3 Description

The TPS61194-Q1 is an automotive high-efficiency,

low-EMI, easy-to-use LED driver with integrated DCDC

converter. The DC-DC converter supports both

boost and SEPIC mode operation. The device has

four high-precision current sinks that can be

combined for higher current capability.

The DC-DC converter has adaptive output voltage

control based on the LED current sink headroom

voltages. This feature minimizes the power

consumption by adjusting the voltage to the lowest

sufficient level in all conditions. For EMI reduction

DC-DC supports spread spectrum for switching

frequency and an external synchronization with

dedicated pin. A wide-range adjustable frequency

allows the TPS61194-Q1 to avoid disturbance for AM

radio band.

The input voltage range for the TPS61194-Q1 is from

4.5 V to 40 V to support automotive stop/start and

load dump condition. The TPS61194-Q1 integrates

extensive fault detection features.
