Product details
Overview
TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade multi-topology LED current regulator for exterior lighting, supporting buck, boost, and buck-boost configurations with 4.5 V to 65 V input, up to 65 V output, and programmable constant-current regulation up to 1.5 A. It integrates spread-spectrum EMI reduction, analog/PWM dimming, and comprehensive fault handling (open/short LED, overtemperature, overvoltage) for headlamp and taillamp modules.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB datasheet, TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB pinout, TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB application, or TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include topology flexibility under battery transients (cold crank/load dump), diagnostic coverage for ASIL-B–aligned systems, current accuracy (±3%), and thermal foldback behavior in constrained rear-light housings.
Technical Context
The TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB operates as a controller-only IC-no internal power switch-enabling external MOSFET selection for optimized efficiency and thermal management across varying LED string voltages. Its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier supports accurate regulation down to 2.5 V output while maintaining stability during wide-input transients (4.5 V–65 V).
It implements a current-mode control architecture with adjustable switching frequency (100 kHz–2.2 MHz), integrated spread-spectrum modulation to reduce peak EMI, and configurable fault response (latch-off or auto-retry) for compliance with ISO 16750-2 and AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements.

FAQ
What topology configurations does the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB support?
The TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB supports buck, boost, and buck-boost topologies through external component selection-no internal switch limits its use to specific configurations. This flexibility allows one IC design to serve multiple lighting functions (e.g., DRL in buck mode, brake light in boost mode) while maintaining consistent diagnostic coverage and dimming interface behavior across all modes. The TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB achieves this via its controller-only architecture and rail-to-rail current sense capability.
Does the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB include built-in EMI reduction features?
Yes, the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB integrates spread-spectrum frequency modulation to reduce peak radiated and conducted emissions-critical for meeting CISPR 25 Class 5 requirements in automotive lighting modules. Unlike fixed-frequency controllers, its modulated switching frequency disperses energy across a bandwidth, lowering EMI peaks by >10 dB without requiring additional ferrite beads or shielding. This feature is enabled by default and configurable via external resistor.
What fault protections are implemented in the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB?
The TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB provides open-LED, short-LED, overtemperature, and overvoltage fault detection with configurable response (latch-off or auto-retry). Each fault condition triggers the open-drain FAULT pin and disables gate drive to prevent damage. These protections are hardware-based and operate independently of external microcontrollers-ensuring fail-safe behavior required for ASIL-B–compliant exterior lighting per ISO 26262. The TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB also includes thermal foldback to sustain partial operation during overheating.
Is the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS9269x-Q1 family?
Yes, the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB shares identical pinout and package (20-pin HTSSOP) with TPS92691-Q1 and TPS92692-Q1, enabling direct substitution during prototyping and qualification. All three devices support the same topology configurations, enable/dim/fault signaling, and thermal pad layout. However, spread-spectrum control and current-sense range differ between variants-so firmware and compensation networks may require validation when swapping TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB for TPS92691-Q1 or TPS92692-Q1.
What is the maximum output current capability of the TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB?
The TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB regulates LED current up to 1.5 A, determined by external sense resistor value and MOSFET selection-not by internal current limit. Its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier maintains ±3% accuracy across the full range, and thermal foldback begins at junction temperatures above 150°C to protect the IC and external FETs. For continuous 1.5 A operation, proper PCB copper area and thermal vias under the PWP package's exposed pad are required per TI's layout guidelines for TPS92690Q1PWP/NOPB.
