's recommended to use a decoupling capacitor (e.g., 0.1uF) between VCC and GND to ensure stable operation.
