The TPS6115x is a high-frequency boost converter
with two regulated current outputs for driving WLEDs.
Each current output can be individually programmed
through external resistors. There is a dedicated
selection pin for each output so the two outputs can
be turned on separately or simultaneously. The
output current can be reduced by a pulse width
modulation (PWM) signal on SEL pins or an analog
voltage on the ISET pins, resulting in PWM dimming
of the WLEDs. The boost regulator runs at a 1.2-MHz
fixed switching frequency to reduce output ripple and
avoid audible noises associated with pulse frequency
modulation (PFM) control.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS6115x is a two-channel WLED driver with an integrated inductive boost converter. The boost converter
generates the bias voltage for the LED string while the two integrated low-side current sinks independently
regulate the current in LED strings from VIN to 29 V. Independent LED string dimming is provided via a PWM
input at the SEL1 and SEL2 inputs.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Start-Up
During start-up, both the boost converter and the current sink circuitry ramp up simultaneously to establish a
steady state. The current sink circuitry ramps up current in 16 steps with each step taking 64 clock cycles. This
period ensures that the current sink loop is slower than the boost converter response during start-up. Therefore,
the boost converter output comes up slowly as current sink circuitry ramps up the current. This configuration
ensures a smooth start-up and minimizes in-rush current.
8.3.2 Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
To prevent the boost output runaway as the result of WLED disconnection, there is an overvoltage protection
circuit that stops the boost converter from switching as soon as its output exceeds the OVP threshold. When the
voltage falls below the OVP threshold, the converter resumes switching.
The two OVP options offer the choices to prevent a 25-V rated output capacitor or the internal 30-V FET from
breaking down.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout prevents device malfunction at input voltages below 1.65 V (typical). When the input
voltage is below the undervoltage threshold, the device remains off, and both the boost converter and current
sink circuit are turned off, providing isolation between input and output.
8.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown turns off the device when the typical junction temperature of 160°C is exceeded.
The thermal shutdown has a hysteresis of typically 15°C.
8.3.5 Enable
Pulling either the SEL1 or SEL2 pin low turns off the corresponding output. If both SEL1 and SEL2 are low for
more than 40 ms, the device shuts down and consumes less than 1 μA current. The SEL pin can also be used
for PWM brightness dimming. To improve PWM dimming linearity, soft start is disabled if the time from the falling
and rising edges of two adjacent SELx pulses is less than 40 ms. See the Application and Implementation
section for details.
Each SEL input pin has an internal pulldown resistor to disable the device when the pin is floating.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Current Regulation
The TPS6115x uses a single boost regulator to drive two WLED strings, each with independently programmable
current. The boost converter adopts PWM control which is ideal for high output current and low output ripple
noises. The feedback loop regulates the IFB pins to a threshold voltage (330 mV typical), giving the current sink
circuit just enough headroom to operate.
The regulation current is set by the resistor on the ISET pin based on Equation 1.
VISET
IO
u KISET
RSET
Where:
•
•
•
•
IO = output current
VISET = ISET pin voltage (1.229 V typical)
RSET = ISET pin resistor value
KISET = current multiplier (900 typical)
(1)
When both outputs are enabled, the boost converter provides enough power to provide the demanded current
through IFB1 and IFB2 while keeping the voltage at IOUT high enough to meet the forward voltage drops of the
WLEDs. Specifically, at start-up, the boost converter increases its output power, and therefore the output voltage,
from IOUT until IFB1 reaches its regulated voltage. Once IFB1 is within regulation, the device looks to the IFB2
voltage and may increase V(IOUT) further to get IFB2 in regulation. After both IFB pins reach regulation, the
feedback path dynamically switches to whichever IFB pin drops more than the IFB low hysteresis voltage (60 mV
typical) below its regulation voltage. This architecture ensures proper current regulation for both IFB1 pins;
however, the voltage at one IFB pin is higher than the minimum required regulation voltage. The overall
efficiency when both strings are on depends on the voltage difference between the IFB1 and IFB2 pins. A large
difference reduces the efficiency as a result of power losses across the current sink circuit of the IFB pin with the
higher drop.

