Product details
Overview
TPS92690PWP/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an N-channel MOSFET controller for dimmable LED drivers using low-side current sensing, supporting boost/SEPIC/flyback/Cuk topologies. It operates from 4.5 V to 75 V input, delivers adjustable output current via 50–500 mV sense threshold, features 2-Ω gate drive, and includes PWM dimming, OVP, UVLO, and thermal shutdown - deployed in automotive headlamp and industrial high-bay LED lighting systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92690PWP/NOPB datasheet, TPS92690PWP/NOPB pinout, TPS92690PWP/NOPB application, or TPS92690PWP/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include low-side current sense architecture, programmable switching frequency up to 2 MHz, analog dimming via IADJ pin, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and HTSSOP-16 exposed-pad thermal performance.
Technical Context
The TPS92690PWP/NOPB implements peak current-mode control with slope compensation to ensure stability across wide duty cycles and input/output variations. Its error amplifier regulates COMP voltage to maintain precise average LED current by comparing IADJ-derived reference (VREF/10) against CSP-sensed voltage, while IS pin monitors either external sense resistor or MOSFET RDS(on).
It integrates a 6.9-V LDO VCC regulator with 4.1-V UVLO, programmable oscillator (RT pin), external synchronization (SYNC pin), soft-start/shutdown (SS/SD pin), and dual-function nDIM for PWM dimming. Thermal shutdown activates at 175°C with 25°C hysteresis, and overvoltage protection triggers at 1.282 V on OVP pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 75 V - supports wide-input LED drivers including 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V industrial and automotive supplies. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 50 mV to 500 mV - enables high-efficiency low-side sensing with configurable accuracy vs. power loss tradeoff. |
| Switching Frequency | Up to 2 MHz - set via RT resistor or external SYNC signal; higher frequencies reduce magnetics size but increase AC losses. |
| GATE Drive Strength | 2.4 Ω sourcing / 1 Ω sinking - drives N-channel MOSFETs with fast turn-on/turn-off, minimizing switching losses. |
| VREF Output | 2.45 V ±20 mV - precision internal reference used to set IADJ and ILIM thresholds via resistor dividers. |
| OVP Threshold | 1.282 V rising edge - protects LED string and output capacitor from overvoltage failure in boost/flyback configurations. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 175°C with 25°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking conditions. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92690PWP/NOPB is housed in a 16-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal dissipation in high-power LED driver PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| nDIM | PWM dimming input | Accepts external PWM signal to modulate GATE output duty cycle; also serves as UVLO input when tied to VIN divider. |
| OVP | Overvoltage protection input | Monitors output voltage via resistor divider; triggers shutdown if exceeds 1.282 V threshold. |
| RT | Oscillator timing | Connects to AGND via resistor to set base switching frequency (e.g., 100 kΩ → 418 kHz typical). |
| SYNC | External clock sync input | Falling-edge-triggered; overrides internal oscillator when external frequency > RT-set frequency. |
| VIN | Main input supply | High-voltage input (4.5–75 V); bypassed with 100-nF ceramic capacitor near device for noise suppression. |
| VCC | Bias supply output | 6.9-V regulated LDO output; requires 2.2-µF ceramic capacitor for stable gate drive and internal circuitry. |
| IS | Current sense input | Connects to MOSFET drain or sense resistor; enables RDS(on) or discrete sensing with cycle-by-cycle limiting. |
| GATE | MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external N-channel FET; 2.4 Ω pull-up / 1 Ω pull-down ensures fast switching transitions. |
| SS/SD | Soft-start & shutdown | Capacitor sets soft-start time; pulled below 86 mV to enter <45 µA shutdown mode. |
| COMP | Error amplifier output | Connects to RC network for loop compensation; controls duty cycle based on CSP–IADJ comparison. |
| AGND | Analog ground | Reference for error amplifier, VREF, and analog pins; must be connected to PGND via thermal pad. |
| ILIM | Current limit threshold | Sets peak current limit voltage (e.g., 0.2 V → 200 mV) via resistor divider from VREF. |
| PGND | Power ground | High-current return path for MOSFET and sense resistor; tied to AGND through thermal pad. |
