10.2.2.3 SCLK and GCLK Frequency

SCLK is the serial data shift-in clock signal; and GCLK is the PWM-control reference-clock signal. Equation 3 shows the minimum frequency requirement for GCLK and SCLK. See TLC6946 Technical Reference Manual for more details.

Equation 3. TLC6946 TLC6948 sclk-equ.gif

where

  • fGCLK is the minimum GCLK frequency for single-edge operating mode
  • fSCLK is the minimum SCLK frequency
  • m is the GCLK number of each sub-period, determined by the PWM mode selected
  • fVR is the visual refresh rate of the entire cascading series
  • N is the number of cascaded TLC6948 devices
  • n is the number of scan lines
  • fFPS is the frame rate
