3 Description
With LEDs being widely used in automotive
applications, simple LED drivers are more and more
popular. Comparing to discrete solutions, a low-cost
monolithic solution lowers system-level component
count and significantly improves current accuracy and
reliability.
The TPS92613-Q1 device is a single-channel, highside LED driver operating from an automotive car
battery. It is a simple, yet elegant, solution to deliver
constant current for a single LED string with full LED
diagnostics. The one-fails–all-fail feature is able to
work together with other LED drivers, such as the
TPS9261x-Q1, TPS9263x-Q1, and TPS92830-Q1
devices, to address different requirements.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS92613-Q1 is one device of single-channel linear LED driver family including TPS92610-Q1, TPS92611Q1 and TPS92612-Q1. The family provides a simple solution for automotive LED applications. Different package
options in the family provide variable current ranges and diagnostic options. The TPS92613-Q1 device in a TO263 package supports both LED open-circuit detection and short-to-ground detection. The TPS92613-Q1 can be
used with other TPS9261x-Q1, TPS9263x-Q1 and TPS92830-Q1 family devices together to realize one-fails-allfail protection by tying all FAULT pins together as a fault bus.
The current output at OUT pin can be set by an external R(SNS) resistor. Current flows from the supply through
the R(SNS) resistor into the integrated current regulation circuit and to the LEDs through OUT pin.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Power Supply
7.3.1.1 Power-On Reset (POR)
The TPS92613-Q1 device has an internal power-on-reset (POR) function. When power is applied to the SUPPLY
pin, the internal POR circuit holds the device in reset state until V(SUPPLY) is above V(POR_rising).
7.3.1.2 Low-Quiescent-Current
The TPS92613-Q1 device consumes minimal quiescent current, less than 250 µA into SUPPLY when the FAULT
pin is externally pulled LOW. At the same time, the device shuts down the output driver.
If device detects an internal fault, it pulls down the FAULT pin by an internal typical 750-µA constant current as a
fault indication to the fault bus.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Constant-Current Driver
The TPS92613-Q1 device is a high-side current driver for driving LEDs. The device controls the output current
through regulating the voltage drop on an external high-side current-sense resistor, R(SNS). An integrated error
amplifier drives an internal power transistor to maintain the voltage drop on the current-sense resistor R(SNS) to
V(CS_REG) and therefore regulates the current output to target value. When the output current is in regulation, the
current value can be calculated by using Equation 1.
V(CS _ REG)
I(OUT)
R(SNS)
where
•
V(CS_REG) = 98 mV (typical)
(1)
When the supply voltage drops below total LED string forward voltage plus required dropout voltage, V(DROPOUT),
the TPS92613-Q1 is not able to deliver enough current output as set by the value of R(SNS), and the voltage
across the current-sense resistor R(SNS) is less than V(CS_REG).
7.3.3 PWM Control
The pulse width modulation (PWM) input of the TPS92613-Q1 functions as enable for the output current. When
the voltage applied on the PWM pin is higher than VIH(PWM), the output current is enabled. When the voltage
applied on PWM pin is lower than VIL(PWM), the output current is disabled as well as the diagnostic features.
Besides output current enable and disable function, the PWM input of TPS92613-Q1 also supports adjustment of
the average current output for brightness control if the frequency of applied PWM signal is higher than 100 Hz,
which is out of visible frequency range of human eyes. TI recommends a 200-Hz PWM signal with 1% to 100%
duty cycle input for brightness control. See to Figure 20 for typical PWM dimming application.

7.3.4 Supply Control
The TPS92613-Q1 supports supply control to turn ON and OFF output current. When the voltage applied on the
SUPPLY pin is higher than the LED string forward voltage plus needed V(DROPOUT) at required current, and the
PWM pin voltage is high, the output current is turned ON and well regulated. However, if the voltage applied on
the SUPPLY pin is lower than V(POR_falling), the output current is turned OFF. With this feature, the power-supply
voltage in the designed pattern controls the output current ON/OFF. The brightness can be adjustable if the
ON/OFF frequency is fast enough. Because of the high accuracy design of PWM threshold in TPS92613-Q1, TI
recommends a resistor divider on the PWM pin to set the SUPPLY threshold higher than LED forward voltage
plus V(DROPOUT) as shown in Figure 21. When the voltage on the PWM pin is higher than VIH(PWM), the output
current is turned ON. However, when the voltage on the PWM is lower than VIL(PWM), the output current is turned
OFF.

