SOT-23 Package
The default white LED current is set with the external
sensor resistor Rset, and the feedback voltage is
regulated to 200 mV, as shown in the Typical
Application section. During the operation, the LED
current can be controlled using the 1-wire digital
interface (EasyScale™ protocol) through the CTRL
pin. Alternatively, a pulse width modulation (PWM)
signal can be applied to the CTRL pin through which
the duty cycle determines the feedback reference
voltage. In either digital or PWM mode, the
TPS61165-Q1 device does not burst the LED current;
therefore, the device does not generate audible
noises on the output capacitor. For maximum
protection, the TPS61165-Q1 device features
integrated open LED protection that disables it to
prevent the output from exceeding its absolute
maximum voltage ratings during open LED
conditions.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS61165-Q1 device is a high-efficiency, high-output voltage boost converter in small package size. The
device is ideal for driving white LEDs in series. The serial LED connection provides even illumination by sourcing
the same output current through all LEDs, eliminating the need for expensive factory calibration. The device
integrates 40-V and 1.2-A switch FET and operates in pulse width modulation (PWM) with 1.2-MHz fixed
switching frequency. For operation see Functional Block Diagram. The duty cycle of the converter is set by the
error amplifier output and the current signal applied to the PWM control comparator. The control architecture is
based on traditional current-mode control; therefore, slope compensation is added to the current signal to allow
stable operation for duty cycles larger than 40%. The feedback loop regulates the FB pin to a low reference
voltage (200 mV typical), reducing the power dissipation in the current sense resistor.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Soft Start-Up
Soft-start circuitry is integrated into the IC to avoid a high inrush current during start-up. After the device is
enabled, the voltage at FB pin ramps up to the reference voltage in 32 steps; each step takes 213 μs. This
ensures that the output voltage rises slowly to reduce the input current. Additionally, for the first 5 ms after the
COMP voltage ramps, the current limit of the switch is set to half of the normal current limit specification. During
this period, the input current is kept below 700 mA (typical). These two features ensure smooth start-up and
minimize the inrush current. See the start-up waveform of a typical example (Figure 9).

SLVSB73B – DECEMBER 2011 – REVISED MAY 2015
Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Open LED Protection
Open LED protection circuitry prevents IC damage as the result of white LED disconnection. The TPS61165-Q1
device monitors the voltage at the SW pin and FB pin during each switching cycle. The circuitry turns off the
switch FET and shuts down the IC when both of the following conditions persist for 8 switching clock cycles: (1)
the SW voltage exceeds the VOVP threshold and (2) the FB voltage is less than half of regulation voltage. As a
result, the output voltage falls to the level of the input supply. The device remains in shutdown mode until it is
enabled by toggling the CTRL pin. The product of the number of external series LEDs and each LED's maximum
forward voltage plus the 200-mV reference voltage does not exceed the 38-V minimum OVP threshold or (NLEDS
X VLED(MAX) + 200 mV ≤ 38 V.
7.3.3 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout prevents operation of the device at input voltages below 2.2 V (typical). When the input
voltage is below the undervoltage threshold, the device shuts down and the internal switch FET is turned off. If
the input voltage rises by undervoltage lockout hysteresis, the IC restarts.
7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown turns off the device when the typical junction temperature exceeds 160°C. The
device is released from shutdown automatically when the junction temperature decreases by 15°C.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown
The TPS61165-Q1 enters shutdown mode when the CTRL voltage is logic low for more than 2.5 ms. During
shutdown, the input supply current for the device is less than 1 μA (maximum). Although the internal FET does
not switch in shutdown, there is still a DC current path between the input and the LEDs through the inductor and
Schottky diode. The minimum forward voltage of the LED array must exceed the maximum input voltage to
ensure that the LEDs remain off in shutdown.
7.5 Programming
7.5.1 Current Program
The FB voltage is regulated by a low 0.2-V reference voltage. The LED current is programmed externally using a
current-sense resistor in series with the LED string. The value of the RSET is calculated using Equation 1.
V
ILED = FB
RSET
where
•
•
•
ILED = output current of LEDs
VFB = regulated voltage of FB
RSET = current sense resistor
(1)
The output current tolerance depends on the FB accuracy and the current sensor resistor accuracy.
7.5.2 LED Brightness Dimming Mode Selection
The CTRL pin is used for the control input for both dimming modes, PWM dimming and the 1 wire dimming. The
dimming mode for the TPS61165-Q1 device is selected each time the device is enabled. The default dimming
mode is PWM dimming. To enter 1-wire mode, the following digital pattern on the CTRL pin must be recognized
by the IC every time the IC starts from the shutdown mode.
1. Pull CTRL pin high to enable the TPS61165-Q1 device, and to start the 1-wire detection window.
2. After the EasyScale detection delay (tes_delay, 100 μs) expires, drive CTRL low for more than the EasyScale
detection time (tes_detect, 260 μs).
3. The CTRL pin must be low for more than EasyScale detection time before the EasyScale detection window
(tes_win, 1 ms) expires. EasyScale detection window starts from the first CTRL pin low to high transition.

