TLC6C5748-Q1: the number that can be daisy-chained

Part Number: TLC6C5748-Q1

Hi team,

Could you teach how many this device can be daisy-chained?

I think there are limitation of this number because people can see LEDs control with the more daisy-chained devices, the slower serial data speed.

If you have some data of many daisy-chained devices, please share me?

How many device you want to use in your system, there will be infinite in principle.

10 or 11 devices.

In this case, you do not have any concern?

Best regards,

Yamamoto

If all device is in one board, i think it's ok .

Hello Frank,

I have the same question here, except for in my case we will have 28 devices daisy-chained together. Your above answer seems to indicate that as long as the parasitic capacitance is low enough (e.g. all devices are on the same board not going through a long connector), then this isn't a concern.

Do we happen to have a specific limitation with regards to the amount of parasitic capacitance that can be handled? Moreover have we analyzed just how many devices can be daisy-chained together on the same board before noticeable issues occur?

Regards,

Andy

Hi Andy, it's hard to generally talk about the limitation about the quantity of device in daisy-chain, whether off-board, the length of SCLK and GCLK trace and some other conditions all effect it. Our PL is preparing an Design note for it but not finish. If you have a real case, you can directly send the schematic to Charles Chen(expert for 5748), and i can tell you that we have already supported a case that used 40pcs of 5748 in one bus.
