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 10 calculates the power dissipation of device.
Equation 10.
where
- VCC: device supply voltage
- ICC: device supply current
- VOUT: TLC5940 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
