Bit 7 is first sent into TLC592x-Q1 via SDI. Bits 1 to 7 {HC, CC[0:5]} determine the voltage gain (VG) that affects
the voltage at R-EXT and indirectly affects the reference current, I_ref, flowing through the external resistor at R-
EXT. Bit 0 is the Current Multiplier (CM) that determines the ratio I_OUT,target / I_ref. Each combination of VG and CM
gives a specific Current Gain (CG).
• VG: the relationship between {HC,CC[0:5]} and the voltage gain is calculated as:
VG = (1 + HC) × (1 + D/64) / 4
(6)
D = CC0 × 2⁵ + CC1 × 2⁴ + CC2 × 2³ + CC3 × 2² + CC4 × 2¹ + CC5 × 2⁰
(7)
Where HC is 1 or 0, and D is the binary value of CC[0:5]. So, the VG could be regarded as a floating-point
number with 1-bit exponent HC and 6-bit mantissa CC[0:5]. {HC,CC[0:5]} divides the programmable voltage
gain VG into 128 steps and two sub-bands:
Low voltage sub-band (HC = 0): VG = 1/4 ~ 127/256, linearly divided into 64 steps
High voltage sub-band (HC = 1): VG = 1/2 ~ 127/128, linearly divided into 64 steps
• CM: In addition to determining the ratio I_OUT,target/I_ref, CM limits the output current range.
High Current Multiplier (CM = 1): I_OUT,target/I_ref = 15, suitable for output current range I_OUT = 10 mA to 120 mA.
Low Current Multiplier (CM = 0): I_OUT,target/I_ref = 5, suitable for output current range I_OUT = 5 mA to 40 mA
• CG: The total Current Gain is defined as the following.
V_R-EXT = 1.26 V × VG
I_ref = V_R-EXT/R_ext, if the external resistor, R_ext, is connected to ground.
I_OUT,target = I_ref × 15 × 3^{CM – 1} = 1.26 V/R_ext × VG × 15 × 3^{CM – 1} = (1.26 V/R_ext × 15) × CG
CG = VG × 3^{CM – 1}

Therefore, CG = (1/12) to (127/128) divided into 256 steps.
Examples
• Configuration Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} = {1,1,111111}
VG = 127/128 = 0.992 and CG = VG × 3⁰ = VG = 0.992
• Configuration Code = {1,1,000000}
VG = (1 + 1) × (1 + 0/64)/4 = 1/2 = 0.5, and CG = 0.5
• Configuration Code = {0,0,000000}
VG = (1 + 0) × (1 + 0/64)/4 = 1/4, and CG = (1/4) × 3^–1 = 1/12
After power on, the default value of the Configuration Code {CM, HC, CC[0:5]} is {1,1,111111}. Therefore,
VG = CG = 0.992. The relationship between the Configuration Code and the Current Gain is shown in Figure 17.
