Product details
Overview
TPS92692QPWPTQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive LED controller for high-accuracy constant-current LED drivers in boost, buck, or buck-boost topologies. It delivers ±4% LED current accuracy over –40°C to +150°C, supports 4.5 V–65 V input, integrates spread-spectrum frequency modulation for EMI reduction, and provides dual dimming (analog IADJ and PWM DIM/PWM) with >15:1 analog and >1000:1 PWM dimming range - used in automotive exterior lighting and driver monitoring systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 datasheet, TPS92692QPWPTQ1 pinout, TPS92692QPWPTQ1 application, or TPS92692QPWPTQ1 equivalent, key selection considerations include its peak-current-mode control architecture, rail-to-rail current sense amplifier (CSP/CSN), integrated P-channel gate driver (PDRV), fault reporting via IMON and open-drain FLT, and thermal shutdown at 175°C.
Technical Context
The TPS92692QPWPTQ1 implements fixed-frequency peak-current-mode control with adaptive slope compensation (SLOPE pin) and internal triangle-wave PWM generation (RAMP pin). Its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier enables accurate LED current measurement across wide common-mode voltage (6.5 V–60 V) and supports external current sensing via CSP/CSN with 14× gain and 170.7 mV nominal threshold at 2.1 V IADJ.
It integrates dual regulation paths: a 7.5 V/36 mA LDO for GATE driver and internal circuitry (VCC), and a 5 V/36 mA reference supply (VREF); both feature UVLO (4.5 V rising / 4.1 V falling) and current limiting. Fault protection includes cycle-by-cycle IS overcurrent detection (250 mV threshold), OV/UVP (programmable via resistor divider on OV), thermal shutdown (175°C), and auto-restart hiccup mode enabled by FLT-to-SS connection.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | High-voltage input supply | Bypassed with RC filter (10 Ω + 10 nF) to suppress noise from automotive battery rail before internal regulators. |
| VREF (2) | 5 V reference output | Powers external circuitry (e.g., ADCs, sensors); decoupled with 2.2–4.7 µF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| FLT (3) | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low on OV/UVP/IS fault; tied to SS to enable auto-restart hiccup mode after fault clearance. |
| SS (4) | Soft-start timing and fault reset | Capacitor sets startup ramp time; shorting to GND forces shutdown - used for system-level enable/disable. |
| DM (5) | Spread-spectrum modulation control | Capacitor to GND sets triangle-wave frequency (0.1–12 kHz); grounding disables spread spectrum. |
| RT (6) | Oscillator frequency programming | Resistor to GND sets switching frequency (80–800 kHz); sync clock accepted via AC coupling. |
| COMP (7) | Error amplifier output | Transconductance node (121 µA/V); connects compensation network (R/C) for loop stability in current regulation. |
| IMON (8) | LED current monitor output | Voltage output = 14 × ILED × RCS; enables real-time current readback and cable-fault detection. |
| IADJ (9) | Analog current reference input | High-impedance (10.5 nA bias) input; 0.14–2.25 V range sets VCSP-CSN threshold linearly for analog dimming. |
| DIM/PWM (10) | Dimming command interface | Accepts 1–3 V analog input for internal PWM generation or direct PWM signal (with RAMP=249 kΩ to GND). |
| RAMP (11) | Internal PWM generator timing | Capacitor to GND sets triangle wave frequency (100–2000 Hz); 249 kΩ to GND disables generator for direct PWM. |
| PDRV (12) | P-channel series FET gate driver | Drives external P-MOSFET for series PWM dimming and LED string disconnect during fault conditions. |
| CSN (13) | Current sense negative input | Connects directly to low-side of current sense resistor (RCS) - no external filtering required. |
| CSP (14) | Current sense positive input | Connects directly to high-side of RCS; supports common-mode up to 60 V - enables high-side sensing in buck-boost. |
| OV (15) | Output voltage monitor | Resistor divider from LED string cathode to GND sets OV/UVP thresholds (1.228 V OVP, 100 mV UVP typical). |
| SLOPE (16) | Adaptive slope compensation | Resistor to GND sets ramp amplitude to prevent subharmonic oscillation in duty cycles >50%. |
| GND (17) | Analog & power ground | Single-point return for all analog and power circuits; connected to thermal pad for optimal thermal performance. |
| IS (18) | Switch current sense input | Monitors main switch current; 250 mV threshold triggers cycle-by-cycle current limit and fault reporting. |
| GATE (19) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | Drives external N-MOSFET switch; 5.4 Ω high-side / 4.3 Ω low-side resistance supports fast turn-on/off. |
| VCC (20) | 7.5 V bias supply output | Powers internal logic and GATE driver; requires 2.2–4.7 µF local ceramic decoupling; UVLO at 4.5 V. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the TPS92692QPWPTQ1?
The TPS92692QPWPTQ1 supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 65 V on the VIN pin, with recommended operation from 4.5 V to 65 V. This range accommodates automotive battery crank (4.5 V) and load-dump events without external clamping, making it suitable for direct connection to 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems. The TPS92692QPWPTQ1 internal regulators remain functional across this full range.
How does the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 achieve ±4% LED current accuracy over temperature?
The TPS92692QPWPTQ1 achieves better than ±4% LED current accuracy from –40°C to +150°C through a combination of rail-to-rail current sense amplifier design, temperature-compensated internal references, and factory-trimmed current sense threshold (170.7 mV nominal at 2.1 V IADJ). Its IADJ input scales the threshold linearly, enabling system-level thermal derating without sacrificing accuracy - a key requirement verified in AEC-Q100 stress testing for the TPS92692QPWPTQ1.
Can the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 drive both boost and buck LED topologies?
Yes, the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 is explicitly designed to support step-up (boost), step-down (buck), and buck-boost LED driver topologies. Its rail-to-rail current sense amplifier (CSP/CSN) accepts common-mode voltages from 6.5 V to 60 V, and its peak-current-mode control architecture adapts to inductor current direction and polarity. Reference schematics in the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 datasheet confirm functional operation in all three configurations.
What is the function of the PDRV pin on the TPS92692QPWPTQ1?
The PDRV pin on the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 is a dedicated gate driver output for an external P-channel MOSFET placed in series with the LED string. It enables active PWM dimming independent of the main switching FET and provides fault-safe LED string disconnect during overvoltage, undervoltage, or thermal shutdown events - a critical feature for ASIL-B compliant automotive lighting systems using the TPS92692QPWPTQ1.
Does the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 include built-in EMI reduction features?
Yes, the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 incorporates spread-spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) controlled via the DM pin. By modulating the switching frequency with a user-programmable triangle wave (0.1–12 kHz), it spreads electromagnetic energy across a wider bandwidth, reducing peak radiated and conducted emissions. This feature is confirmed in the TPS92692QPWPTQ1 datasheet and eliminates the need for additional EMI filter components in space-constrained automotive modules.
