A 16-channel high-side automotive driver from Texas Instruments called the TLC6C5716QDAPRQ1 is intended for use in industrial and automotive lighting applications. It can be quickly integrated into existing systems because to the serial peripheral interface (SPI) it has for communicating with a microcontroller or other control device. The device can regulate high-precision LED current with a wide input voltage range (from 3V to 40V), ensuring constant and dependable functioning of the lighting system. Its integrated protective circuitry provides resilience and longevity in hostile conditions by protecting against overtemperature, undervoltage, and output short circuit. The TLC6C5716QDAPRQ1 is approved to use in automotive and other safety-critical applications since it satisfies the standards of AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