Programming (continued)
The IC immediately enters the 1-wire mode once the above three conditions are met. the EasyScale
communication can start before the detection window expires. Once the dimming mode is programmed, it cannot
be changed without another start-up. This means the IC needs to be shut down by pulling the CTRL low for 2.5
ms and restarts. See the Dimming Mode Detection and Soft Start (see Figure 11) for a graphical explanation.

7.5.3 PWM Brightness Dimming
When the CTRL pin is constantly high, the FB voltage is regulated to 200 mV typically. However, the CTRL pin
allows a PWM signal to reduce this regulation voltage; therefore, it achieves LED brightness dimming. The
relationship between the duty cycle and FB voltage is given by Equation 2:
VFB = Duty ´ 200 mV
where
•
•
Duty = duty cycle of the PWM signal
200 mV = internal reference voltage
(2)
As shown in Figure 12, the IC chops up the internal 200-mV reference voltage at the duty cycle of the PWM
signal. The pulse signal is then filtered by an internal low pass filter. The output of the filter is connected to the
error amplifier as the reference voltage for the FB pin regulation. Therefore, although a PWM signal is used for
brightness dimming, only the WLED DC current is modulated, which is often referred as analog dimming. This
eliminates the audible noise which often occurs when the LED current is pulsed in replica of the frequency and
duty cycle of PWM control. Unlike other methods which filters the PWM signal for analog dimming, TPS61165Q1 device's regulation voltage is independent of the PWM logic voltage level which often has large variations.
For optimum performance, use the PWM dimming frequency in the range of 5 kHz to 100 kHz. The requirement
of minimum dimming frequency comes from the EasyScale detection delay and detection time specification in the
dimming mode selection. Because the CTRL pin is logic only pin, adding an external RC filter applied to the pin
does not work.
To use lower PWM dimming, add external RC network connected to the FB pin as shown in the additional typical
application, .

7.5.4 Digital 1 Wire Brightness Dimming
The CTRL pin features a simple digital interface to allow digital brightness control. The digital dimming can save
the processor power and battery life as it does not require a PWM signal all the time, and the processor can
enter idle mode if available.
The TPS61165-Q1 device adopts the EasyScale protocol for the digital dimming, which can program the FB
voltage to any of the 32 steps with single command. The step increment increases with the voltage to produce
pseudo logarithmic curve for the brightness step. See Table 2 for the FB pin voltage steps. The default step is
full scale when the device is first enabled (VFB = 200 mV). The programmed reference voltage is stored in an
internal register and will not be changed by pulling CTRL low for 2.5 ms and then re-enabling the IC by taking
CTRL high. A power reset clears the register value and reset it to default.
7.5.5 EasyScale: 1 Wire Digital Dimming
EasyScale is a simple but flexible 1-pin interface to configure the FB voltage. The interface is based on a masterslave structure, where the master is typically a microcontroller or application processor. Figure 13 and Table 3
give an overview of the protocol. The protocol consists of a device specific address byte and a data byte. The
device specific address byte is fixed to 72 hex. The data byte consists of 5 bits for information, 2 address bits,
and the RFA bit. The RFA bit set to high indicates the Request for Acknowledge condition. The Acknowledge
condition is applied only if the protocol was received correctly. The advantage of EasyScale compared with other
1-pin interfaces is that its bit detection is in a large extent independent from the bit transmission rate. It can
automatically detect bit rates between 1.7 kbps and up to 160 kbps.

