TLC5947: Alternative part

Gerald

Part Number: TLC5947
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP55281, TLC5951, TLC59116, TLC5941, TLC5940

Hi Experts,

May I ask for help? I am looking for an available alternative of TLC5947 for our customer. 

The specific features they are interested in are the following:
- SPI interface (or control interface with max 4 wires)
- Constant current sink
- Channels can be combined to increase the power output capability of the chip
- Enough channels able to provide enough power to drive at least 4 LEDs at 150mA (combining channels)
- Cascadable (as many slave devices as possible)
- Individually controllable and dimmable via PWM
- Internal PWM clock
- Thermal shutdown and thermal pad for heat dissipation are desireable
- Maximum voltage applied to output as high as possible is a bonus

This should be it in terms of specification - for your reference, we are looking to control the chip using the Teknic ClearCore industrial motion controller: www.teknic.com/.../clearcore_user_manual.pdf

I have found LP55281, but was not sure if this will fit. If this wont fit, please help us by suggesting a better product that can meet the above requirements. Thank you so much.

Kind regards,
Gerald

    Hi Gerald,

    If customer are looking for the device similar with TLC5947, TLC5951 which is also a 24-channel PWM output device with series digital interface could be recommended. With similar protocol, some high current but less channel number device like TLC5940 / TLC5941 should be OK. If customer can accept bus protocol like I2C, TLC59116 can also meet other requirements.
