TLC59116 with two power sources

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLC59116

Dear TI team,

Status:

I2C and other control inputs are supplied with 5V. LEDs are powered externaly with 15V. All LED Cathodes are connected to OUTx of TLC59116. Additionally a 1000µF capacitor is connected in parallel to 15V supply.

Question:

If both power supplies are beeing switched off at the same time, the drivers 5V power supply goes down but the 15V power supply remains for some seconds (=2 to 10 seconds at 15V due to the capacitor. So the driver is not powered any more but the OUTx pin are still connected to 15V. Is that a problem ?

Regards

Gerd
