TLC6C598PWR

Texas Instruments · LED Drivers · TSSOP-16

TLC6C598PWR from Texas Instruments, in a TSSOP-16. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VCC power_in Power supply pin for the device, recommended supply voltage range 3 V to 5.5 V.
2 SER_IN input Serial data input; data on SER_IN loads into the internal register on each rising edge of SRCK.
3 DRAIN0 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
4 DRAIN1 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
5 DRAIN2 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
6 DRAIN3 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
7 CLR input Shift register clear, active-low; storage register transfers data to output buffer when CLR is high; driving CLR low clears all registers in the device.
8 G input Output enable, active-low; having G low enables all drain channels according to output-latch register content; when G is high, all channels are off.
9 SER_OUT output Serial data output of the 8-bit serial shift register; purpose is to cascade several devices on the serial bus.
10 RCK input Register clock input; data in each shift register stage transfers to the storage register at the rising edge of RCK.
11 DRAIN4 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
12 DRAIN5 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
13 DRAIN6 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
14 DRAIN7 output Open-drain output LED current-sink channel with 50-mA continuous current or 200-mA PWM current capability at 5 V, 40-V rated, connect to LED cathode.
15 SRCK input Serial clock input; on each rising SRCK edge, data transfers from SER_IN to the internal serial shift registers.
16 GND power_in Power ground, the ground reference pin for the device; must connect to the ground plane on the PCB.
