Product details
Overview
TLD1312ELXUMA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 3-channel high-side LED current source IC designed for automotive exterior and interior lighting. It delivers up to 120 mA per channel with ±7% output current accuracy at RSET = 12 kΩ, operates from 5.5 V to 40 V supply, and integrates thermal, overload, reverse polarity, and undervoltage protection. Used in tail/brake lights and dashboard illumination where precise, independent LED current control is required.
For engineers reviewing the TLD1312ELXUMA1 datasheet, TLD1312ELXUMA1 pinout, TLD1312ELXUMA1 application, or TLD1312ELXUMA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its PG-SSOP-14 exposed-pad package, VS- and EN-controlled sleep mode (0.1 µA), integrated PWM dimming engine for dual brightness levels, and adjustable current via external resistor without MCU intervention.
Technical Context
The TLD1312ELXUMA1 implements three independent high-side current sources with internal power stages, each regulated by an external RSET resistor. Its current regulation remains stable across supply voltage (5.5–40 V) and load variations, enabling consistent LED brightness in automotive battery environments.
It features dual-function EN pin for enable/sleep control and PWMI pin supporting direct PWM dimming or internal two-level brightness generation. Protection logic includes thermal shutdown at Tj ≥ 150°C, UVLO at VS < 5 V, and ESD robustness per HBM (±2 kV) and CDM (±750 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Channels | 3 independent high-side current sources, each driving LEDs directly from battery rail |
| Max Output Current | 120 mA per channel - supports high-brightness LEDs with thermal derating |
| Current Accuracy | ±7% at RSET = 12 kΩ - enables predictable luminance without calibration |
| Sleep Current | 0.1 µA - meets automotive off-state leakage requirements |
| Supply Range | 5.5 V to 40 V - covers cold-crank (5.5 V) to load-dump (40 V) transients |
| Junction Temp | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood and headlamp module placement |
| ESD Rating | ±750 V CDM on corner pins - enhances manufacturing and field reliability |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-SSOP-14 with exposed thermal pad (EP), optimized for automotive PCBs with copper pour under EP for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 VS | Power input | Battery supply rail connection; requires local 100 nF–1 µF decoupling to GND |
| 3 EN | Digital control input | Enable/sleep control: <5 V disables outputs and reduces current to 0.1 µA |
| 5 PWMI | I/O signal | Accepts external PWM or configures internal two-level dimming without µC |
| 6 IN_SET | Analog current setting | Connects external RSET (e.g., 12 kΩ) to set nominal output current |
| 9 GND | Reference ground | All GND pins-including exposed pad-must be tied together for low-impedance return path |
| 11–13 OUT1–OUT3 | High-side outputs | Each drives LED anode; cathodes connect to chassis/GND; no external FET needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated PWM dimming engine | Generates two brightness levels internally-eliminates need for external µC or logic circuitry |
| Thermal foldback protection | Reduces output current above Tj threshold to prevent damage during sustained overtemperature |
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands -16 V on VS pin-protects against battery misconnection in service environments |
| PTC-compatible current adjustment | IN_SET accepts PTC thermistor to automatically reduce LED current during overheating |
| Low-EMI design | Internal slew-rate control and optional external Cmod (2.2 µF) suppress switching noise in sensitive RF zones |
Applications
| Rear Combination Lamp | Dashboard Backlighting |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Tail light assembly integrating brake, turn, and position functions in single housing.

Use Value: Reduces BOM count by combining current regulation, protection, and dimming logic in one PG-SSOP-14 device. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASL3416SHN | 4-channel, higher max current (150 mA), SPI interface, no integrated PWM engine | Requires external µC for dimming control; better suited for adaptive lighting systems | Select when scalable channel count and digital diagnostics are prioritized over simplicity |
| TPS92692QPWPRQ1 | 2-channel, external MOSFET required, supports analog + PWM dimming, wider I²C address range | Needs external high-side FETs and current sense; more flexible but larger footprint | Select when design requires programmable fault thresholds or multi-device synchronization |
Compared with ASL3416SHN and TPS92692QPWPRQ1, the TLD1312ELXUMA1 offers lowest system complexity for fixed-function 3-channel automotive lighting-no external FETs, no communication bus, and built-in dual-level dimming-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained modules.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for normal operation?
The TLD1312ELXUMA1 requires a minimum supply voltage of 5.5 V for functional operation, with power-on reset triggered at VS ≥ 5 V. Below this threshold, the device remains in reset state and outputs stay disabled. This ensures reliable startup after cold-crank conditions common in 12 V automotive systems.
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 RSET. As temperature rises, PTC resistance increases, reducing the current-setting reference voltage and thereby lowering output current to protect LEDs during overtemperature events without external monitoring circuitry.
Is the exposed thermal pad electrically isolated or connected internally?
The exposed pad (EP) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour tied to system ground. This provides both thermal conduction (RthJC ≈ 8 K/W) and electrical grounding for noise immunity and ESD discharge path-failure to connect it compromises thermal performance and ESD robustness.
Does the PWMI pin support both external PWM input and internal two-level dimming simultaneously?
No-the PWMI pin operates in one of two mutually exclusive modes: either as an external PWM input (driving OUTx at applied frequency/duty cycle), or as a control input to activate the internal two-level dimming engine (requiring EN and VS sequencing). Mode selection is determined by configuration during power-up and cannot be dynamically switched.
