11.3 Power Dissipation Calculation
The device power dissipation must be below the power dissipation rating of the device package to ensure correct operation. Equation 11 calculates the power dissipation of device:
Equation 11.
where
- VCC: device supply voltage
- ICC: device supply current
- VOUT: TLC5940-EP OUTn voltage when driving LED current
- IMAX: LED current adjusted by R(IREF) Resistor
- DCn: maximum dot correction value for OUTn
- N: number of OUTn driving LED at the same time
- dPWM: duty cycle defined by BLANK pin or GS PWM value
