PRODUCTION DATA.
The I2C signals (SDA / SCL) should be kept away from potential noise sources.
The traces carrying power through the LEDs should be wide enough to the handle necessary current.
All LED current passes through the device and into the ground node. The connection between the device ground and the circuit board ground must be a strong connection.
The maximum IC junction temperature should be restricted to 150°C under normal operating conditions. To calculate the maximum allowable dissipation, PD(max) for a given ambient temperature, use Equation 9 as a guideline:
where
See Thermal Information section. This parameter is highly dependent upon board layout.
Power dissipation in the device is determined by the LED current and the voltage at the OUTx pins. For example, if the LED current is 50 mA continuous through each channel and the output voltage is 1 V on each channel, then the total power dissipation is 50 mA × 1 V × 16 ch = 0.8 W.
