Product details
Overview
TPS92641PWPR/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a high-voltage synchronous buck LED controller with shunt-FET PWM dimming capability, operating from 7 V to 85 V input, supporting up to 5 A LED current, featuring 3 V ±2% precision reference, 2-Ω/1-A peak gate drivers, and 20,000:1 shunt FET PWM dimming ratio for automotive and architectural LED lighting.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB datasheet, TPS92641PWPR/NOPB pinout, TPS92641PWPR/NOPB application, or TPS92641PWPR/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified functional specifications, validated HTSSOP-16 package mapping, confirmed shunt-dimming driver timing (tSDIM-RIS = 68–100 ns), real-world thermal performance (RθJA = 38.7 °C/W), and direct alternative part comparisons - all extracted from TI's SNVS902A datasheet and official product documentation.
Technical Context
The TPS92641PWPR/NOPB implements valley-current-mode control with controlled-on-time architecture, eliminating need for slope compensation while maintaining near-constant switching frequency across 7–85 V input and wide output voltage ranges. Its dual-function UDIM pin serves both as programmable UVLO input (1.276 V threshold, 21 µA hysteresis current) and PWM dimming command interface.
It integrates dedicated SDRV output (5.6–30 Ω sourcing resistance) and SDIM input (1.29–1.74 V rising threshold, 0.5 V falling threshold) exclusively for shunt-FET dimming - a feature absent in TPS92640 - enabling true zero-current analog dimming via IADJ-controlled error amplifier with ±600 µV offset voltage and auto-zero calibration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 7 V to 85 V - supports wide-input LED systems including 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V automotive and industrial rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Shunt PWM Dimming Ratio | 20,000:1 - enables ultra-fine brightness control in high-end architectural and automotive exterior lighting where deep dimming is critical. |
| VREF Accuracy | 3.00 V ±2% - provides stable reference for precision current-sense threshold scaling and microcontroller bias supply. |
| Gate Drive Strength | 2 Ω sourcing / 1.1–4.5 Ω sinking - drives high-side and low-side NFETs with fast edge rates while allowing series resistor tuning for EMI mitigation. |
| SDRV Timing Delay | tSDIM-RIS = 68–100 ns - ensures tight synchronization between PWM command and shunt-FET turn-on, minimizing dimming jitter and ghosting. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 38.7 °C/W (HTSSOP-16) - enables 1.5 W continuous dissipation at 85°C ambient with standard PCB copper area and 6–9 DAP vias. |
| UVLO Threshold | UDIM start-up = 1.276 V ±66 mV - allows precise, resistor-programmable input undervoltage lockout independent of dimming function. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92641PWPR/NOPB is housed in a 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 4.40 mm × 5.00 mm with exposed thermal pad (DAP). The DAP requires 6–9 vias to internal GND plane for optimal thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Power Input | High-voltage input rail connection (7–85 V); bypassed with 1-µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin. |
| RON | Frequency Set | Connects external resistor to VIN to program switching frequency; internal pulldown 35–120 Ω enables default operation if left open. |
| UDIM | UVLO / PWM Input | Dual-function pin: 1.276 V UVLO threshold with 21 µA hysteresis current; also accepts PWM signal for main-FET dimming. |
| VOUT | Feedback Sense | Scaled-down output voltage feedback node; connects to resistor divider for overvoltage protection (2.85–3.25 V threshold). |
| VREF | Reference Output | 3.00 V ±2% precision voltage source; bypassed with 100-nF ceramic capacitor for stability and noise rejection. |
| IADJ | Analog Dimming Input | Adjusts LED current sense threshold (VCSREF = VIADJ/10); supports thermal foldback when connected to NTC network. |
| COMP | Loop Compensation | Output of error amplifier; connects to GND via ceramic capacitor (e.g., 0.47 µF) to set loop bandwidth and phase margin. |
| SDIM | Shunt PWM Input | Exclusive to TPS92641; 1.29–1.74 V rising threshold triggers shunt-FET dimming path with sub-100 ns propagation delay. |
| HG | High-Side Driver | Drives gate of external high-side NFET; 3.9–6 Ω sourcing resistance allows EMI-optimized series gate resistor placement. |
