Product details
Overview
TPS92643QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive synchronous buck LED driver delivering up to 3-A continuous LED current with ±4% accuracy, adaptive on-time current control, and 100 kHz–2.2 MHz programmable switching frequency. It operates from 5.5 V to 36 V input, supports load dump up to 40 V for 400 ms, and integrates fault diagnostics including LED short/open, cable harness fault, and thermal shutdown - deployed in headlight and front fog light modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92643QPWPRQ1 datasheet, TPS92643QPWPRQ1 pinout, TPS92643QPWPRQ1 application, or TPS92643QPWPRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin HTSSOP thermally enhanced package, valley-current-based adaptive on-time architecture, dual dimming (1000:1 PWM / 15:1 analog), integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs, and functional safety documentation support for ASIL-B system design.
Technical Context
The TPS92643QPWPRQ1 implements adaptive on-time average current mode control using inductor valley current detection, enabling near-constant switching frequency across wide VIN–VOUT ranges. Its rail-to-rail transconductance error amplifier (450 µA/V, 3-MHz GBW) closes the loop via CSP/CSN differential sensing, with IADJ-programmable reference (140 mV–2.4 V → 10 mV–175 mV sense threshold).
It integrates dual N-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON-HS) = 65–130 mΩ, RDS(ON-LS) = 67–130 mΩ), a 5-V LDO bias regulator (4.75–5.25 V, ±200 mV UVLO hysteresis), internal 1.5-kHz ramp generator for APWM-to-PWM translation, and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with 71-ns blanking time.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS92643QPWPRQ1 is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-pin HTSSOP package (6.6 mm × 5.1 mm, 0.65-mm pitch) with exposed PowerPAD connected to AGND/PGND for optimal thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1,2 SW | Switch node | Internally connects high- and low-side MOSFET drains; drives external power inductor - requires low-inductance layout to minimize switching loss and EMI. |
| 3 BST | Bootstrap supply input | Charges high-side gate driver via internal diode; requires ceramic capacitor (0.1–2.2 µF) between BST and SW - critical for reliable high-side FET turn-on. |
| 4 VCC | Bias supply output | 5-V regulated LDO output (4.75–5.25 V); powers internal circuitry and bootstrap - must be decoupled with 2.2–4.7 µF ceramic cap close to pin. |
| 5 IADJ | Analog current reference input | Sets LED current reference (10–175 mV) via 140 mV–2.4 V voltage; high-impedance input enables precise binning and thermal foldback when paired with NTC. |
| 6 COMP | Error amplifier output | Transconductance amplifier output requiring integral compensation network (capacitor to AGND) - determines loop stability and transient response. |
| 7 AGND | Analog ground | Reference return for internal voltage references and analog circuits; must be tied to PCB ground plane with multiple vias under PowerPAD. |
| 8 APWM | Analog-to-PWM dimming input | Accepts 1–2.45 V analog signal; internally compared to 1.5-kHz ramp to generate PWM duty cycle - enables smooth analog-controlled dimming. |
| 9 FLT | Fault indicator output | Open-drain active-low output signaling LED short/open, cable fault, or thermal shutdown - requires external pull-up to VCC for system monitoring. |
| 10 CSN | Negative current sense input | Connects to low-side of external RCS sense resistor; forms differential pair with CSP for valley-current detection - enables accurate closed-loop regulation. |
| 11 CSP | Positive current sense input | Connects to high-side of RCS; rail-to-rail input with 55 µA bias current - supports low-offset sensing with ceramic or aluminum capacitors. |
| 12 UDIM | UVLO & external PWM input | Configurable undervoltage lockout threshold (1.075–1.27 V) and accepts external PWM signal - enables system-level enable/disable and dimming control. |
| 13 RON | On-time programming pin | Resistor-to-VIN sets switching frequency per fSW = 1/(10×10⁻¹² × RON) - allows precise frequency tuning without external clock source. |
| 14,15 VIN | Main power input | High-current input (5.5–36 V) connecting to battery and bulk bypass caps; shortest possible path to PGND required for EMI suppression. |
| 16 PGND | Power ground | Return path for low-side MOSFET and input capacitors; must be bonded to AGND and PowerPAD - essential for thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous LED current supported by the TPS92643QPWPRQ1?
The TPS92643QPWPRQ1 supports up to 3-A continuous LED current with better than ±4% accuracy over input voltage, output voltage, and ambient temperature (–40°C to +125°C). This specification is validated under recommended operating conditions with proper thermal management using the HTSSOP PowerPAD and PCB copper area.
Does the TPS92643QPWPRQ1 integrate both high-side and low-side power MOSFETs?
Yes, the TPS92643QPWPRQ1 integrates both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs with typical RDS(ON) values of 65–130 mΩ each. This monolithic integration eliminates external switch selection, reduces layout complexity, and improves efficiency in space-constrained automotive LED driver designs.
How does the adaptive on-time control in the TPS92643QPWPRQ1 maintain switching frequency stability?
The TPS92643QPWPRQ1 uses adaptive on-time control where the one-shot timer duration is inversely proportional to VIN and directly proportional to VCSP. This results in near-constant switching frequency (100 kHz–2.2 MHz) across varying input/output conditions - calculated as fSW = 1/(10×10⁻¹² × RON) - without requiring an external oscillator.
Can the TPS92643QPWPRQ1 operate during automotive load dump events?
Yes, the TPS92643QPWPRQ1 supports 40-V input for up to 400 ms, meeting ISO 7637-2 and SAE J1113-11 load dump requirements. Its 36-V absolute maximum VIN rating and robust internal protection ensure uninterrupted operation during transient overvoltage events in 12-V and 24-V automotive systems.
What dimming methods does the TPS92643QPWPRQ1 support, and what are their respective ranges?
The TPS92643QPWPRQ1 supports two independent dimming methods: 1000:1 precision PWM dimming via UDIM or APWM pins, and 15:1 linear analog dimming via the IADJ pin (140 mV–2.4 V input → 10 mV–175 mV sense threshold). Both interfaces can be used simultaneously for hybrid dimming schemes.
