TLC5947 and LED strips

Post by neonglass »

I want to control 10' LED strips using the TLC5947 breakout board. The strips use about 200 to 300 mA per color. Can I connect N-channel MOSFETs to the outputs to control the strips. I realize that the constant current capability for the chips is wasted.
