The TLC59116FIRHBR is an IC component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It is a 16-channel constant-current LED driver that is designed to control the brightness of LEDs in a variety of applications such as LCD backlighting, automotive lighting, and general-purpose indicator lights. Here are the key features of the TLC59116FIRHBR:
1. 16 Channels: The TLC59116FIRHBR can control up to 16 individual LEDs or LED segments simultaneously. This makes it suitable for applications that require multiple independent LED outputs.
2. Constant-Current Output: Each channel of the TLC59116FIRHBR provides a constant-current sink output. This ensures consistent brightness levels across LEDs despite changes in forward voltage drops or power supply variations.
3. Wide Voltage Range: The IC has a wide operating voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V, making it compatible with a variety of low voltage power supplies commonly used in electronic devices.
4. Serial Interface: The TLC59116FIRHBR features a compatible I2C interface, allowing for easy integration into digital systems. This interface facilitates control and configuration of the LED outputs without the need for external components.
5. High Output Current: Each channel of the TLC59116FIRHBR can sink up to 35 mA of current, making it suitable for driving medium to high power LEDs
