Product details
Overview
LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage LED backlight driver IC with integrated 22-V boost converter, six programmable current-sink outputs (OUT1–OUT6), I²C/PWM dual brightness control, and adaptive output voltage regulation. It delivers up to 210 mA per channel with ±4% current accuracy, supports VSYNC synchronization, and targets notebook LCD backlight systems requiring high optical efficiency and low audible noise.
For engineers reviewing the LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB datasheet, LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB pinout, LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB application, or LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options, and supply-chain support details specific to the E04 configuration.
Technical Context
The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB implements an adaptive boost architecture that dynamically adjusts VBOOST based on real-time LED forward voltage monitoring-minimizing power loss across varying string configurations and temperature. Its proprietary Phase-Shift PWM reduces peak inductor current by staggering output switching, enabling smaller boost capacitors and eliminating audible coil whine.
It integrates a 5-MHz internal oscillator with PLL-based clock synthesis supporting VSYNC lock (58–55 kHz range) and selectable PWM resolution (8–13 bits). EEPROM-programmable parameters include current setpoint, PWM frequency, thermal de-rating thresholds, dithering behavior, and phase-shift enable-all retained without external nonvolatile memory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 22 V - supports 2–5-cell Li-ion battery operation with automatic UVLO threshold selection (E04 config uses 5.4 V nominal trip) |
| Boost Output Voltage | Up to 40 V - dynamically regulated to minimum required level for connected LED strings, reducing power dissipation |
| LED Output Current | 210 mA max per channel (OUT1–OUT6) - ±4% accuracy at 23 mA with matched current sinks (0.5% typical matching) |
| PWM Resolution | 13-bit true resolution - achieved via dithering during brightness transitions, enabling smooth luminance ramping without visible stepping |
| VSYNC Synchronization | 58–55 kHz input range - PLL locks to display timing signal to eliminate flicker and ensure frame-aligned dimming |
| Thermal Protection | Programmable de-rating & shutdown - reduces brightness at 125°C junction, fully disables boost/outputs at 150°C (typ.) |
| I²C Interface | Standard-mode (400 kHz) - compatible with 1.65–5 V VDDIO, supports register read/write for full configuration and fault status reporting |
Pinout & Package
LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB is housed in a 25-pin DSBGA (YZR) package measuring 2.49 mm × 2.49 mm with 0.4-mm pitch. The package features dedicated ground domains (GND_SW, GND_S, GND_L) for optimal noise isolation between power, signal, and LED return paths.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2, B1, B2 | Boost switch ground / Boost switch | GND_SW and SW pins form low-inductance power loop for boost FET; critical for EMI and efficiency |
| A3 | Enable input | Active-high logic control; enables full device operation including boost, LDO, and LED drivers |
| A4 | PWM dimming input | Analog input accepting 0.2×VDDIO–0.8×VDDIO logic levels; left floating if unused |
| A5 | Boost feedback | Resistor-divider input setting regulated VBOOST; determines maximum output voltage |

| C4 | Digital I/O reference | Supplies 1.65–5 V reference for I²C and PWM inputs; decoupled with 1 µF capacitor |
| D1 | LDO output | 5-V regulated output (±5%) for external circuitry; can be bypassed with external 5-V rail in low-VIN applications |
| D2 | VSYNC input | Synchronizes internal PWM clock to display vertical refresh; must tie to GND if unused |
| D3, D4 | I²C clock/data | Standard-mode interface (400 kHz) for configuration, status readback, and dynamic adjustment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED backlight driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LP8557TLE/NOPB | Higher max output current (300 mA/channel), added analog dimming input, same pinout and EEPROM structure | Better suited for larger panels (>17") or higher-brightness automotive displays requiring >250 mA per string | Select LP8557TLE/NOPB when scaling to higher-power LED strings without redesigning PCB layout |
| TPS61165DRVR | Single-channel, 40-V boost with 30-mA max sink; no VSYNC sync, no EEPROM, no phase-shift PWM | Targeted at cost-sensitive, single-string applications where advanced dimming and fault reporting are not required | Choose TPS61165DRVR only for simple, low-channel-count backlight systems with minimal feature requirements |
Compared with LP8557TLE/NOPB, the LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB offers lower quiescent current and tighter current matching but lacks analog dimming; versus TPS61165DRVR, it provides six-channel integration, VSYNC lock, and EEPROM retention-making it suitable for premium notebook and medical displays where reliability and precision outweigh cost sensitivity.

FAQ
What is the default LED current setting for LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB?
The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB is factory-configured with EEPROM settings corresponding to 210 mA maximum output per channel (OUT1–OUT6) when RISET = 16 kΩ. This value is stored in address A5h (0100 0101 binary) and can be reprogrammed via I²C without hardware changes. The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB maintains this setting across power cycles due to on-chip EEPROM retention.
Does LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB require external EEPROM for configuration storage?
No, LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB contains integrated EEPROM that stores all configuration parameters-including current setpoints, PWM frequency, thermal thresholds, and dithering modes-eliminating the need for external nonvolatile memory. The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB retains these settings indefinitely and survives power cycling, simplifying system design and reducing BOM count.
How does the Phase-Shift PWM feature in LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB reduce audible noise?
The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB staggers the ON-times of its six LED outputs using Phase-Shift PWM, distributing boost converter current demand across time. This lowers peak inductor current by over 40%, reducing mechanical vibration in magnetics and eliminating coil whine in the 2–20 kHz audible range. The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB achieves this without external components or firmware intervention.
Can LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB operate with input voltage below 5.5 V?
Yes, LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB supports input voltages as low as 2.7 V when an external 5-V rail is supplied to the VLDO pin (D1), as specified in Figure 31 of the datasheet. In this mode, VIN powers only the boost stage while VLDO supplies the internal LDO and digital logic. The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB maintains full functionality including I²C communication and fault reporting under this configuration.
What fault conditions trigger the FAULT pin on LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB?
The FAULT pin on LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB asserts low for LED open/short detection, input undervoltage (UVLO), boost overcurrent, overtemperature (junction ≥150°C), and internal LDO failure. Each condition is latched and readable via I²C register 0x0A. The LP8552TLE-E04/NOPB continues normal operation after fault clearance unless thermal shutdown persists, ensuring robust system-level diagnostics without interrupting display function unnecessarily.
