Product details
Overview
TLD1121ELXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a single-channel high-side LED current source IC designed for automotive exterior and interior lighting. It delivers up to 360 mA output current with ±7% accuracy at RSET = 12 kΩ, operates from 5.5 V to 40 V supply, and integrates thermal protection, open-load/short-to-GND diagnosis, and PWM control via EN/VS pins-used in tail/brake light modules requiring robust fault diagnostics.
For engineers reviewing the TLD1121ELXUMA1 datasheet, TLD1121ELXUMA1 pinout, TLD1121ELXUMA1 application, or TLD1121ELXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 360 mA max output current, PG-SSOP-14 exposed-pad thermal package, sleep-mode current of 0.1 µA, integrated OL/SC-GND detection, and VS-pin PWM capability for dynamic dimming in 12 V/24 V automotive systems.
Technical Context
The TLD1121ELXUMA1 implements a regulated high-side current source topology with internal power stage, enabling load-independent current control across varying battery voltage (8–18 V nominal) and LED forward voltage drift. Its current-setting architecture uses an external resistor on IN_SET, with optional PTC integration for overtemperature LED protection.
Diagnosis is implemented via open-drain ST pin reporting OL or SC-GND faults, while EN pin enables dual-function control: logic-level enable/disable and VS-synchronized PWM dimming. Undervoltage lockout triggers at 5 V, and thermal shutdown activates at Tj ≥ 150 °C with automatic recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output current range | 180 mA (nominal, 8–18 V), up to 360 mA (max, dependent on RthJA) |
| Current accuracy | ±7% at RSET = 12 kΩ - ensures consistent LED brightness across units and temperature |
| Supply voltage range | 5.5 V to 40 V - supports 12 V/24 V automotive battery rails including load dump transients |
| Sleep mode current | 0.1 µA - enables ultra-low-power standby in always-on lighting systems |
| Junction temperature range | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive locations |
| Diagnostic outputs | ST pin reports open-load and short-to-GND faults - eliminates need for external sense resistors or ADC monitoring |
| Thermal resistance | RthJC = 8 K/W (typ), RthJA2 = 43 K/W (2s2p board) - enables >1.5 W continuous dissipation with proper PCB copper layout |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-SSOP-14 with exposed thermal pad (EP), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VS (Pins 1,2) | Power supply input | Battery rail connection (5.5–40 V); requires local 100 nF–1 µF decoupling to GNDS/GND |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable / PWM control input | Active-high enable; supports VS-synchronized PWM dimming without external gate driver |
| GNDS (Pin 5) | Signal ground reference | Low-noise analog reference for current setting and diagnosis; must be tied to main GND |
| IN_SET (Pin 6) | Current programming input | Connects external resistor (e.g., 12 kΩ) to set IOUT; supports PTC for thermal foldback |
| ST (Pin 10) | Fault status output | Open-drain diagnostic pin indicating OL or SC-GND; pulled high externally for fault flagging |
| OUT (Pin 12) | High-side current output | Drives LED anode; withstands 40 V reverse voltage during load dump events |
| GND (Pins 9, EP) | Power ground return | Main thermal and current return path; exposed pad must be soldered to large copper pour for heat dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-side current source | Eliminates external MOSFET and current-sense resistor; reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| VS-pin PWM dimming | Enables synchronized pulse-width modulation without dedicated PWM controller or level-shifting circuitry |
| Open-load and short-to-GND diagnosis | Provides fail-safe LED channel monitoring without adding external comparators or ADC channels |
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands −16 V applied to VS - protects against battery misconnection in service environments |
| Thermal shutdown with auto-recovery | Halts output above 150 °C junction temperature and resumes operation once cooled below hysteresis threshold |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NCV7683 | 3-channel, 60 mA/channel, SPI-controlled, no integrated thermal protection | Requires microcontroller interface and external thermal monitoring | Select when multi-channel coordination and programmability outweigh single-channel simplicity and self-protection |
| NXP PCA9956BT | I²C interface, 16-bit PWM resolution, 120 mA/channel, no high-voltage tolerance | Limited to ≤5.5 V supply; unsuitable for direct battery connection | Choose for RGB color mixing in low-voltage interior modules where digital control and fine dimming granularity are critical |
Compared with NCV7683 and PCA9956BT, the TLD1121ELXUMA1 offers higher per-channel current (360 mA), direct 40 V battery interface, autonomous thermal/fault protection, and minimal external components-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-reliability single-LED automotive lighting nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current for TLD1121ELXUMA1 in a typical automotive PCB layout?
The maximum continuous output current is 360 mA, achievable only when thermal resistance RthJA is ≤43 K/W (e.g., on a 2s2p FR4 board with thermal vias under the exposed pad). At nominal 8–18 V supply and standard 1s0p layout, 180 mA is recommended to maintain Tj < 150 °C under worst-case ambient conditions.
How does the ST pin indicate open-load versus short-to-GND faults?
The ST pin is an open-drain output that pulls low for both open-load and short-to-GND conditions. Differentiation requires timing analysis: ST remains low during OL after startup timeout (~1 ms), while SC-GND causes immediate ST assertion within 10 µs of fault onset. External microcontroller firmware must implement this timing-based decoding.
Can the IN_SET pin accept a PTC thermistor for temperature-dependent current reduction?
Yes - the IN_SET pin supports direct connection of a PTC thermistor in series with the RSET resistor. As temperature rises, PTC resistance increases, reducing IOUT proportionally. This provides passive LED overtemperature protection without software intervention or additional ICs.
Is reverse polarity protection active during sleep mode?
Yes - reverse polarity protection remains fully functional in sleep mode. The device withstands −16 V applied to VS regardless of EN state, preventing damage from battery misconnection during service or assembly even when the IC is disabled.