| CSP | Current sense positive | Connects to positive side of LED-string sense resistor; referenced to AGND for accurate current regulation. |
| IADJ | Analog dimming reference | Sets LED current target as VREF/10 (e.g., 2.45 V → 245 mV); accepts 0–5 V for analog dimming or thermal foldback. |
| VREF | Precision reference output | 2.45 V ±20 mV source for setting IADJ and ILIM thresholds; bypassed with 100-nF ceramic capacitor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-side current sensing | Enables ground-referenced LED strings and simplifies PCB layout versus high-side sensing. |
| Programmable soft-start | SS/SD pin charges external capacitor to ramp COMP voltage, preventing inrush current and output overshoot. |
| External synchronization | SYNC pin allows multi-phase or noise-sensitive systems to lock switching to external clock, reducing EMI. |
| Adjustable current limit | ILIM pin accepts resistor-divided VREF to set precise peak current threshold independent of IADJ setting. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | 175°C trip + 25°C hysteresis avoids thermal cycling; resets only after junction cools to 150°C. |
| PWM + analog dimming support | nDIM pin accepts PWM signals; IADJ pin accepts DC voltage for smooth analog dimming or thermal derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3410XMM/NOPB | Fixed 1.6 MHz frequency, no external sync, no IADJ analog dimming, lower max input (42 V), no OVP pin. | Limited to low-voltage (<42 V) boost LED drivers without overvoltage protection or thermal foldback capability. | Select when cost-sensitive, low-input-voltage, fixed-frequency designs prioritize simplicity over flexibility. |
| TPS92692PWPR | Pin-compatible upgrade with improved VREF accuracy (±0.5%), lower COMP offset (±0.5 mV), and extended temperature range (–40°C to 150°C). | Same topology support and pinout; better suited for high-reliability automotive or industrial applications requiring tighter regulation. | Choose for new designs needing enhanced accuracy and extended thermal margin; not drop-in for legacy TPS92690 layouts due to different thermal pad design. |
Compared with LM3410XMM/NOPB, TPS92690PWP/NOPB offers wider input range, OVP, and analog dimming but requires more external components; versus TPS92692PWPR, it lacks tighter VREF tolerance and extended temp rating but remains suitable for cost-optimized industrial LED drivers.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the TPS92690PWP/NOPB?
The TPS92690PWP/NOPB supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 76 V on the VIN pin, with recommended operation from 4.5 V to 75 V. This wide range enables use in 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V industrial systems as well as automotive battery-supplied LED drivers where load dump transients may occur. Exceeding 76 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the TPS92690PWP/NOPB implement analog dimming?
The TPS92690PWP/NOPB implements analog dimming via the IADJ pin, which sets the LED current regulation point as VREF/10. Applying a DC voltage from 0 V to 5 V to IADJ adjusts the target current proportionally - e.g., 2.45 V yields 245 mV across the sense resistor. Below ~0.2 V, pulse skipping occurs to maintain regulation, making it suitable for thermal foldback or low-level dimming when combined with appropriate loop compensation.
Can the TPS92690PWP/NOPB be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the TPS92690PWP/NOPB can be synchronized to an external clock using the SYNC pin. A falling edge on SYNC triggers a new GATE on-time, overriding the internal oscillator when the external frequency exceeds the RT-set base frequency. The SYNC signal must be 2.5–5 V amplitude; this feature reduces EMI in multi-converter systems and enables zero-voltage switching in quasi-resonant topologies.
What is the purpose of the SS/SD pin on the TPS92690PWP/NOPB?
The SS/SD pin on the TPS92690PWP/NOPB serves dual functions: soft-start and shutdown. Connecting a capacitor from SS/SD to AGND sets soft-start time by controlling COMP voltage ramp rate; pulling SS/SD below 86 mV (e.g., with open-drain transistor) places the device in low-power shutdown with quiescent current <65 µA. During shutdown, GATE is disabled and internal regulators are powered down.
Does the TPS92690PWP/NOPB support high-side current sensing?
No, the TPS92690PWP/NOPB supports only low-side current sensing via the CSP and IS pins, which are referenced to AGND/PGND. Its error amplifier and current sense architecture require the LED string to be connected to ground, making it incompatible with high-side sensing or floating buck/buck-boost topologies. For high-side sensing, TI recommends alternatives like the TPS92515HV.
