SBVS129A May 2009 – July 2018 TLC5952
PRODUCTION DATA.
Large surge currents may flow through the device and the board on which the device is mounted if all 24 LED channels turn on simultaneously when BLANK goes low. These large current surges could induce detrimental noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI) into other circuits. The TLC5952 turns the LED channels on in a series delay to provide a circuit soft-start feature.
A small delay circuit is implemented between each output. When all bits of the on-off data latch are set to 1, each constant-current output turns on in order (OUTR0, OUTG0, OUTB0, OUTR1, OUTG1, OUTB1, OUTR2–OUTB6, OUTR7, OUTG7, and OUTB7) with a small delay between each output after BLANK goes low or LAT goes high; see Figure 38. Both turnon and turnoff are delayed.
