Place the decoupling capacitor near the VCC/VR, VG/VB pins and GND plane.
Place the current programming resistor RIREF close to IREF pin and GND plane.
Route the GND thermal pad as widely as possible for large GND currents. Maximum GND current is approximately 2 A for two devices (96-CH × 20 mA = 1.92 A).
The Thermal Pad must be connected to GND plane because the pad is used as
power ground pin internally. There is a large current flow through this pad
when all channels turn on. Furthermore, this pad must be connected to a heat
sink layer by thermal via to reduce device temperature. For more information
about suggested thermal via pattern and via size, see PowerPAD™
Thermally Enhanced Package application note.
Routing between the LED Anode side and the device OUTXn pin must be as short and straight as possible to reduce wire inductance.
The line switch pins must be located in the middle of the matrix, which must be laid out as symmetrically as possible.
