TLC59108: Flicker in Parallel Outputs

Hirotsugu Kobayashi

Part Number: TLC59108

Hi, team.

When TLC59108 is used in parallel as shown in the data sheet Fig24, flicker occurs.

What would be your first advice when troubleshooting?

Best Regards,

    Hi Hirotsugu,

    Could you capture the waveform plot of output current when flicker occurs? It is better to save it with the VCC/output voltage together.

    And what is your settings of the device? Like VCC/VLED/output current/PWM.

    Hi Hardy,

    The output current waveform cannot be measured at present.

    The settings are as follows

     Vcc=3.3V

     VLED=15V

     Iour(Rext)=100mA(188-ohm)

     PWM:50/100/255

    Since there is only one LED, there is enough headroom voltage.

    Is there any flickering when using with multiple channels?

    Best Regards,

    Hi Hirotsugu,

    It should be OK when using multiple channels. I think there are some noise influenced output current so I want to check current waveform.And the setting in EVM also can work normally. What is the flickering looks like? Is it flick quickly or periodically? Could you try only 1 channel or set dowm the PWM to see if the flickering still exist?
