TLC59116: Using TLC59116 to replace TLC59116F

Part Number: TLC59116

Hi expert,

My customer want to know if we can use TLC59116 to replace TLC59116F. As I know, TLC59116F is a on/off part and need external resistor. And for Rext pin of TLC59116, if this pin could be floating since TLC59116F didn't have Rext pin. Thanks!!

Best regards,

Ann Lien

  • Hi, Ann,

    You can't leave the Rext floating, as you can see from datasheet for this pin function:
    "Input terminal used to connect an external resistor for setting up all output currents".

    So you need to connect a resistor to set the output current.

    If you think this solves your problem, please help to click "Resolve".

    Thanks.
    Regards,
