3 Description

TLC696x1-Q1 is a 16-channel, constant current sink

driver. Each device integrates 16 constant current

sinks with SRAM for brightness storage. The device

connects to each other by two-wire serial interface in

daisy chain topology and supports up to 1024 devices

for 16,000 local dimming zones.

To optimize system efficiency, the device is equipped

with adaptive headroom voltage control scheme to

directly control DC/DC. Only the FB pin from last

device in serial chain should be connected to DC/DC

to achieve simplified system layout. The device also

integrates minimum brightness update latency, black

insertion and VRR features to improve display quality.

TLC696x1-Q1 has three error flags: LED open

detection (LOD), LED short detection (LSD) and

thermal shutdown detection (TSD) for diagnostic. The

device implements two options for readback including

UART/INT and SOUT/CLK_O which is programmable

by register.
