TLC5944/about unused pin

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLC5944

Hi,

Could you tell me about TLC5944 terminal processing?
How should the unused output pin process it?
And, Is the data output may be 0 (000000b)?

I will listed below the use conditions of the customer.
・Customers use only OUT1~3 plan.
・Attach the circuit image below.

  • Hi Yusuke-san,

    For TLC5944 unused output, we will suggest pull down to GND.

    All the GS data are random when powered up.

    Let me know if you need more.

    Best regards,

  • Feifei-san,

    Thank you for your support.
    Let me ask you one more thing.

    ・Is the open processing non-recommended?
    (Also, please tell me the reason.)

    ・Let me know the details about your advice.
    「All the GS data are random when powered up.」
    Customer is using the terminal of OUT0~3.
    When the customer is using OUT0~3,
    I want to know the register settings of the remaining unused pins(OUT4~15).

    Could you give me your advice?

  • Hi Yusuke-san,

    See my input below:

    ・Is the open processing non-recommended?

    [Feifei]: Yes, it may increase the Icc of LED drivers due to internal circuit.

    ・Let me know the details about your advice.

    [Feifei]: If possible, suggest sending GS Data = 00h to OUT4~15.

  • Feifei-san,

    Thank you for your kind support.

    Before your advice,
    The customer had made the board.
    For this reason, customer had to open the OUT4-15pin.

    This case,
    Does this device works protection?
    Could you tell me the other issues?

    Also, please tell me the recommended value of the pull-down resistor.
