Hi,

Are MSP430 microcontrollers suitable for use with TLC59581?

We are developing an 16x6 LED matrix for our application

Hi Akash,

could you please provide more information about your application?

maximum current per channel
application condition
common anode/cathode LED
Vled
...

We have two new devices (TLC6983, LP5890), it is all-in-one structure which can achieve multiplexing with external switches. One device can drive 16*16 RGB LED matrix and both can be controlled by MSP430. if the information is not public, you can send it to my email(monet-xu@ti.com).

Hi Monet,

maximum current per channel - 20mA
application condition - 16x6 BiColour LED Matrix (Blue + Red)
common anode/cathode LED - Common anode

The application is to glow all LEDs in Blue except one which would be glowing Red

Hi Akash,

LP5860 is the more suitable for you application which supports common anode LED and multiplexing function. And one device can drive up to 11*18 LEDs and don't need external switches.
