Product details
Overview
TPS61311YFFT from Texas Instruments is a 1.5-A synchronous boost LED flash and video light driver with I²C interface, supporting up to three white LEDs in parallel. It delivers regulated current (up to 950 mA on LED2, 400 mA on LED1/LED3), operates from 2.5 V to 5.5 V input, and features integrated temperature monitoring via NTC, open/short LED protection, and 2-MHz switching for compact 2.2-µH inductor use - deployed in smartphone camera modules for flash strobe and continuous video lighting.
For engineers reviewing the TPS61311YFFT datasheet, TPS61311YFFT pinout, TPS61311YFFT application, or TPS61311YFFT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode operation (flash/video), zero-latency STRB0/STRB1 control, I²C-compatible interface up to 3.4 Mbps, thermal safety timer, and DSBGA-20 package with 2.20 mm × 1.90 mm footprint for space-constrained mobile designs.
Technical Context
The TPS61311YFFT implements a synchronous boost converter topology with three independent current-sink channels (LED1, LED2, LED3) and one constant-current privacy indicator output (INDLED). Its control logic supports simultaneous flash strobe and video light modes via dedicated STRB0/STRB1 inputs, with Tx-MASK enabling instantaneous transition from flash to video mode to reduce battery peak load.
It integrates analog LED voltage feedback (400 mV sense threshold), programmable current regulation via I²C registers, LED temperature monitoring through TS pin (23.8 µA bias current), and automatic battery droop compensation. The device enters power-save mode at light loads to maintain up to 95% efficiency across 10 mA–950 mA output range.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous LED current supported by TPS61311YFFT on the LED2 channel?
The TPS61311YFFT supports up to 950 mA of continuous LED current on the LED2 channel under recommended operating conditions (TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). This rating is validated per TI's electrical characteristics table and applies in video light mode with appropriate thermal management. The TPS61311YFFT achieves this using its 2480-mA typical input valley current limit and synchronous boost architecture.
Does TPS61311YFFT require external current-setting resistors for LED regulation?
No, the TPS61311YFFT performs fully integrated current regulation using internal 400-mV sense references and I²C-programmable current codes - no external resistors are needed for LED current setting. The TPS61311YFFT's current accuracy is specified at ±7.5% for LED2 currents above 250 mA, eliminating calibration drift and layout sensitivity associated with external resistor networks.
How does the TS pin on TPS61311YFFT enable LED temperature monitoring?
The TS pin on TPS61311YFFT sources a precise 23.8 µA bias current into an external 220-kΩ NTC thermistor connected to ground. As LED temperature rises, NTC resistance drops, lowering TS voltage - which the TPS61311YFFT compares internally to detect warning (44.5 kΩ) and hot (14.5 kΩ) thresholds. This enables real-time thermal derating or shutdown without MCU intervention.
Can TPS61311YFFT operate as a standard voltage regulator in addition to LED driving?
Yes, the TPS61311YFFT can operate in voltage-regulation mode with output range 3.825 V to 5.7 V, functioning as a synchronous boost converter for other system rails - such as audio amplifier supplies. In this mode, it maintains regulation while supporting up to 1250 mA output current, leveraging the same power stage used for LED driving but with different feedback configuration.
What is the purpose of the INDLED pin on TPS61311YFFT?
The INDLED pin on TPS61311YFFT provides a dedicated constant-current sink (2.6–15.8 mA) for driving a low-forward-voltage privacy indicator LED - independent of the main LED1/LED2/LED3 channels. This enables hardware-level visual feedback of camera/microphone activity without consuming MCU GPIOs or requiring additional driver circuitry, enhancing user trust and regulatory compliance.
