Product details
Overview
TPS61158DRVR from Texas Instruments is a 30-V WLED boost driver IC with integrated 0.6-A/30-V switch FET and power diode, operating at 750-kHz fixed frequency to drive up to 8 series white LEDs. It regulates LED current via 200-mV FB reference voltage across external RFB (10 Ω), supports 2.7–5.5-V input, and delivers up to 29-V open-LED protection for portable display backlighting.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61158DRVR datasheet, TPS61158DRVR pinout, TPS61158DRVR application, or TPS61158DRVR equivalent, key selection criteria include integrated diode elimination of external Schottky, dual dimming modes (PWM and EasyScale™ 1-wire), 100:1 dimming ratio, thermal shutdown at 160°C, and WSON-6 package compatibility with space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The TPS61158DRVR implements current-mode PWM control with slope compensation for stable operation above 50% duty cycle. Its error amplifier regulates FB to 200 mV ±3 mV while internal loop compensation eliminates external compensation components.
It features dual-dimming mode selection on power-up: default PWM dimming (FB = Duty × 200 mV) or programmable 1-wire EasyScale™ interface supporting 32 logarithmic brightness steps. Open-LED protection triggers at 28.2 V (typical) with simultaneous FB < 100 mV detection, disabling the switch FET and holding VOUT near VIN.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion/Li-poly and 3.3-V system rails without LDO pre-regulation |
| Switch FET Rating | 0.6-A, 30-V N-channel MOSFET - enables direct driving of 6–8 white LEDs (VF ≈ 3.0–3.6 V each) in series |
| Feedback Reference | 200 mV ±3 mV - sets LED current via RFB = 200 mV / ILED; reduces sense resistor power loss vs. 1-V references |
| Switching Frequency | 750 kHz (600–900 kHz range) - allows use of small 10–22 µH inductors and compact 1–2.2 µF output capacitors |
| Dimming Ratio | 100:1 (PWM mode) - achieves deep dimming without audible capacitor noise due to analog-filtered DC current modulation |
| Open LED Protection | 28.2 V threshold - prevents overvoltage damage during LED string disconnection; disables switching and clamps VOUT to VIN |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160°C with 15°C hysteresis - protects silicon integrity under sustained high-current or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
TPS61158DRVR uses a thermally enhanced 6-pin WSON package (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm, 0.75-mm height) with exposed thermal pad soldered to analog ground plane for optimal power dissipation (RθJB = 39.8°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - CTRL | Multi-function control input | Enables device, selects PWM or EasyScale™ dimming mode, and accepts logic-level PWM signal (20–100 kHz) or digital commands |
| 2 - VIN | Main power input | Accepts 2.7–5.5-V supply; connects to input capacitor (2.2 µF) and inductor (10–22 µH); UVLO activates below 2.2 V |
| 3 - VOUT | Boost converter output | Drives LED anodes; maximum 29-V rating supports up to 8-series white LEDs; open-circuit voltage limited to 28.2 V |
| 4 - FB | Current-sense feedback | Regulated to 200 mV; connects to RFB (10 Ω typical) between FB and GND to set ILED = 20 mA per step |
| 5 - GND | Power and signal ground | Reference node for all internal circuits; must be connected to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane |
| 6 - LX | Switching node | Connects inductor between VIN and LX; carries pulsed current; requires short, low-inductance layout to minimize EMI |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Diode | Eliminates need for external Schottky diode, reducing BOM count, board area, and forward-voltage losses |
| Flexible Dimming Interface | Supports both hardware PWM (no processor overhead) and software-configurable EasyScale™ 1-wire (32-step logarithmic brightness) |
| Built-in Soft Start | Ramps FB voltage in 32 steps (341 µs/step) to limit inrush current; startup current limit reduced to 360 mA (typical) |
| Integrated Loop Compensation | Removes requirement for external compensation network, simplifying design and improving stability across load/temperature |
| WLED Open Protection | Detects open LED string by monitoring VOUT ≥28.2 V and FB < 100 mV simultaneously, then shuts down switch FET |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar WLED boost driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS61160DRVR | Same WSON-6 package, but 40-V switch, 1.2-A current limit, and 1.2-MHz switching frequency; lacks integrated diode and EasyScale™ interface | Requires external Schottky diode; supports higher LED counts (up to 12) but increases BOM and layout complexity | Choose when higher output voltage (>29 V) or higher current capability is required, and external diode integration is acceptable |
| MAX8646ETE+ | 36-V rated, 1.2-A switch, 1-MHz frequency, integrated diode, but uses I²C interface instead of 1-wire/PWM; different pinout (16-pin TQFN) | Requires I²C host controller and additional pull-up resistors; offers more flexible register-based configuration but larger footprint | Choose when system already includes I²C infrastructure and advanced diagnostics (fault reporting, current readback) are needed |
Compared with TPS61158DRVR, TPS61160DRVR trades integrated diode and digital dimming for higher voltage/current headroom, while MAX8646ETE+ replaces simplicity with configurability and communication protocol flexibility-making TPS61158DRVR optimal for cost- and space-constrained mobile backlighting where ease of implementation and minimal external components are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the recommended inductor value for TPS61158DRVR in a typical 6-LED application?
The TPS61158DRVR datasheet specifies an inductor range of 10 µH to 22 µH. For a typical 6-white-LED application (VOUT ≈ 18.3 V at 20 mA), a 15-µH, 0.6-A saturation current shielded inductor with low DCR (e.g., 120 mΩ) is recommended to balance ripple current (<30% of ILED), efficiency (>87%), and physical size. Layout must minimize trace inductance between VIN, LX, and the inductor.
How does the TPS61158DRVR implement analog dimming without audible noise?
The TPS61158DRVR applies PWM to the CTRL pin but internally filters it with a low-pass network before feeding it to the error amplifier. This results in a DC reference voltage (VFB = Duty × 200 mV) that modulates LED current continuously-not pulsing it-so no high-frequency current ripple appears across the output capacitor. Consequently, no piezoelectric "squeal" occurs, even at dimming ratios down to 1%.
Can the TPS61158DRVR drive fewer than 2 LEDs, and what limits the minimum LED count?
No, the TPS61158DRVR is not designed for fewer than 2 LEDs. The minimum LED count is constrained by the 28.2-V open-LED protection threshold and the need for sufficient forward voltage to reverse-bias the integrated power diode during shutdown. With only 1 LED (VF ≈ 3.3 V), the diode remains forward-biased, allowing leakage current to illuminate the LED unintentionally-even in shutdown mode.
What is the function of the thermal pad on the TPS61158DRVR WSON package?
The exposed thermal pad on the TPS61158DRVR WSON-6 package serves as the primary heat dissipation path, electrically connected to GND. It must be soldered to a solid copper ground plane with ≥4 thermal vias (0.3-mm diameter, spaced ≤1 mm apart) to achieve the specified RθJB of 39.8°C/W. Omitting this compromises thermal performance and risks premature thermal shutdown under full-load conditions.
How does the TPS61158DRVR handle undervoltage lockout (UVLO) during battery discharge?
The TPS61158DRVR features a 2.2-V to 2.35-V UVLO threshold with 275-mV hysteresis. When VIN drops below ~2.2 V, the device shuts down completely (IQ < 1 µA). Once VIN recovers above ~2.5 V, the internal soft-start sequence reinitiates, ramping FB voltage in 32 steps to prevent inrush current. This ensures graceful shutdown and restart during Li-ion battery sag or cold-temperature discharge.
