3 Description

The TPS92623-Q1 three-channel LED driver includes

a unique thermal management design to reduce

temperature rising on the device. The TPS92623-Q1

is a linear driver directly powered by automotive

batteries with large voltage variations to output full

current loads up to 150 mA per channel. External

shunt resistors are leveraged to share output current

and dissipate power out of the driver. The device's

full-diagnostic capabilities include LED open, LED

short-to-GND circuit and device overtemperature

protection.

The one-fails–all-fail feature of TPS92623-Q1 is able

to work together with other LED drivers, such as

the TPS9261x-Q1, TPS9262x-Q1, TPS92630/8-Q1,

and TPS92830-Q1 devices, to address different

requirements.
