Product details
Overview
TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified automotive buck LED driver with integrated 290-mΩ N-channel FET, high-side current sense, and shunt FET PWM dimming capability. It delivers constant average LED current up to 2 A across 5.5 V to 65 V input, supports 10,000:1 shunt PWM dimming, and operates in automotive headlamp and DRL systems requiring high reliability and thermal robustness.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 datasheet, TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 pinout, TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 application, or TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 equivalent, this device is selected for high-brightness LED lighting where precise current regulation, fast transient response, and multi-method dimming (shunt PWM/analog/PWM) are required under harsh ambient conditions.
Technical Context
The TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 uses constant OFF-time (COFT), peak-current control architecture with inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting-no external loop compensation needed. Its high-side differential current sense comparator features 240 mV typical threshold with ±18 mV variation, enabling stable 2 A average output current regulation even at low VIN–VCSN differentials.
It integrates a thermally enhanced HVSSOP-10 package with exposed thermal pad, supports VIN down to 5.15 V after startup, and implements dual UVLO (VIN and VCC), BOOT UVLO hysteresis, and thermal shutdown at 175 °C with 10 °C hysteresis-critical for automotive lighting safety compliance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 65 V - supports direct battery connection in 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive systems, with operation sustained down to 5.15 V after startup. |
| Max Output Current | 2 A average - enables high-lumen LED strings without external current amplification or parallel drivers. |
| Integrated FET RDS(on) | 290 mΩ (typ) at 25 °C - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress; increases to 650 mΩ at 150 °C, defining worst-case efficiency margin. |
| Shunt PWM Dimming Ratio | 10,000:1 - achieves ultra-fine brightness control in adaptive front lighting (AFS) matrix applications without visible flicker or nonlinearity. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 240 mV (typ), adjustable via IADJ pin - allows precise analog dimming over 200:1 range while minimizing sense resistor power loss. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175 °C with 10 °C hysteresis - protects against thermal runaway during sustained high-current operation in enclosed headlamp housings. |
| Package | HVSSOP-10 (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed thermal pad - provides 5.3 °C/W junction-to-case (bottom) thermal resistance for direct PCB copper thermal sinking. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced HVSSOP-10 package (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND for optimal heat dissipation in high-power LED driver layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COFF | OFF-time timing input | Connects to RC network that sets converter OFF-time; determines switching frequency and inductor ripple linearity during shunt dimming. |
| CSN | High-side current sense negative | Completes Kelvin connection to sense resistor; enables accurate high-side sensing without ground path interference. |
| DRN | Internal FET drain | Internally tied to CSN node; must be routed with low-inductance path to minimize switching noise coupling into current sense path. |
| GND | Power and signal reference | Common return for all internal circuits; thermal pad must be soldered to large GND copper area for thermal management. |
| IADJ | Analog current adjust input | Sets peak current threshold via 10:1 internal divider; 2.2 V input yields 220 mV sense threshold for optimal accuracy and low-loss operation. |
| PWM | Digital dimming enable | Accepts logic-level PWM signal (0.95–1.05 V threshold); modulates output current from max analog level without external components. |
| SW | Internal FET source | Switching node connecting to output inductor; requires tight layout with minimal trace length to reduce EMI and voltage ringing. |
| VCC | 5 V internal regulator output | Supplies internal circuitry and can source ≤500 µA for external bias; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor. |
| VIN | Input voltage and current sense positive | Primary power input and high-side sense reference; supports wide 5.5–65 V range and includes 4.9 V UVLO with 200 mV hysteresis. |
| BOOT | High-side gate drive supply | Connected via diode and capacitor to SW; powers internal high-side driver; UVLO at 2.0–3.5 V prevents shoot-through during low-VIN conditions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current supported by the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1?
The TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 supports up to 2 A average LED current under proper thermal management. This rating assumes operation within recommended conditions: VIN = 40 V, TA ≤ 125 °C, and PCB layout with full thermal pad soldering to ≥4 cm² of 2 oz copper. At 150 °C junction temperature, RDS(on) rises to 650 mΩ, reducing practical continuous current to ~1.5 A in sealed enclosures without forced airflow.
How does the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 achieve 10,000:1 shunt PWM dimming ratio?
The TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 achieves 10,000:1 shunt PWM dimming by combining precise OFF-time control derived from VOUT (or VCC during shunt) with inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting. During shunt FET activation, the COFF pin is re-routed to VCC to maintain constant inductor ripple, preserving linear current response across the full dimming range without external compensation or calibration.
Can the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 operate below 5.5 V input voltage?
Yes-the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 sustains operation down to 5.15 V after startup, enabled by its VIN undervoltage lockout hysteresis (150–225 mV). However, below 5.5 V, the integrated FET's RDS(on) increases significantly, reducing efficiency and maximum deliverable current. Startup requires ≥5.5 V; operation below that threshold is only possible post-startup during transient battery dips.
What is the purpose of the DRN pin on the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1?
On the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1, the DRN pin is the internal N-channel FET drain terminal, internally connected to the CSN node. It serves as the high-side current sense reference point and must be routed with minimal trace inductance to avoid noise coupling into the current sense path-critical for maintaining ±3% LED current accuracy across temperature and load conditions.
Does the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 require external loop compensation?
No-the TPS92515AHVQDGQTQ1 uses constant OFF-time (COFT) peak-current control architecture, which eliminates the need for external loop compensation components. Stability is inherently maintained across continuous and discontinuous conduction modes, enabling faster transient response and simplified PCB layout compared to voltage-mode or current-mode controllers requiring compensation networks.
