The constant output current is capable of ma for 16 bits simultaneously, and the current value can be set by one external register. This device also includes a 16-bit segment driver and 8-bit common driver; therefore, the monocolor LED array with 16 8 dots can be driven by only one TLC5920, and a two-color LED array with 16 x 16 dots can be driven by two TLC5920s.
