Product details
Overview
TPS92633QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to 125°C) three-channel automotive high-side LED driver with thermal sharing via external shunt resistors, ±5% current accuracy over temperature, 150-mA per channel output, and integrated diagnostics including LED open/short-to-GND detection - deployed in rear lamps and center high-mounted stop lamps.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92633QPWPRQ1 datasheet, TPS92633QPWPRQ1 pinout, TPS92633QPWPRQ1 application, or TPS92633QPWPRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal sharing architecture, real-world diagnostic timing (e.g., 125-µs deglitch for open-circuit faults), and precise current-setting resistor relationships per channel.
Technical Context
The TPS92633QPWPRQ1 implements a linear high-side current regulation architecture using external sense resistors (RSNSx) to set per-channel output current up to 150 mA, with VCS_REG programmable from 46 mV to 416 mV via ICTRL voltage (0–2.75 V). Its thermal sharing design routes power dissipation externally through RESx pins paired with shunt resistors, reducing junction temperature rise while maintaining operation up to 150°C.
Diagnostics are hardware-automated: LED open-circuit detection triggers at 180–420 mV ΔV across INx–OUTx; short-to-GND uses 1.14–1.26 V threshold on OUTx; single LED short detection leverages SLS_REF reference with adjustable threshold; fault recovery includes auto-retry intervals (10 ms retry period, 50 µs recovery delay) and configurable one-fails-all-fail or N−1 fault bus behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input voltage range | 4.5 V to 40 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery with cold-crank and load-dump transients. |
| Max output current per channel | 150 mA - enables driving multiple high-brightness LEDs per channel without external boost stages. |
| Current accuracy | ±5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent luminance across vehicle operating temperatures. |
| Dropout voltage | 600 mV at 150 mA - minimizes headroom loss in low-VF LED strings and improves efficiency at low supply voltages. |
| Diagnostic deglitch time | 125 µs for LED open/short - prevents false triggering during PWM transitions or supply transients. |
| Thermal shutdown threshold | 157–187°C with 15°C hysteresis - protects device during sustained overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
| Supply current in fault mode | 0.21–0.45 mA - reduces system power draw when FAULT is pulled low, supporting fail-safe energy management. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92633QPWPRQ1 is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 6.50 mm × 4.40 mm with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in automotive under-hood environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SUPPLY (1) | Power input | Accepts 4.5–40 V automotive supply; powers internal circuitry and drives all three channels. |
| EN (2) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; places device in ultra-low shutdown current (14–26 µA) when low. |
| IN1–IN3 (3–5) | Current-sense inputs | Reference nodes for RSNSx resistors; each sets independent channel current via VCS_REG. |
| DIAGEN (6) | Diagnostics enable | Disables open-circuit and single-LED short detection during low-dropout operation to prevent false faults. |
| PWM1–PWM3 (7–9) | Brightness control | Independent PWM inputs per channel; support >100 Hz dimming with <5 µs current rise/fall times. |
| FAULT (10) | Fault bus output | Open-drain output configurable for one-fails-all-fail or N−1 operation; pulls low on any detected fault. |
| ICTRL (11) | Analog current control | Outputs 10×IIREF; voltage here (0–2.75 V) programs VCS_REG for brightness binning or NTC-based derating. |
| SLS_REF (12) | Single LED short reference | Provides adjustable threshold for detecting partial short circuits in multi-LED strings. |
| IREF (13) | Reference current source | 100 µA (typ.) current source; sets base scaling for ICTRL and SLS_REF; requires 12.3-kΩ resistor to GND. |
| GND (14) | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; connects to thermal pad for thermal conduction. |
| OUT3–OUT1 (15–19) | High-side current outputs | Drive LED anodes directly; each pairs with corresponding RESx pin for thermal sharing. |
| RES3–RES1 (16,18,20) | External shunt outputs | Route portion of channel current (≥95%) through external resistors to offload power dissipation from die. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Thermal sharing via RESx pins | Routes ≥95% of channel current externally, reducing on-die power dissipation and enabling higher ambient temperature operation. |
