Product details
Overview
TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 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 up to 2 A constant average LED current across 5.5 V–65 V input range and supports 10,000:1 shunt PWM dimming for adaptive front lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 datasheet, TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 pinout, TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 application, or TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and electrical specs, and real-world automotive lighting implementation guidance - all specific to the Q1-qualified HV variant in HVSSOP-10 with PowerPAD.
Technical Context
The TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 implements constant off-time (COT), peak-current-controlled buck regulation with inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and no loop compensation required. Its high-side current sense comparator features 240 mV typical threshold with ±16 mV variation over temperature and 75–130 ns falling delay.
It uses a dual-source OFF-timer architecture: COFF pin voltage ramps from VOUT during normal operation to maintain constant inductor ripple, but switches to VCC-derived ramping during shunt-FET dimming to preserve linearity when output is shorted - critical for matrix LED headlamp control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5 V to 65 V - supports 12 V/24 V/48 V automotive battery rails plus load dump transients up to 65 V. |
| Max Output Current | 2 A average - sustained at junction temperatures ≤150°C with proper thermal management via HVSSOP PowerPAD. |
| Integrated FET RDS(on) | 290 mΩ typ at 25°C - enables high-efficiency operation without external switch; increases to 600 mΩ at 150°C. |
| Shunt PWM Dimming Ratio | 10,000:1 - achieves precise low-duty-cycle brightness control for dynamic beam shaping in AFS headlamps. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 175°C with 10°C hysteresis - protects device during overload or poor heatsinking; triggers automatic recovery after cooldown. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 240 mV typical (VIADJ = VCC) - low offset enables accurate current regulation with milliohm-level sense resistors. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - meets automotive Grade 1 requirements for under-hood and headlamp module placement. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 10-pin HVSSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND for optimal PCB heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 COFF | OFF-time timer input | Resistor-capacitor network sets off-time; dual-source (VOUT or VCC) ensures linear shunt dimming during output shorting. |
| 2 VCC | 5-V regulated output | Internal LDO supplies gate drive and logic; requires ≥1 µF ceramic decoupling to GND for stability. |
| 3 GND | Power and signal reference | Common return for all circuits; must be low-impedance connection to thermal pad for thermal performance. |
| 4 BOOT | High-side gate driver supply | Bootstrap capacitor between BOOT and SW powers internal N-FET driver; diode from VCC to BOOT required. |
| 5 SW | Switch node | Drain of internal N-FET; connects to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and ground plane clearance. |
| 6 DRN | Internal FET drain | Internally tied to CSN; used only for high-side sensing - not externally accessible as separate terminal. |
| 7 CSN | Current sense negative input | Kelvin connection point for sense resistor; low bias current (±5 µA) minimizes measurement error. |
| 8 VIN | Input voltage & sense positive | Primary power input and high-side current sense reference; UVLO threshold 4.90 V (±0.25 V). |
| 9 PWM | PWM dimming enable/control | Active-low digital input; 1.0 V threshold with 100 mV hysteresis; pulls down SW when asserted. |
| 10 IADJ | Analog current setpoint | Voltage-adjustable current limit (0.1–2.2 V); 10:1 divider ratio enables precise 200 mA–2 A programming. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3409HV-Q1 | External P-channel FET; 75 V max input; constant off-time control; no integrated current sense amplifier. | Requires external high-side sense and gate driver; better suited for higher-voltage (>65 V) or higher-power (>2 A) designs with discrete FET optimization. | Select when system requires >65 V operation or discrete FET selection for thermal/power trade-off tuning. |
| TPS92692QPWPRQ1 | Two-channel, current-sense amplifier-based controller; supports 0–100% analog dimming; no integrated FET; 65 V max input. | Designed for multi-string independent control; lacks shunt-FET dimming support; requires external MOSFETs and sense amps. | Select for dual-string AFS systems needing independent current regulation per channel, not single-string high-current buck conversion. |
Compared with LM3409HV-Q1 and TPS92692QPWPRQ1, the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 offers the only monolithic 2 A, 65 V, shunt-PWM-capable solution in HVSSOP-10 - delivering lowest component count and smallest footprint for single-string automotive LED headlamps.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1?
The TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 supports a maximum input voltage of 65 V, making it suitable for 48 V automotive architectures and transient conditions including ISO 7637-2 load dump events. This rating is absolute maximum - recommended operating range is 5.5 V to 65 V, with guaranteed operation down to 5.15 V after startup. The TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 maintains regulation and protection features across this full range.
How does the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 achieve 10,000:1 shunt PWM dimming?
The TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 achieves 10,000:1 shunt PWM dimming through its dual-source OFF-timer architecture: during normal operation, COFF ramps from VOUT to maintain constant inductor ripple; during shunt-FET dimming, it switches to VCC-derived ramping to preserve linearity when the LED string is shorted. This ensures consistent peak-to-peak ripple and predictable average current across the entire dimming range - a capability unique to the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 among monolithic 2 A buck LED drivers.
Is the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 pin-compatible with non-Q1 or non-HV variants?
No, the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 is not pin-compatible with TPS92515 or TPS92515-Q1 due to different absolute maximum ratings and internal UVLO thresholds. While all share the HVSSOP-10 package and identical pinout numbering, the HV-Q1 variant has extended 65 V input rating and automotive-grade thermal/ESD specifications. Substituting non-HV parts risks overvoltage failure; substituting non-Q1 parts voids AEC-Q100 compliance in automotive applications.
What thermal management is required for full 2 A operation of the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1?
For continuous 2 A operation, the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 requires PCB-level thermal management: the exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a minimum 100 mm² copper pour connected to internal ground planes via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter). With this layout, junction temperature remains ≤150°C at +85°C ambient. Thermal shutdown activates at 175°C with 10°C hysteresis, providing safe margin against thermal runaway.
Can the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 operate in dropout condition, and how does it affect LED current accuracy?
Yes, the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 operates safely in dropout (VIN ≈ VLED), where inductor ripple ΔIL-PP decreases significantly. Because average current ILED = ILPEAK – (ΔIL-PP/2), reduced ripple causes ILED to rise - potentially increasing output current by up to 15% near dropout. To maintain accuracy, designers should size the inductor to keep ΔIL-PP ≥10% of ILED across the full input range, as specified in the TPS92515HVQDGQRQ1 design guidelines.
