Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TLC5926IPWPRG4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Outputs: 16 channels (non-negotiable for circuit compatibility)
• Voltage Supply Range: 3V to 5.5V (system power compatibility)
• Output Voltage: 17V (load driving capability)
• Current per Channel: 120mA (thermal and design margin requirements)
• Operating Frequency: 30MHz (signal timing compatibility)
• Package Type: 24-PowerTSSOP (PCB layout and thermal management)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C (environmental specification)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (regulatory requirements)

The TLC5926IPWPR from Texas Instruments meets all these parameters identically and serves as the direct manufacturer-recommended substitute. The primary distinction is product status: TLC5926IPWPRG4 is discontinued, while TLC5926IPWPR remains active with higher inventory availability.
