Product details
Overview
TPS65178RSLT from Texas Instruments is a fully programmable LCD bias IC for TV applications, integrating six gamma buffers, VCOM reference with dynamic gain, 16-V/500-mA boost converter (VDD), 3.3-V/2.0-A buck converter (VCC), 1.0-V/500-mA synchronous buck converter (VCORE), 8-V/500-mA buck converter (HVDD), 1.8-V/100-mA buck converter (VEPI), ±6-V/100-mA negative charge pump (VGL), and 24-V/100-mA positive charge pump (VGH) with temperature compensation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS65178RSLT datasheet, TPS65178RSLT pinout, TPS65178RSLT application, or TPS65178RSLT equivalent, this device supports I²C-programmable sequencing, 9-bit gamma DACs, dual-temperature VGH compensation, 6-channel gamma buffering, and integrated isolation FET - critical for TFT-LCD panel power architecture validation and TCON interface design.
Technical Context
The TPS65178RSLT implements four synchronous buck converters (VCC, VCORE, HVDD, VEPI), one boost converter (VDD), two independent charge pumps (VGH/VGL), and a 6-channel gamma DAC with split-range output topology (GMA1–GMA3: VDD/2 to VDD; GMA4–GMA6: 0 to VDD/2). All rails are I²C-programmable with up to 9-bit resolution for gamma and VCOM, and 4-bit resolution for VGH/VGL/VCORE/VEPI.
It features programmable power-up sequencing (three 5-ms–35-ms delays), thermal shutdown at 138°C, undervoltage lockout (8.6 V), and temperature-compensated VGH control via external thermistor on TCOMP pin. The device uses internal regulators (VL = 5.0 V) and supports chip inductors for compact layout.

FAQ
What is the default VCORE voltage setting for the TPS65178RSLT?
The TPS65178RSLT has a factory-default VCORE output voltage of 1.0 V, programmable via I²C across 0.9 V to 2.4 V in 100-mV steps. This differs from the TPS65178ARSLT variant, which defaults to 1.8 V. The TPS65178RSLT datasheet specifies ±3% output accuracy at 1.0 V under 500-mA load.
Does the TPS65178RSLT support temperature compensation for VGH?
Yes, the TPS65178RSLT supports temperature compensation for VGH using an external thermistor network connected to the TCOMP pin. It provides two programmable VGH ranges - low-temperature (19 V to 34 V) and high-temperature (17 V to 32 V) - enabling automatic adjustment across –40°C to 85°C ambient.
How many gamma reference outputs does the TPS65178RSLT provide, and what is their resolution?
The TPS65178RSLT provides six gamma reference outputs (GMA1 through GMA6), each with 9-bit resolution (512 steps). GMA1–GMA3 span VDD/2 to VDD; GMA4–GMA6 span 0 to VDD/2. This architecture supports full-panel grayscale calibration for 1080p and 4K LCD panels.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the TPS65178RSLT use?
The TPS65178RSLT uses a 48-pin 6-mm × 6-mm QFN package with exposed PowerPAD™ (AGND). Its thermal metrics include θJA = 29.1°C/W, θJCbot = 1.7°C/W, and ψJB = 5.3°C/W - optimized for PCB heat spreading and high-power density LCD bias applications.
Can the TPS65178RSLT be used without external inductors or flying capacitors?
No, the TPS65178RSLT requires external components: chip inductors for all four buck converters and the boost converter, plus flying and storage capacitors for both charge pumps. The datasheet specifies exact values (e.g., 10–22 µH for buck inductors, 220 nF flying caps) to ensure stability and efficiency.
