3 Description

With LEDs being widely used in automotive

applications, simple LED drivers are more and more

popular. Compared to discrete solutions, a low-cost

monolithic solution lowers system-level component

counts and significantly improves current accuracy

and reliability.

The TPS92612-Q1 device is a simple single-channel

high-side LED driver operating from an automotive

car battery. It is a simple and elegant solution to

deliver constant current for a single LED string.
