TLC59283 is a 16-channel constant-current LED driver which is widely use in household appliances market. As the control and indication function has become increasingly rich and diverse, multi-board system is the one of main design to address this requirement. And with that, the parasitic parameters become larger with the increasing of the trace and cable length. This can change the loop characteristics, especially for the current sink control loop. The increased parasitic inductance can lead to loop stability issues, in some specific application conditions, the high frequency harmonic can be observed on current sink and external FETs. This paper explains the cause of the high frequency harmonic and ringing, and also provide the design to solve the issues.
