TLC59116: TLC59116F as in place replacement of the TLC59116

Part Number: TLC59116

Hi,

TLC59116 is almost unavailable, TLC59116F has better sourcing/availability. I want just to ask if I can consider the TLC59116F Led driver as an in-place replacement of the TLC59116.  As I can see, they are pin-to-pin compatible as well and only the sink current seems to be really different. Chip capabilities are most likely the same.

Best regards,

Mikael 

  • Hi, Michael,

    The biggest difference is that TLC59116F is Open-Drain Output while TLC59116 is constant current sink.

    So TLC59116F does not need a Rext to set the current but use Rset to set the output current:

    Thanks.
