TLC5948 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The TLC5948 is a 16-channel LED driver chip manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features 16-bit grayscale (GS) PWM control for precise brightness adjustments.

 

This chip also provides 7-bit dot correction (DC) PWM control and 7-bit global brightness (BC) current-based control, allowing for fine-tuning of LED output. Communication with the TLC5948 is handled via an SPI-like interface with a latch.

 

While the data is referred to as grayscale, it represents brightness information per channel, making it suitable for use with RGB LEDs as well. The library supporting this chip is compatible with Arduino Nano and Uno, with support for Teensy 4.0 planned.
