23 APPLICATIONS The TLC5942 is a 16-channel, constant current sink
driver. Each channel is individually adjustable with
4096 pulse-width modulated (PWM) steps and 128
constant current sink steps for dot correction. Dot
correction adjusts the brightness variations between
LEDs. Both grayscale control and dot correction are
accessible via separate, dedicated serial interface
ports. The maximum current value of all 16 channels
can be set by a single external resistor.
