For a typical 20 mA white LED you have 6x headroom, so you can parallel multiple LEDs per output or drive higher-current RGB strings without an external transistor. The 30 MHz shift clock updates a daisy-chain of drivers fast enough for multiplexed panels or animated text without visible flicker. The -40°C to 125°C operating range means this part works in outdoor cabinets, parking-lot signs, or industrial panels without needing a heated enclosure or active cooling. ## Package and mounting — field-service perspective It comes in a 16-SOIC (3.90 mm width) surface-mount package. That is a standard footprint you can rework with a hot-air station or even a fine-tip iron if you are careful. ## Lifecycle and sourcing reality The TLC5916IDR is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance, so there is no end-of-life pressure for new designs or production replenishment. It is a current, standard TI part that moves through the usual distribution channels.","metaTitle":"TLC5916IDR LED Driver IC, 8-Ch 120mA, 30MHz Shift Register","metaDescription":"TI TLC5916IDR linear LED driver with 8 constant-current outputs at 120mA per channel, 30MHz shift register, 3-5.5V supply, 20V output, -40 to 125°C.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":"ROHS3 Compliant","productStatus":"Active","categoryPath":["Analog & Data Acquisition"],"specifications":{"Type":"Linear","Package":"Tape & Reel (TR); Cut Tape (CT)","Topology":"Shift Register","Frequency":"30MHz","Applications":"Signage","Mounting Type":"Surface Mount","Package / Case":"16-SOIC (0.154\\\", 3.90mm Width)","lifecycle_stage":"eol_hot","Voltage - Output":"20V","Number of Outputs":"8","Internal Switch(s)":"Yes","Operating Temperature":"-40°C ~ 125°C (TA)","Voltage - Supply (Max)":"5.5V","Voltage - Supply (Min)":"3V","Supplier Device Package":"16-SOIC","Current - Output / Channel":"120mA"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$1.49","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":[{"qty":1,"price":"$1.49000","currency":"USD"},{"qty":10,"price":"$1.33200","currency":"USD"},{"qty":25,"price":"$1.26400","currency":"USD"},{"qty":100,"price":"$1.03840","currency":"USD"},{"qty":250,"price":"$0.97068","currency":"USD"},{"qty":500,"price":"$0.85780","currency":"USD"},{"qty":1000,"price":"$0.67720","currency":"USD"},{"qty":2500,"price":"$0.63206","currency":"USD"},{"qty":5000,"price":"$0.60046","currency":"USD"},{"qty":12500,"price":"$0.57788","currency":"USD"}]},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.icboms.com/5700ea410b013154e1722886e5a5095c.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the output current per channel of TLC5916IDR?","answer":"Each of the eight constant-current outputs is rated for 120 mA maximum.

For a functional equivalent, look at other TI 8-bit shift-register LED drivers in the same family, such as the TLC5916 or TLC5917 variants, but verify pinout and current range against your design."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TLC5916IDR","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/TLC5916IDR when reusing this data.