7.3.5 Diagnostics and Protection
The TPS92613-Q1 device provides advanced diagnostics and fault-protection features for automotive exterior
lighting systems. The device is able to detect and protect fault from LED-string short-to-GND, LED-string opencircuit and junction overtemperature scenarios. It also supports a one-fails–all-fail fault bus design that can
flexibly fit different regulatory requirements.
7.3.5.1 Open-Circuit Detection
The TPS92613-Q1 device has LED open-circuit detection. The LED open-circuit detection monitors the output
voltage when the current output is enabled. The LED open-circuit detection is only enabled when DIAGEN is
HIGH. A short-to-battery fault is also detected and recognized as an LED open-circuit fault.
The TPS92613-Q1 monitors dropout-voltage differences between the IN and OUT pins when PWM is HIGH. The
voltage difference V(IN) – V(OUT) is compared with the internal reference voltage V(OPEN_th_falling) to detect an LED
open-circuit incident. If V(IN) – V(OUT) falls below the V(OPEN_th_falling) voltage longer than the deglitch time of
t(OPEN_deg), the device asserts an open-circuit fault. Once an LED open-circuit failure is detected, the internal
constant-current sink pulls down the FAULT pin voltage. During the deglitch time period, if V(IN) – V(OUT) rises
above V(OPEN_th_rising), the deglitch timer is reset.
The TPS92613-Q1 keeps the current output enabled to retry after LED open-circuit fault is detected if the PWM
input is HIGH; the device sources a small current I(retry) from IN to OUT when PWM input is LOW. In either
scenario, once the fault condition is removed, the device resumes normal operation and releases the FAULT pin.
7.3.5.2 Short-to-GND Detection
The TPS92613-Q1 device has LED short-to-GND detection. The LED short-to-GND detection monitors the
output voltage when the output current is enabled. Once a short-to-GND LED failure is detected, the device turns
off the output channel and retries automatically, regardless of the state of the PWM input. If the retry mechanism
detects the removal of the LED short-to-GND fault, the device resumes to normal operation.
The TPS92613-Q1 monitors the V(OUT) voltage and compares it with the internal reference voltage to detect a
short-to-GND failure. If V(OUT) falls below V(SG_th_falling) longer than the deglitch time of t(SG_deg), the device asserts
the short-to-GND fault and pulls low the FAULT pin. During the deglitching time period, if V(OUT) rises above
V(SG_th_rising), the timer is reset.
Once the TPS92613-Q1 has asserted a short-to-GND fault, the device turns off the output channel and retries
automatically with a small current. During retrying the device sources a small current I(retry) from IN to OUT to pull
up the LED loads continuously. Once auto-retry detects output voltage rising above V(SG_th_falling), it clears the
short-to-GND fault and resumes to normal operation.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.5.3 Overtemperature Protection
The TPS92613-Q1 device monitors device junction temperature. When the junction temperature reaches thermal
shutdown threshold T(TSD), the output shuts down. Once the junction temperature falls below T(TSD) – T(TSD_HYS),
the device recovers to normal operation. During overtemperature protection, the FAULT pin is pulled low.
7.3.5.4 DIAGEN
The TPS92613-Q1 device supports the DIAGEN pin with an accurate threshold to disable the LED open-circuit
diagnostic functions. The DIAGEN pin can be used to enable or disable LED open-circuit protection based on
SUPPLY pin voltage sensed by an external resistor divider. When the voltage applied on DIAGEN pin is higher
than the threshold VIH(DIAGEN), the device enables LED open-circuit diagnosis. When V(DIAGEN) is lower than the
threshold VIL(DIAGEN), the device disables LED-open-circuit detection.
Only LED open-circuit detection can be disabled by pulling down the DIAGEN pin. The LED short-to-GND
detection and overtemperature protection cannot be turned off by pulling down the DIAGEN pin.
7.3.5.5 Low-Dropout Operation
When the supply voltage drops below LED string total forward voltage plus V(DROPOUT) at required current, the
TPS92613-Q1 device operates in low-dropout conditions to deliver current output as close as possible to target
value. The actual current output is less than preset value due to insufficient headroom voltage for power
transistor. As a result, the voltage across the sense resistor fails to reach the regulation target.
If the TPS92613-Q1 is designed to operate in low-dropout condition, and the open-circuit diagnostics must be
disabled by pulling the DIAGEN pin voltage lower than VIL(DIAGEN). Otherwise, the TPS92613-Q1 detects an
open-circuit fault and reports a fault indication on the FAULT pin. The DIAGEN pin is used to avoid false
diagnostics due to low supply voltage.
In low-dropout operation, a diode in parallel with the sense resistor is recommended to clamp the voltage
between SUPPLY and IN (across the sense resistor) in case of a large current pulse during recovery.
7.3.6 FAULT Bus Output With One-Fails–All-Fail
During normal operation, The FAULT pin of TPS92613-Q1 is weakly pulled up by an internal pullup current
source, I(FAULT_pullup) higher than VOH(FAULT). If any fault scenario occurs, the FAULT pin is strongly pulled low by
the internal pulldown current sink, I(FAULT_pulldown) to report out the fault alarm.
Meanwhile, the TPS92613-Q1 also monitors the FAULT pin voltage internally. If the FAULT pin of the
TPS92613-Q1 is pulled low by external current sink below VIL(FAULT), the current output is turned off even though
there is no fault detected on owned output. The device does not resume to normal operation until the FAULT pin
voltage rises above VIH(FAULT).

