3 Description
In automotive cluster and other safety-critical LED
driver applications, the performance demand for
multi-channel LED is increasing to achieve
consistency of LED brightness and color temperature.
System-level safety considerations require detection
capability for various fault scenarios and thus
increase system complexity.
The TLC6C5712-Q1 device is a 12-channel constant-
current-sink LED driver. The precision output current
with 8-bit dot correction makes the TLC6C5712-Q1
device a perfect solution to correct LED brightness
and color temperature variation. Advanced protection
and diagnostics for each component improve system-
level robustness and ease safety-oriented design. Six
PWM inputs with programmable mapping support
different LED color-dimming configurations and
provide a high dimming ratio. A 16-bit serial-
peripheral interface (SPI with diagnostics supports
multiple devices in a daisy chain and eases the
system-level design.
