•
256-Step (8-Bit) Linear Programmable
Brightness Per LED Output Varying From Fully
Off (Default) to Maximum Brightness Using a
97-kHz PWM Signal
•
256-Step Group Brightness Control Allows
General Dimming (Using a 190-Hz PWM Signal
From Fully Off to Maximum Brightness
(Default)
•
256-Step Group Blinking With Frequency
Programmable From 24 Hz to 10.73 s and Duty
Cycle From 0% to 99.6%
•
Four Hardware Address Pins Allow 14
TLC59108 Devices to be Connected to the
Same I
2
C Bus
•
Four Software-Programmable I
2
C Bus
Addresses (One LED Group Call Address and
Three LED Sub Call Addresses) Allow Groups
of Devices to be Addressed at the Same Time
in Any Combination. For Example, One
Register Used for All Call, so That All the
TLC59108 Devices on the I
2
C Bus Can be
Addressed at the Same Time, and the Second
Register Can be Used for Three Different
Addresses so That One-Third of All Devices on
the Bus Can be Addressed at the Same Time
in a Group.

DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The TLC59108 is an I
2
C bus controlled 8-bit LED driver that is optimized for red/green/blue/amber (RGBA) color
mixing and backlight application for amusement products. Each LED output has its own 8-bit resolution
(256 steps) fixed-frequency individual PWM controller that operates at 97 kHz, with a duty cycle that is adjustable
from 0% to 99.6%. The individual PWM controller allows each LED to be set to a specific brightness value. An
additional 8-bit resolution (256 steps) group PWM controller has both a fixed frequency of 190 Hz and an
adjustable frequency between 24 Hz to once every 10.73 seconds, with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0%
to 99.6%. The group PWM controller dims or blinks all LEDs with the same value.