The bit detection is based on a Logic Detection scheme, where the criterion is the relation between tLOW and
tHIGH. It can be simplified to:
High Bit: tHIGH > tLOW, but with tHIGH at least 2x tLOW, see Figure 14.
Low Bit: tHIGH < tLOW, but with tLOW at least 2x tHIGH, see Figure 14.
The bit detection starts with a falling edge on the CTRL pin and ends with the next falling edge. Depending on
the relation between tHIGH and tLOW, the logic 0 or 1 is detected.
The acknowledge condition is only applied if:
• Acknowledge is requested by a set RFA bit.
• The transmitted device address matches with the device address of the device.
• 16 bits is received correctly.
If the device turns on the internal ACKN-MOSFET and pulls the CTRL pin low for the time tACKN, which is 512 μs
maximum then the Acknowledge condition is valid after an internal delay time tvalACK. This means that the internal
ACKN-MOSFET is turned on after tvalACK, when the last falling edge of the protocol was detected. The master
controller keeps the line low in this period. The master device can detect the acknowledge condition with its input
by releasing the CTRL pin after tvalACK and read back a logic 0. The CTRL pin can be used again after the
acknowledge condition ends.
The acknowledge condition may only be requested if the master device has an open-drain output. For a pushpull output stage, the use a series resistor in the CRTL line to limit the current to 500 μA is recommended to for
such cases as:
• Accidentally requested acknowledge.
• Protect the internal ACKN-MOSFET.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedures
8.2.2.1 Maximum Output Current
The overcurrent limit in a boost converter limits the maximum input current and thus maximum input power for a
given input voltage. Maximum output power is less than maximum input power due to power conversion losses.
Therefore, the current limit setting, input voltage, output voltage and efficiency can all change maximum current
output. The current limit clamps the peak inductor current; therefore, the ripple must be subtracted to derive
maximum DC current. The ripple current is a function of switching frequency, inductor value and duty cycle. Use
Equation 3 and Equation 4 consider of all the above factors for maximum output current calculation.

where
•
•
•
•
•
Ip = inductor peak to peak ripple
L = inductor value
Vf = Schottky diode forward voltage
Fs = switching frequency
Vout = output voltage of the boost converter. It is equal to the sum of VFB and the voltage drop across
LEDs.
I out _ max =

Vin ´ (I lim - I p / 2) ´h
Vout
where
•
•
•
Iout_max = Maximum output current of the boost converter
Ilim = over current limit
η = efficiency
(4)
For instance, when VIN is 3 V, 8 LEDs output equivalent to VOUT of 26 V, the inductor is 22 μH, the Schottky
forward voltage is 0.2 V; and then the maximum output current is 110 mA in typical condition. When VIN is 5 V,
10 LEDs output equivalent to VOUT of 32 V, the inductor is 22 μH, the Schottky forward voltage is 0.2 V; and
then the maximum output current is 150 mA in typical condition.
8.2.2.2 Inductor Selection
The selection of the inductor affects steady state operation as well as transient behavior and loop stability. These
factors make it the most important component in power regulator design. There are three important inductor
specifications, inductor value, DC resistance and saturation current. Considering inductor value alone is not
enough.
The inductor value determines the inductor ripple current. Choose an inductor that can handle the necessary
peak current without saturating, according to half of the peak-to-peak ripple current given by Equation 3, pause
the inductor DC current given by:
Vout ´ I out
I in _ DC =
Vin ´ h
(5)
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 current. Using an inductor with a smaller inductance value forces discontinuous PWM when the
inductor current ramps down to zero before the end of each switching cycle. This reduces the boost converter’s
maximum output current, causes large input voltage ripple and reduces efficiency. Large inductance value
provides much more output current and higher conversion efficiency. For these reasons, a 10 μH to 22 μH
inductor value range is recommended. A 22 μH inductor optimized the efficiency for most application while
maintaining low inductor peak to peak ripple. Table 5 lists the recommended inductor for the TPS61165-Q1
device. When recommending inductor value, the factory has considered –40% and +20% tolerance from its
nominal value.

