DESCRIPTION
The TLC5941 is a 16-channel, constant-current sink,
LED driver. Each channel has an individually adjust-
able 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. 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 TLC5941 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 con-
dition.