| SW | Switch Node | Connection to buck converter switch node; routes to BOOT capacitor and external high-side FET source. |
| BOOT | Bootstrap Supply | Provides boosted gate drive voltage for HG; requires 100-nF ceramic capacitor between BOOT and SW pins. |
| VCC | Bias Supply | Internally regulated ~8.5 V output; bypassed with 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor to support gate drivers and internal circuitry. |
| LG | Low-Side Driver | Drives gate of external low-side NFET; 1.5–6 Ω sourcing resistance enables slew-rate control for EMI reduction. |
| CS | Current Sense | Connects to positive terminal of LED string sense resistor; regulates VCS to VIADJ/10 with ±600 µV offset. |
| GND | System Ground | Primary ground reference; must be tied to DAP thermal pad via multiple vias for thermal and noise integrity. |
| SDRV | Shunt Driver Output | Drives gate of external shunt NFET for high-resolution PWM dimming; 5.6–30 Ω sourcing resistance supports fast turn-on. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS92640PWPR | Omits SDIM/SDRV pins and shunt-FET dimming functionality; identical pinout except 14-pin HTSSOP; same VIN, VREF, gate drive specs. | Not suitable for applications requiring >2500:1 PWM dimming or true-zero current; limited to main-FET dimming only. | Select TPS92640PWPR only when shunt dimming is unnecessary and board space allows 14-pin footprint reduction. |
| LM3410XMYX/NOPB | Single-stage buck controller with integrated 1.5-A MOSFET; no shunt dimming; lower VIN max (42 V); fixed 1.23 V reference; no UDIM dual-function capability. | Targeted at low-power (<1 A), low-input-voltage LED modules; lacks programmable UVLO, thermal shutdown, and high-accuracy reference. | Choose LM3410XMYX/NOPB for cost-sensitive, compact designs below 42 V input and <1 A output where advanced dimming is not required. |
Compared with TPS92641PWPR/NOPB, TPS92640PWPR removes shunt-dimming capability but retains identical control architecture and thermal performance in smaller package, while LM3410XMYX/NOPB trades integration and voltage range for simplicity and lower BOM cost - making TPS92641PWPR/NOPB the sole choice for high-voltage, ultra-deep-dimming LED systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB?
The TPS92641PWPR/NOPB supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 90 V and operates continuously across 7 V to 85 V, enabling compatibility with 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V automotive and industrial power buses - including cold-crank transients up to 85 V sustained.
Does the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB support true-zero LED current during analog dimming?
Yes, the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB supports true-zero LED current via its auto-zero error amplifier (±600 µV offset) and valley-current control architecture. When IADJ is driven to 0 V, the controller maintains CCM operation and regulates average inductor current to zero - requiring only an external ROFF resistor from VOUT to CS for proper startup and ripple handling.
How does the SDIM/SDRV interface differ between TPS92641PWPR/NOPB and TPS92640PWPR?
The SDIM input and SDRV output are exclusive to the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB and are absent in TPS92640PWPR. TPS92641PWPR/NOPB uses these pins to drive an external shunt FET with 68–100 ns rising delay and 5.6–30 Ω sourcing resistance - enabling 20,000:1 PWM dimming - whereas TPS92640PWPR/NOPB relies solely on UDIM-driven main-FET dimming (2500:1 max).
What thermal performance can be expected from the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB in a standard PCB layout?
In a typical 2-layer PCB with 1 oz copper, 6–9 thermal vias under the DAP pad, and 1 in² of 2-oz inner-layer copper pour, the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB achieves RθJA = 38.7 °C/W. At 1.2 W dissipation and 85°C ambient, junction temperature remains at 132°C - within the 125°C rated limit only with adequate airflow or reduced load; derating is recommended above 1 W continuous.
Can the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB be used without an external shunt FET?
Yes, the TPS92641PWPR/NOPB functions fully as a standard synchronous buck LED controller even with SDIM floating and SDRV unused. Its core regulation, UDIM-based PWM dimming, analog dimming via IADJ, and protection features remain fully operational - the shunt-FET path is optional and adds only when ultra-deep dimming or true-zero capability is required.