| Off-board brightness binning | Supports remote placement of binning resistor on LED board via ICTRL pin, simplifying manufacturing and enabling per-unit luminance calibration. |
| NTC-based current derating | Allows direct connection of NTC thermistor to ICTRL to reduce LED current as temperature rises - protecting LEDs and optics. |
| Auto-recovery fault handling | Recovers automatically from LED open, short-to-GND, and single-LED short faults after deglitch and retry cycles - no MCU intervention required. |
| Configurable fault bus | FAULT pin supports either one-fails-all-fail (system-level shutdown) or N−1 (only failed channel disabled) modes via external pull-up/down. |
Applications
| Rear Lamp Assembly | Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS92630QPWPRQ1 | Two-channel version; identical thermal sharing, diagnostics, and ICTRL architecture but lacks third channel and RES3/OUT3 pins. | Suitable for dual-string applications (e.g., side markers); not usable where three independent outputs are required. | Select when BOM cost reduction is prioritized and system only needs two regulated LED strings. |
| TPS92638QPWPRQ1 | Three-channel with integrated 5-V LDO regulator; adds 150-mA auxiliary supply for microcontrollers or sensors; same pinout except added LDO pins. | Enables single-chip power + LED control in space-constrained modules; increases quiescent current slightly (2.8 mA vs 2.5 mA). | Choose when local 5-V rail is needed and PCB area is limited - avoids discrete LDO and associated passives. |
Compared with TPS92633QPWPRQ1, TPS92630QPWPRQ1 reduces channel count and footprint but sacrifices flexibility in triple-string designs, while TPS92638QPWPRQ1 adds system integration value at the cost of marginally higher supply current and pin count.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for TPS92633QPWPRQ1 in automotive applications?
The TPS92633QPWPRQ1 is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 with an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Its junction temperature can reach up to +150°C, and thermal shutdown activates between 157°C and 187°C with 15°C hysteresis - ensuring safe operation under hood and trunk conditions where airflow is limited. This rating is validated per TI's production data sheet SLVSF65A.
How does TPS92633QPWPRQ1 implement thermal sharing, and what external components are required?
The TPS92633QPWPRQ1 implements thermal sharing by splitting each channel's output current between OUTx and RESx pins, routing ≥95% of current through external shunt resistors (e.g., 56 Ω or 64.9 Ω) connected to RESx. This offloads power dissipation from the die, reducing junction temperature rise. Required components include RSNSx sense resistors for current setting and RRESx shunts - both specified in the datasheet's typical application diagram and power dissipation curves.
Can TPS92633QPWPRQ1 support off-board LED brightness binning, and how is it configured?
Yes, TPS92633QPWPRQ1 supports off-board brightness binning via its ICTRL pin. A binning resistor is placed remotely on the LED board in series with a local decoupling resistor (RICTRL1) near the IC. The combined resistance sets VCS_REG, adjusting output current per channel. TI recommends a 10-nF capacitor at ICTRL and specifies that RICTRL1 must be placed close to the pin to ensure noise immunity - enabling per-lamp luminance calibration without reworking the main PCB.
What diagnostic features does TPS92633QPWPRQ1 provide, and how do they recover from faults?
TPS92633QPWPRQ1 provides LED open-circuit detection (180–420 mV threshold), LED short-to-GND detection (1.14–1.26 V), and single LED short detection using SLS_REF. All faults trigger FAULT pin assertion and enter auto-recovery mode: after 125-µs deglitch, the device retries operation every 10 ms (for single LED short) or immediately (for open/short-to-GND), restoring output if the fault clears - eliminating need for host MCU intervention in transient conditions.
Is TPS92633QPWPRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS926xx-Q1 family?
No, TPS92633QPWPRQ1 is not pin-compatible with TPS92630QPWPRQ1 or TPS92638QPWPRQ1. While all use the same 20-pin HTSSOP package, pin assignments differ: TPS92630QPWPRQ1 omits RES3/OUT3 and related control pins, and TPS92638QPWPRQ1 adds LDO-related pins (e.g., LDOIN, LDOOUT). PCB layout must be specific to TPS92633QPWPRQ1; migration requires schematic and layout revision.
