Hello,I've been using the TLC5940 for a while now and while working with it today, I wondered if it could be used for other things besides LED's.
Could it be used as some sort of PWM expander?Datasheet: http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tlc5940.pdf
It's a 16 channel PWM controller/driver that is definitely geared towards LEDs but that wouldn't stop it from being used from other PWM applications with the correct implementation. But it sort of begs the question of why use a PWM controller geared towards LEDs for (say) motor control or power supplies when there are PWM circuits specifically geared towards those applications already available? Or what application are you thinking of?
