Product details
Overview
TPS92692PWPT from Texas Instruments is a high-accuracy peak current mode LED controller for boost/buck LED driver topologies, supporting 4.5 V–65 V input, ±4% LED current accuracy over –40°C to 150°C, spread-spectrum EMI reduction, and integrated P-channel gate driver (PDRV) for series FET dimming. It enables automotive exterior lighting with fault reporting via IMON and open-drain FLT.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92692PWPT datasheet, TPS92692PWPT pinout, TPS92692PWPT application, or TPS92692PWPT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20-pin HTSSOP package with PowerPAD™, dual dimming (analog IADJ + PWM DIM/PWM), rail-to-rail current sense amplifier (CSP/CSN), and automotive-grade thermal robustness up to 150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The TPS92692PWPT implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with adaptive slope compensation (SLOPE pin) and internal triangle-wave PWM generator (RAMP pin). Its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier delivers 14× gain for precise LED current monitoring, while spread-spectrum modulation (DM pin) reduces EMI by dithering switching frequency between 80 kHz and 800 kHz.
It integrates dual regulation paths: a 7.5 V LDO (VCC) powering gate drivers and logic, and a 5 V reference (VREF) for analog circuitry. Fault protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limit (IS), output over/undervoltage detection (OV), thermal shutdown (175°C), and auto-restart hiccup mode enabled via FLT-to-SS connection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 65 V - supports wide automotive battery range including cold-crank (4.5 V) and load-dump transients. |
| LED Current Accuracy | Better than ±4% over –40°C to 150°C - enables stable brightness in under-hood and headlamp environments without recalibration. |
| Switching Frequency | 80 kHz to 800 kHz (RT-programmable) - allows optimization of magnetics size vs. EMI performance. |
| Dimming Range | Analog: >15:1 linear (via IADJ); PWM: >1000:1 (via DIM/PWM) - supports both smooth analog fade and high-contrast strobing. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 170.7 mV (typ) at VIADJ = 2.42 V - sets LED current with 100 mΩ sense resistor yielding 1.707 A full-scale. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 40.8°C/W (HTSSOP-20 with PowerPAD™) - requires PCB thermal vias to ground plane for sustained 150°C operation. |
| Fault Reporting | IMON = 14 × ILED × RCS (voltage output); FLT = open-drain flag for OV/UVP/OCP - enables real-time diagnostics without external ADC. |
Pinout & Package
TPS92692PWPT is housed in a 20-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with exposed thermal pad (PowerPAD™), measuring 5.10 mm × 6.60 mm. The thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias for reliable thermal performance at 150°C junction temperature.

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 switching frequency; no spread spectrum; no PDRV output; ±6% current accuracy over temperature. | Limited to lower-power (<1 A) boost-only designs; lacks automotive qualification and comprehensive fault reporting. | Select for cost-sensitive, non-automotive boost LED drivers where EMI filtering is handled externally. |
| TPS92515HV-Q1 | Integrated 2-A N-channel MOSFET; no PDRV; 1.5% typical current accuracy; supports 65-V input but no spread spectrum. | Higher integration reduces BOM count but limits topology flexibility; no series-FET dimming capability. | Choose when board space is constrained and series dimming is not required; verify thermal margin for 2-A internal FET. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the TPS92692PWPT?
The TPS92692PWPT has a maximum junction temperature rating of 150°C, with thermal shutdown activated at 175°C and 25°C hysteresis. This rating is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements, enabling reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed LED luminaires where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
How does the TPS92692PWPT implement analog dimming?
The TPS92692PWPT implements analog dimming through the IADJ pin, which accepts an external voltage from 0.14 V to 2.25 V to set the LED current sense threshold (VCSP–CSN). At 2.42 V IADJ, the threshold is 170.7 mV; scaling IADJ linearly adjusts this threshold, achieving >15:1 contrast ratio with high-impedance input (10.5 nA bias current) for minimal loading.
Can the TPS92692PWPT drive both N-channel and P-channel MOSFETs simultaneously?
Yes - the TPS92692PWPT drives an external N-channel MOSFET via the GATE pin for primary switching and a P-channel MOSFET via the PDRV pin for series dimming or fault disconnect. GATE supports 500 mA pulsed current; PDRV delivers 50 mA sink current with 7.4 V on-state voltage at VCSP = 14 V, enabling coordinated control of both FETs.
What protection features does the TPS92692PWPT provide for LED string faults?
The TPS92692PWPT provides cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection (IS pin), output overvoltage/undervoltage detection (OV pin), thermal shutdown (175°C), and open-drain FLT flag reporting all three faults. Connecting FLT to SS enables auto-restart (hiccup) mode, while IMON provides continuous analog current monitoring for cable break or LED short detection.
Is the TPS92692PWPT pin-compatible with the TPS92692-Q1?
Yes - the TPS92692PWPT and TPS92692-Q1 share identical pinout, package (HTSSOP-20 PWP), and electrical specifications. The TPS92692-Q1 adds AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification and enhanced ESD ratings (±750 V CDM on pins 1/10/11/20), while the TPS92692PWPT is the commercial-grade variant with identical functional behavior and layout compatibility.
