PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS92630-Q1 device is a three-channel constant-current regulator with individual PWM dimming, designed for high brightness red or white LEDs in automotive lighting applications. Each channel has up to 150-mA current capability, giving a combined 450-mA current capability when paralleled. The device provides excellent current matching between channels and devices. A high-side current source allows LED common-cathode connections. The advanced control loop allows high accuracy between channels, even when different numbers of LEDs are connected on the output. Use of a separate PWM channel dims or disables each channel.
The TPS92630-Q1 device monitors fault conditions on the output and reports its status on the FAULT and FAULT_S pins. It features single-shorted-LED detection, output short-to-ground detection, open-load detection, and thermal shutdown. Two separate fault pins allow maximum flexibility of fault-mode reporting to the MCU in case of an error. In case there is no MCU, one can connect multiple TPS92630-Q1 devices in a bus mode.
Integrated thermal foldback protects the devices from thermal shutdown by reducing the output current linearly when reaching a preset threshold. Use an external resistor to program the temperature foldback threshold. Tying the TEMP pin to ground disables this function.
