3 Description

The TPS92629-Q1 single-channel LED driver

includes a unique thermal management design

to reduce temperature rising on the device. The

TPS92629-Q1 is a linear driver directly powered by

automotive batteries with large voltage variations to

output full current loads up to 250 mA. 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, LED short-to-battery circuit and device

overtemperature protection. The high accuracy and

optimized slew rate of analog dimming control

supports off board long wire driving with enhanced

EMC performance and eliminates the flick and

afterimage issue. The multiple fault could be reported

out by different voltage levels through fault pins for

safety critical applications.
