Overview
TPS92691QPWPRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade LED controller IC supporting boost, buck, and buck-boost topologies for constant-current LED string driving. It features 4.5 V to 65 V input voltage range, rail-to-rail current sense amplifier (0 V–60 V common-mode), ±3% LED current accuracy over –40°C to 140°C, and integrated DDRV gate driver for >1000:1 PWM dimming - used in automotive exterior lighting systems requiring high reliability under wide temperature and supply variation.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 datasheet, TPS92691QPWPRQ1 pinout, TPS92691QPWPRQ1 application, or TPS92691QPWPRQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, programmable 80–700 kHz switching frequency, high-side/low-side current sense flexibility, analog dimming via IADJ (140 mV–2.25 V), and comprehensive fault protection including OVP, thermal shutdown, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
Technical Context
The TPS92691QPWPRQ1 implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with programmable slope compensation and soft-start timing. Its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier supports both high-side and low-side shunt configurations, enabling topology-agnostic LED current sensing across 0 V–60 V output voltage range.
It integrates dual gate drivers: GATE for main power switch control and DDRV for external series FET dimming, with independent 500 mA peak source/sink capability. Fault management includes hysteresis-based OVP (1.24 V threshold), VCC UVLO (4.1 V rising), and thermal shutdown at 175°C with 25°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
TPS92691QPWPRQ1 is housed in a 16-pin HTSSOP package (5.10 mm × 6.60 mm) with exposed PowerPAD™ for thermal dissipation. The PowerPAD must be connected to PCB ground plane using multiple vias.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input supply for internal VCC regulator | Bypassed with 100 nF capacitor; supports up to 65 V input and enables operation during battery crank (4.5 V). |
| SS | Soft-start programming | Capacitor-to-AGND sets startup time; shorting to AGND disables switching - used for system-level sequencing. |
| RT/SYNC | Oscillator frequency programming / synchronization input | Resistor-to-AGND sets fSW (80–700 kHz); AC-coupled external clock synchronizes switching - critical for EMI reduction in multi-channel systems. |
| PWM | PWM dimming control input | Schmitt-trigger input (2.0–2.7 V logic); directly gates GATE and DDRV outputs - enables fast, jitter-free dimming control. |
| COMP | Transconductance error amplifier output | Connects RC network for loop stability; 121 µA/V gain ensures robust closed-loop regulation against LED Vf drift. |
| IADJ | Analog LED current reference input | High-impedance (90 nA bias) input; 0.14–2.25 V range sets LED current threshold with 15:1 linear dimming ratio. |
| IMON | Continuous LED current monitor output | Voltage output = 14 × ILED × RCS; enables real-time open/short detection and cable fault diagnosis without additional circuitry. |
| AGND / PGND | Analog and power ground returns | Must be tied to exposed PowerPAD; separation minimizes noise coupling into current sense path. |
| CSP / CSN | Rail-to-rail current sense amplifier inputs | Differential inputs with <±6 mV offset over temp; support 0–60 V common-mode - eliminates need for level-shifting in high-voltage strings. |
| GATE | Main N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | 500 mA peak drive; low RGH/RGL (5.4 Ω / 4.3 Ω) ensures fast switching and reduced MOSFET conduction losses. |
| DDRV | Series FET dimming gate driver output | Independent 500 mA driver; enables >1000:1 contrast ratio with external N-FET - essential for ADB pixel control. |
| OVP | Hysteretic overvoltage protection input | Resistor divider sets OVP threshold (1.24 V typical); 20 µA hysteresis current defines recovery window - protects LEDs from open-circuit overvoltage. |
| IS | Switch current sense input | Monitors peak switch current for cycle-by-cycle limiting; 525 mV threshold with 150 ns blanking - prevents false triggering from switching spikes. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 for LED string driving?
The TPS92691QPWPRQ1 supports a wide output voltage range up to 65 V, with its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier rated for 0 V to 60 V common-mode voltage. This enables reliable operation with LED strings containing up to 20+ white LEDs (typically ~3.2 V each) while maintaining ±3% current accuracy across temperature. The device itself is not limited by output voltage but by the external MOSFET and diode ratings in the chosen topology.
Does the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 support both high-side and low-side current sensing configurations?
Yes, the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 supports both high-side and low-side current sensing thanks to its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier with 0 V to 60 V common-mode input range. The CSP and CSN pins accept differential voltage across the sense resistor regardless of whether it is placed between the LED cathode and ground (low-side) or between VIN and LED anode (high-side), providing topology flexibility for EMI and layout optimization.
How does the DDRV pin on the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 enable >1000:1 PWM dimming?
The DDRV pin on the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 is a dedicated 500 mA gate driver output that controls an external N-channel MOSFET placed in series with the LED string. By modulating DDRV with precise PWM timing (54 ns rise/fall delay), the device achieves >1000:1 contrast ratio - far exceeding what is possible with analog dimming alone. This enables adaptive driving beam (ADB) and other high-fidelity lighting effects requiring deep, flicker-free dimming.
What fault protection features are integrated into the TPS92691QPWPRQ1?
The TPS92691QPWPRQ1 integrates VCC undervoltage lockout (UVLO), output overvoltage protection (OVP), cycle-by-cycle switch current limiting, thermal shutdown (175°C), and LED open/short detection via the IMON output. These features eliminate the need for external supervision circuits in automotive lighting modules and ensure safe operation during battery transients, thermal overload, or wiring faults.
Is the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the TPS926xx-Q1 family?
No, the TPS92691QPWPRQ1 is not pin-compatible with other TPS926xx-Q1 devices such as TPS92682QPWPRQ1 or TPS92633QPWPRQ1. Its 16-pin HTSSOP layout includes unique signal assignments including DDRV, IMON, and dual current sense inputs (CSP/CSN), which differ from variants offering fewer features or different topologies. Board redesign is required when substituting across this family.
