Product details
Overview
TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel automotive-grade LED driver IC designed for high-brightness headlight applications. It implements a peak-current-mode boost controller with dual regulation loops (constant-current and constant-voltage), 150-mV high-side current-sense threshold, 2.2-V ±5% internal voltage reference, and integrated 0.7-A low-side NMOS gate driver. It operates across 4 V–40 V input and supports up to 75 V output in boost, SEPIC, or flyback topologies.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 datasheet, TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 pinout, TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 application, or TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 equivalent, this device is selected for AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive front lighting systems requiring precise LED current control, diagnostic feedback via analog DIAG output, PWM/analog dimming support, and robust fault protection including open-LED, short-to-GND, and overvoltage detection.
Technical Context
The TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 integrates a fixed-frequency current-mode PWM controller with internal slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation across its full duty-cycle range. Its dual-loop architecture enables independent configuration of current-regulation (via ISP1/ISN1 shunt sensing) and voltage-regulation (via OVFB1 resistor divider), with automatic fallback to the inactive loop during fault conditions-e.g., voltage loop limiting output during open-LED events.
It features synchronized 100 kHz–600 kHz switching via external RT resistor or external clock signal, integrated 6.6-V VCC LDO with 80-mA sourcing capability, and two dedicated gate drivers: a 0.7-A low-side NMOS driver (GDRV1) for boost FET control and a high-side PMOS driver (PWMO1) for PWM dimming and short-circuit cutoff. Diagnostics include analog current tracking on DIAG1 (0.2–2.85 V range) and digital fault flags for open/short LED detection.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the TPS92601BQPWPRQ1?
The TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 supports an output voltage range of 4 V to 75 V, with an absolute maximum rating of 80 V. This enables reliable operation in boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies driving multi-LED strings typical in automotive headlights. The device includes overvoltage shutdown at 40.7 V on VIN and monitors VOUT1 via OVFB1 against the 2.2-V internal reference to enforce safe regulation limits.
How does the TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 implement LED current accuracy and sensing?
The TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 achieves ±4% LED current accuracy using a high-side current-sense architecture with 150-mV nominal threshold across the ISP1/ISN1 inputs and ±6-mV offset voltage. It employs a dedicated current-sense amplifier with 5-V/V gain and common-mode range of 4 V–74 V, allowing direct placement on the LED-string high side. The ICTRL1 pin provides analog dimming control with 10× scaling, and DIAG1 outputs a proportional analog voltage (0.2–2.85 V) for closed-loop verification.
Can the TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 supports external clock synchronization via the RT pin. Applying a square wave with 100–600 kHz frequency, transitions below 0.8 V and above 2 V, and minimum pulse width of 70 ns synchronizes the internal oscillator to the external source. This feature enables EMI reduction through spread-spectrum alignment and coordinated switching in multi-channel systems without requiring additional timing ICs.
What protection features are integrated into the TPS92601BQPWPRQ1?
The TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 integrates comprehensive protection: undervoltage lockout (UVLO at 4 V), overvoltage shutdown (OVSH at 40.7 V), thermal shutdown (165°C with 20°C hysteresis), open-LED and short-to-GND detection (reported via DIAG1), shorted-output protection, and leading-edge blanking (200 ns) on ISNS1. These features eliminate need for external fault-handling circuitry and ensure compliance with ISO 16750-2 automotive electrical stress requirements.
Is the TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS9260x-Q1 family?
The TPS92601BQPWPRQ1 shares identical 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) packaging and pinout with TPS92601QPWPRQ1 and TPS92601AQPWPRQ1, enabling drop-in replacement where sense-voltage and EEPROM requirements align. However, it is not pin-compatible with dual-channel variants like TPS92602BQPWPRQ1 (28-pin), which has different pin assignments and additional channel-specific signals. Always verify sense-threshold selection and EEPROM configuration before substitution.