Feature Description (continued)
Based on this feature, the TPS92613-Q1 device is able to construct a FAULT bus by tying FAULT pins from
multiple TPS9261x-Q1, TPS9263x-Q1 or TPS92830-Q1 devices to realize one-fails-all-fail function as Figure 22
showing. The right side TPS92613-Q1 (B) detects either LED open-circuit fault or LED short-to-GND fault and
pulls low the FAULT pin. The low voltage on FAULT pin is detected by left side TPS92613-Q1 (A) because the
FAULT pins are connected of two devices. The left TPS92613-Q1 (A) turns off the output current as a result.
If the FAULT pin is externally pulled up with a current larger than I(FAULT_pulldown), the one-fails–all-fail function is
disabled and only the faulty channel is turned off.
The FAULT bus is able to support up to 15 pieces of TPS9261x-Q1, TPS9263x-Q1, or TPS92830-Q1 devices.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Undervoltage Lockout, V(SUPPLY) < V(POR_rising)
When the device is in undervoltage lockout status, the TPS92613-Q1 device disables all functions until the
supply rises above the V(POR_rising) threshold.
7.4.2 Normal Operation V(SUPPLY) ≥ 4.5 V
The device drives an LED string in normal operation. With enough voltage drop across SUPPLY and OUT, the
device is able to drive the output in constant-current mode.
7.4.3 Low-Voltage Dropout Operation
When the device drives an LED string in low-dropout operation, if the voltage drop is less than the open-circuit
detection threshold, the device may report a false open-circuit fault. TI recommends only enabling the opencircuit detection when SUPPLY voltage is enough higher than LED string voltage to avoid a false open-circuit
detection.
7.4.4 Fault Mode
When the device detects an open circuit or a shorted LED, the device tries to pull down the FAULT pin with a
constant current. If the FAULT bus is pulled down, the device switches to fault mode and consumes a fault
current of I(FAULT).

8 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.
8.1 Application Information
In automotive lighting applications, thermal performance and LED diagnostics are always design challenges for
linear LED drivers.
The TPS92613-Q1 device is capable of detecting LED open-circuit and LED short-circuits. To increase currentdriving capability, the TPS92613-Q1 device supports using an external parallel resistor to help dissipate heat as
following section Single-Channel LED Driver With Heat Sharing describes. This method provides a low-cost
solution of using external resistors to minimize thermal accumulation on the device itself due to large voltage
difference between input voltage and LED string forward voltage, while still keeping high accuracy of the total
current output. Note that the one-fails–all-fail feature is not supported by this topology.
8.2 Typical Applications

STEP 2: Design the threshold voltage for SUPPLY to enable the LED open-circuit diagnostics and calculate the
resistor divider value.
LED-string maximum forward voltage = 3 × 2.5 V = 7.5 V. To avoid the open-circuit fault reported in low-dropout
operation conditions, additional headroom between SUPPLY and OUT needs to be considered. The TPS92613Q1 device must disable open-circuit detection when the supply voltage is below LED-string maximum forward
voltage plus maximum V(OPEN_th_rising) and maximum V(CS_REG). The voltage divider resistor, R1 and R2 value can
be calculated by Equation 3.

(3)
The calculated result for R2 is 65.7 kΩ when V(OUT) maximum voltage is 7.5 V.
STEP 3: Thermal analysis for the worst application conditions.
Normally the thermal analysis is necessary for linear LED-driver applications to ensure that the operation junction
temperature of TPS92613-Q1 is well managed. The total power consumption on the TPS92613-Q1 itself is one
important factor determining operation junction temperature, and it can be calculated by using Equation 4. Based
on the worst-case analysis for maximum power consumption on device, consider either optimizing PCB layout for
better power dissipation as Layout describes or adding an extra heat-sharing resistor as described in SingleChannel LED Driver With Heat Sharing.

