Part Number: TLC5947

Hi team,

My customer considers to use 10pcs of TLC5947.

Figure.23 shows that the device can be connected by daisy chain.

How many devices can be connected and what is factor of the limitation?

I'm looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best regards,

Hi Shota,

Sorry that I deleted the reply by mistake, so I re-post it again.

In theory the cascade number should be infinite. But due to the limitation of data transmission speed, the display may have synchronous issue between beginning ICs with end ICs, in large amounts applications. It was limited by customer's MCU GPIO speed. I think 10pcs is totally OK.

Because of the holidays, TI E2E™ design support forum responses will be delayed from Dec. 25 through Jan. 2. Thank you for your patience.