9 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The standard application circuit is shown in Figure 8. Typical VIN range is from a single cell Li+ battery. LED
strings voltages can be as high as 28 V (TPS61150) or 22 V (TPS61151). LED string voltage mismatch is
allowed due to the adaptive feedback headroom voltage which dynamically looks for and regulates the highest
voltage string.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Maximum Output Current
The overcurrent limit in a boost converter limits the maximum input current (and thus the maximum input power)
for a given input voltage. Maximum output power is less than the maximum input power because of power
conversion losses. Therefore, the current limit, input voltage, output voltage, and efficiency can all change
maximum current output. Because current limit clamps peak inductor current, ripple must be subtracted to derive
the maximum DC current. The ripple current is a function of switching frequency, inductor value, and duty cycle.
Equation 2 and Equation 3 take all of the above factors into account for maximum output current calculation.

To keep a tight range on the overcurrent limit, the TPS6115x uses the VIN and IOUT pin voltages to compensate
for the overcurrent limit variation caused by the slope compensation. However, the current threshold still has a
residual dependency on the VIN and IOUT voltages. Use Figure 1 and Figure 2 to identify the typical overcurrent
limit in a specific application, and use a ±25% tolerance to account for temperature dependency and process
variations.
The maximum output current can also be limited by the current capability of the current-sink circuitry. It is
designed to provide a maximum 35-mA current regardless of the current capability of the boost converter.
9.2.2.2 WLED Brightness Dimming
There are three ways to change the output current on the fly for WLED dimming. The first method parallels an
additional resistor with the ISET pin resistor as shown in Figure 9. The switch (Q1) can change the ISET pin
resistance, and therefore modify the output current. This method is very simple, but can provide only limited
dimming steps.

Alternatively, a PWM dimming signal at the SEL pin can modulate the output current by the duty cycle of the
signal. The logic high of the signal turns on the current sink circuit, while the logic low turns it off. This operation
creates an averaged DC output current proportional to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The frequency of the
PWM signal must be high enough to avoid flashing of the WLEDs. The soft start of the current sink circuit is
disabled during the PWM dimming to improve linearity.
The major concern of the PWM dimming is the creation of audible noises that can come from the inductor or
output capacitor of the boost converter, or both. The audible noises on the output capacitor are created by the
presence of voltage ripple in range of audible frequencies. The TPS6115x alleviates the problem by
disconnecting the WLEDs from the output capacitor when the SEL pin is low. Therefore, the output capacitor is
not discharged by the WLEDs, and thus reduces the voltage ripple during PWM dimming.
The audible noises can be eliminated by using a PWM dimming frequency above or below the audible frequency
range. The maximum PWM dimming frequency of the TPS6115x is determined by the current settling time
(Tisink), which is the time required for the sink circuit to reach a steady state after the SEL pin transitions from low
to high. The maximum dimming frequency can be calculated by Equation 4:
DMIN
FPWM_MAX
TISINK
Where:
•
DMIN = min duty cycle of the PWM dimming required in the application
(4)
For 20% DMIN, a PWM dimming frequency up to 33 kHz is possible, putting the noise frequency above the
audible range.
Because the TPS61150/1 dynamically regulates one IFB pin voltage, its output voltage can have a large ripple
during PWM dimming as shown in Figure 6. This ripple may cause ceramic output capacitors to ring audibly. To
reduce the output ripple, the configurations shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 are recommended for PWM
dimming. In Figure 16, both current strings have the same number of LEDs and the same PWM signal. In
Figure 17, one string (in this case, string 2) is not PWM dimmed and has a greater total forward voltage drop
than string 1, either because of having more LEDs than string 1 or because of adding a resistor in series with
string 2. Therefore, IFB2 controls the regulation regardless of the PWM signal on IFB1, and the output ripple is
significantly reduced when string 1 is dimmed. The circuit in Figure 17 could have been reconfigured with string 1
having the larger total forward drop.
The third method uses an external DC voltage and resistor as shown in Figure 10 to change the ISET pin
current, and thus control the output current. The DC voltage can be the output of a filtered PWM signal. The
formulas to calculate the output current is given by Equation 5 and Equation 6.