In this application, the calculated result for maximum power consumption on the TPS92613-Q1 is 2.55 W at
V(SUPPLY) = 16 V and I(LED) = 250 mA conditions.
TI recommends to add capacitors C(SUPPLY) at SUPPLY and C(OUT)at OUT. TI recommends one 1-μF capacitor
plus one 100-nF decoupling ceramic capacitor close to the SUPPLY pin for C(SUPPLY) and a 10-nF ceramic
capacitor close to the OUT pin for C(OUT). The larger capacitor for C(SUPPLY) or C(OUT) is helpful for EMI and ESD
immunity; however, large C(OUT) takes a longer time to charge up the capacitor and may affect PWM dimming
performance.

Using parallel resistors, thermal performance can be improved by balancing current between the TPS92613-Q1

the LED string current I(LED) is set by V(CS_REG) / R(SNS), while the TPS92613-Q1 current I(DRIVE) and parallel
resistor current I(P) combine to the total current.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Note that the parallel resistor path cannot be shut down by PWM or fault protection. If PWM control is required,
TI recommends an application circuit as described in Figure 27.
In linear LED driver applications, the large input voltage variation generates the most of the thermal concerns.
The resistor current, as indicated by Ohm's law, depends on the voltage across the external resistors. The
TPS92613-Q1 controls the driver current I(DRIVE) to attain the desired total current. If I(P) increases, the
TPS92613-Q1 device decreases I(DRIVE) to compensate, and vice versa.
While in low-dropout operation, the voltage across the R(P) resistor may be close to zero, so that almost no
current can flow through the external resistor R(P).
When the input voltage is high, the parallel-resistor current I(P) is proportional to the voltage across the parallel
resistor R(P). The parallel resistor R(P) takes the majority of the total string current, generating maximum heat.
In this case, the parallel resistor value must be carefully calculated to ensure that 1) enough output current is
achieved in low-dropout operation, 2) thermal dissipation for both the TPS92613-Q1 device and the resistor is
within their thermal dissipation limits, and 3) device current in the high-voltage mode is above the minimal outputcurrent requirement.

The calculated result for R(SNS) is 0.196 Ω.
STEP 2: Calculate the parallel resistor, R(P) value by using Equation 6.
The parallel resistor R(P) is recommended to consume 50% of the total current at maximum supply voltage.

The calculated result for R(P) is about 40 Ω at V(SUPPLY) = 16 V.
STEP 3: Design the threshold voltage for SUPPLY to enable the LED open-circuit diagnostics and calculate
voltage divider resistor value for R1 and R2.
LED-string maximum forward voltage = 3 × 2.5 V = 7.5 V. To avoid the open-circuit fault reported in low-dropout
operation conditions, additional headroom between SUPPLY and OUT needs to be considered. The TPS92613Q1 device must disable open-circuit detection when the supply voltage is below LED-string maximum forward
voltage plus maximum V(OPEN_th_rising) and maximum V(CS_REG). The voltage divider resistor, R1 and R2 value can
be calculated by Equation 7.

The calculated result for R2 is 65.7 kΩ when V(OUT) maximum voltage is 7.5 V.
STEP 4: Design the threshold voltage for PWM to enable current output and calculate voltage divider resistor
value for R3 and R4.
Because the supply control is adopted for the LED ON/OFF and brightness control, a pulse square voltage with
power capability is applied on the SUPPLY pin to enable and disable current output to OUT. In order to ensure
the current output of TPS92613-Q1 is fully enabled when applied voltage on SUPPLY pin is high enough and the
current output is truly shutdown when the applied voltage goes low. A voltage divider from supply to control PWM
needs to be designed to setup a threshold of supply voltage. The resistor R3 and R4 of voltage divider can be
calculated by Equation 8.

for EMI and ESD immunity, however large C(OUT) takes a longer time to charge up the capacitor and could affect
PWM dimming performance.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS92613-Q1 is designed to operate from an automobile electrical power system within the range specified
in the Recommended Operating Conditions. The V(SUPPLY) input must be protected from reverse voltage and
voltage dump condition over 40 V. The impedance of the input supply rail must be low enough that the input
current transient does not cause drop below LED string required forward voltage. If the input supply is connected
with long wires, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to normal input capacitor.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Thermal dissipation is the primary consideration for TPS92613-Q1 layout. TI recommends large thermal
dissipation area connected to thermal pads with multiple thermal vias.
