7.3.12 TPS40211
The only difference between the TPS40210 and the TPS40211 is the reference voltage that the error amplifier uses to regulate the output voltage. The TPS40211 uses a 260-mV reference and is intended for applications where the output is actually a current instead of a regulated voltage. A typical example of an application of this type is an LED driver. An example schematic is shown in Figure 7-10.
Figure 7-10 Typical LED Drive SchematicThe current in the LED string is set by the choice of the resistor RISNS as shown in Equation 31.
Equation 31. 
where
- RIFB is the value of the current sense resistor for the LED string in Ω
- VFB is the reference voltage for the TPS40211 in V (0.260 V typ.)
- IOUT is the desired DC current in the LED string in A
