PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS92612 device is a constant-current regulator which can be used as a LED driver, general constant-current source or current limiter in industrial applications.
Thermal performance is one of the design challenges for linear devices. To increase current-driving capability, the device supports heat sharing using an external parallel resistor, as shown in Figure 15. This technique provides the low-cost solution of using external resistors to minimize thermal accumulation on the device itself, and still keeps high accuracy of the total current output.