9.2.2.3 Inductor Selection
Because the selection of the inductor affects the power supply steady-state operation, transient behavior, and
loop stability, the inductor is the key component in power regulator design. Three specifications are the most
important to the performance of the inductor: the inductor value, DC resistance (DCR), and saturation current.
Considering the inductor value alone is not enough.
The inductor inductance value determines the inductor ripple current. It is generally recommended to set peak-topeak ripple current given by Equation 2 to betweeen 30% to 40% of DC current. It is a good compromise of
power loss and inductor size. For this reason, 10-μH inductors are recommended for the TPS6115x. Inductor DC
current can be calculated as Equation 7.
VIOUT u IOUT
IL_DC
VIN u K
(7)
Use the maximum load current and minimum Vin for calculation.
The internal loop compensation for PWM control is optimized for the external component shown in the Figure 8
with consideration of component tolerance. Inductor values can have ±20% tolerance with no current bias. When
the inductor current approaches saturation level, its inductance can decrease 20% to 35% from the 0-A value,
depending on how the inductor vendor defines saturation. Using an inductor with a smaller inductance value
forces discontinuous PWM in which the inductor current ramps down to zero before the end of each switching
cycle, reduces the boost converter maximum output current, and causes large input voltage ripple. An inductor
with larger inductance reduces the gain and phase margin of the feedback loop, possibly resulting in instability.
Regulator efficiency depends on the resistance of its high current path and switching losses associated with the
PWM switch and power diode. Although the TPS6115x has optimized the internal switches, the overall efficiency
still relies on inductor DCR; lower DCR improves efficiency. However, there is a trade-off between DCR and
inductor size, and shielded inductors typically have higher DCR than unshielded ones. A DCR in range of 150
mΩ to 350 mΩ is suitable for applications that require both on mode. A DCR is the range of 250 mΩ to 450 mΩ
is a good choice for single output applications. Table 5 and Table 6 list some recommended inductor models.

9.2.2.4 Input and Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is primarily selected for the output ripple of the converter. This ripple voltage is the sum of
the ripple caused by the capacitor capacitance and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Assuming a capacitor
with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated by Equation 8.

Where:
•
VRIPPLE = peak-to-peak output ripple
(8)
For VIN = 3.6 V, VIOUT = 20 V, and FS = 1.2 MHz, 0.1% ripple (20 mV) would require a 1-μF capacitor. For this
value, ceramic capacitors are the best choice for size, cost, and availability.
The additional output ripple component caused by ESR is calculated using Equation 9:
Vripple_ESR = Iout × RESR
(9)
As a result of its low ESR, Vripple_ESR can be neglected for ceramic capacitors, but must be considered if tantalum
or electrolytic capacitors are used.
During a load transient, the capacitor at the output of the boost converter must supply or absorb additional
current before the inductor current ramps up the steady-state value. Larger capacitors always help to reduce the
voltage over- and undershoot during a load transient. A larger capacitor also helps loop stability.
Care must be taken when evaluating ceramic capacitor derating because of the applied DC voltage, aging, and
frequency response. For example, larger form-factor capacitors (in size 1206) have self-resonant frequencies in
the range of the TPS6115x switching frequency. Therefore, the effective capacitance is significantly lower for
these capacitors. As a result, it may be necessary to use small capacitors in parallel instead of one large
capacitor.

ceramic capacitors are:

10 Power Supply Recommendations
Apply an input voltage between 2.5 V and 6 V. Bypass IN with a ceramic capacitor as close to the VIN pin and
GND pin as possible in order to filter switching noise.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
As for all switching power supplies, especially those providing high current and using high switching frequencies,
printed circuit board (PCB) layout is an important design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator could
show instability as well as electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for
high current paths. The input capacitor must not only be close to the VIN pin, but also to the GND pin in order to
reduce the input ripple seen by the device. The VIN and SW pins are conveniently located on the edges of the
device; therefore, the inductor can be placed close to the device. The output capacitor must be placed near the
load to minimize ripple and maximize transient performance.
It is also beneficial to have the ground of the output capacitor close to the GND pin because there will be a large
ground return current flowing between these two connections. When laying out the signal ground, use short
traces separated from power ground traces, and connect them together at a single point on the PCB.
