Product details
Overview
TPS92561DGN from Texas Instruments is a phase-dimmable, single-stage boost LED controller for off-line AC-driven lighting. It implements hysteretic current-mode control with fixed 30 mV (typ) VSEN hysteresis, supports TRIAC and reverse-phase dimmers, delivers >90% efficiency and >0.9 power factor, and integrates OVP, thermal shutdown, and VCC regulation - used in A19, PAR30, and MR16 LED retrofit lamps.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92561DGN datasheet, TPS92561DGN pinout, TPS92561DGN application, or TPS92561DGN equivalent, this page provides verified functional roles, validated pin functions, confirmed dimming compatibility with standard leading-edge TRIAC dimmers, and real-world design constraints including SRC-referenced gate drive, ADJ-based line-following current regulation, and HVSSOP thermal performance limits.
Technical Context
The TPS92561DGN uses a fixed-offset current-sense comparator to enable self-oscillating hysteretic control without loop compensation - eliminating stability concerns common in voltage-mode boost controllers. Its SEN pin senses peak inductor current relative to the ADJ reference, with ±29.1 mV (typ) lower/upper thresholds defining switching boundaries.
Gate drive operates referenced to SRC (not GND), delivering 8.71 V (typ) high-level output with 180 mV (typ) low-level drop at 100 mA sink/source, enabling direct low-side N-channel FET control. OVP protection triggers at 1.19 V (typ) on the OVP pin, with 44 mV (typ) hysteresis, while thermal shutdown activates at 165 °C with 30 °C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Regulated Voltage | 5.92 V (typ); powers internal circuitry and gate driver - requires ≥0.47 µF decoupling from VCC to SRC. |
| VSEN Hysteresis | 60 mV (typ); sets inductor current ripple window - determines switching frequency spread in off-line applications. |
| GATE High Output | 8.71 V (typ) above SRC; drives low-side N-MOSFET gate - mandates ≥75 Ω series resistance for off-line EMI control. |
| OVP Threshold | 1.19 V (typ); detects overvoltage at LED+ via resistor divider - enables safe shutdown before LED string damage. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165 °C (typ); protects die during overload or poor heatsinking - restarts after 30 °C hysteresis drop. |
| VP Supply Range | 6.5–42 V; supplies bias for VCC LDO and gate driver - must be ≤42 V to avoid absolute max violation. |
| Junction-to-Ambient RθJA | 65.3 °C/W; defines thermal rise under PCB-mounted conditions - requires PowerPAD soldering for rated performance. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92561DGN is housed in an 8-pin HVSSOP (DGN) package measuring 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm with exposed PowerPAD for thermal enhancement. The PowerPAD must be soldered to PCB ground plane using thermal vias for reliable operation at full load.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GATE (1) | Gate driver output | Drives low-side N-FET gate; referenced to SRC - not GND - requiring careful layout to avoid shoot-through. |
| SRC (2) | Source return / current sense reference | Connects to FET source; serves as local ground for VCC decoupling and SEN filtering - critical for noise immunity. |
| VCC (3) | Internal LDO output | Supplies 5.92 V (typ) to internal logic and gate driver - capacitor must connect between VCC and SRC, not GND. |
| SEN (4) | Current sense input | Compares sensed inductor current to ADJ reference - requires RC filter to suppress switching noise in off-line designs. |
| GND (5) | System ground reference | Connects to PCB ground plane - separate from SRC; PowerPAD must also tie to GND for thermal and EMI control. |
| ADJ (6) | Current reference input | Sets LED current via external voltage - derived from rectified AC for high PF or from VLED for line regulation. |
| OVP (7) | Overvoltage detection input | Monitors LED+ via high-value resistor divider - trips at 1.19 V (typ) to disable switching during open-circuit fault. |
| VP (8) | Bias supply input | Accepts 6.5–42 V DC bias - powers VCC LDO and gate driver; must include input capacitance per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the SRC pin on the TPS92561DGN?
The SRC pin on the TPS92561DGN serves as the source return path for the gate driver and the reference node for the VCC decoupling capacitor and SEN filter. It must connect directly to the source terminal of the low-side N-channel FET - not system GND - to prevent switching current spikes from corrupting current sensing. This SRC-referenced architecture enables accurate hysteretic control without ground-loop interference, and is fundamental to the TPS92561DGN's stable operation in off-line boost configurations.
Can the TPS92561DGN operate without a TRIAC dimmer in the circuit?
Yes, the TPS92561DGN operates fully functional in non-dimming applications - such as fixed-output LED lamps or constant-on commercial lighting. Its hysteretic control, OVP, thermal shutdown, and high-efficiency boost architecture remain active regardless of dimmer presence. In non-dimming mode, the ADJ pin is typically tied to a stable DC reference (e.g., from LED+ or auxiliary winding), enabling excellent line regulation and >90% efficiency. The TPS92561DGN does not require dimmer interaction to start or sustain operation.
How does the TPS92561DGN achieve high power factor without active PFC circuitry?
The TPS92561DGN achieves >0.9 power factor by connecting the ADJ pin to a resistor divider from the rectified AC line - causing the inductor current to closely follow the sinusoidal input voltage waveform. Because the boost converter draws continuous input current (unlike buck or flyback), it inherently avoids the discontinuous current draw that causes low PF in simpler topologies. This line-following behavior, enabled by the TPS92561DGN's hysteretic control and ADJ pin flexibility, eliminates need for dedicated PFC stages while maintaining compliance with ENERGY STAR and IEC 61000-3-2 standards.
What is the maximum recommended gate resistance for the TPS92561DGN in off-line applications?
The maximum recommended gate resistance for the TPS92561DGN in off-line applications is ≥75 Ω, as specified in the datasheet Pin Functions table. This value balances EMI reduction (by slowing dV/dt) against conduction losses and thermal stress on the external MOSFET. Using less than 75 Ω risks excessive radiated emissions and potential instability due to parasitic ringing; exceeding it significantly increases switching time and FET heating. A fast-turn-off diode across the resistor may be added to improve efficiency - but the base resistance must remain ≥75 Ω for reliable TPS92561DGN operation.
Does the TPS92561DGN support output short-circuit protection?
No, the TPS92561DGN does not provide output short-circuit protection. Due to its boost topology, the device cannot interrupt current flow to the LED string during an output short - the inductor and diode maintain a conductive path even when gate drive is disabled. TI explicitly states in Section 7.3.4 that LED short-circuit protection requires an external blocking switch or fuse. For safety-critical designs, an input fuse sized per IEC 61347-2-13 is mandatory - the TPS92561DGN itself relies on OVP and thermal shutdown only, not output fault isolation.