TPS61165-Q1 device has built-in slope compensation to avoid subharmonic oscillation associated with current
mode control. If the inductor value is lower than 10 μH, the slope compensation may not be adequate, and the
loop can be unstable. Therefore, customers need to verify the inductor in their application if it is different from the
recommended values.

8.2.2.3 Schottky Diode Selection
The high switching frequency of the TPS61165-Q1 device demands a high-speed rectification for optimum
efficiency. Ensure that the diode’s average and peak current rating exceeds the average output current and peak
inductor current. In addition, the reverse breakdown voltage of the diode must exceed the open LED protection
voltage. The ONSemi MBR0540 and the ZETEX ZHCS400 are recommended for the TPS61165-Q1 device.
8.2.2.4 Compensation Capacitor Selection
The compensation capacitor C3 (see Functional Block Diagram), connected from COMP pin to GND, is used to
stabilize the feedback loop of the TPS61165-Q1 device. A 220-nF ceramic capacitor is suitable for most
applications.
8.2.2.5 Input and Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirements for the output ripple and loop stability. This
ripple voltage is related to the capacitance of the capacitor and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Assuming
a capacitor with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated using
Equation 6.
(Vout - Vin ) Iout
Cout =
Vout ´ Fs ´ Vripple
where
•
Vripple = peak-to-peak output ripple
(6)
The additional output ripple component caused by ESR is calculated using Equation 7
Vripple _ ESR = Iout ´ RESR
(7)
Due to its low ESR, Vripple_ESR can be neglected for ceramic capacitors, but must be considered if tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors are used.
Care must be taken when evaluating a ceramic capacitors derating under DC bias, aging and AC signal. For
example, larger form factor capacitors (in 1206 size) have a self resonant frequencies in the range of the
switching frequency. So the effective capacitance is significantly lower. The DC bias can also significantly reduce
capacitance. Ceramic capacitors can loss as much as 50% of its capacitance at its rated voltage. Therefore,
leave the margin on the voltage rating to ensure adequate capacitance at the required output voltage.
The capacitor in the range of 1 μF to 4.7 μF is recommended for input side. The output requires a capacitor in
the range of 1 μF to 10 μF. The output capacitor affects the loop stability of the boost regulator. If the output
capacitor is below the range, the boost regulator can potentially become unstable.
The popular vendors for high value ceramic capacitors are:

8.3 Do's and Don'ts
There is a known issue with the TPS61165-Q1 device when using the EasyScale interface to increase the
feedback voltage. When VFB is increased from 0 mV to any value more than 0 mV, some ICs do not properly
soft-start during this transition and the voltage on their SW pin overshoots. If the overshoot exceeds the absolute
maximum voltage rating on the SW pin, the IC is damaged.
With VFB set below 10 mV through EasyScale, the parasitic offsets on the input pins of the internal
transconductance amplifier determine the value of output of the amplifier. IC process variations are causing the
offset to be larger and in the opposite polarity than expected. If the amplifier’s output is already high before a
transition from VFB = 0 mV to any other voltage, then the modulator turns on full, bypassing soft start, and
causes the SW pin and output voltage to overshoot.
To avoid this issue do not use EasyScale to change the feedback voltage from 0 mV, effectively disabling the
device, to any other voltage. One alternative is to start with VFB = 10 mV and go to a higher voltage. Another
alternative is to disable the IC by taking the CTRL pin low for 2.5 ms and then re-enter EasyScale to force a soft
start from VFB = 0 mV to the default 200 mV.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS61165-Q1 device requires a single supply input voltage. This voltage can range from 3 V to 18 V and be
able to supply enough current for a given application.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
As for all switching power supplies, especially those high frequency and high current ones, layout is an important
design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator could suffer from instability as well as noise problems.
To reduce switching losses, the SW pin rise and fall times are made as short as possible. To prevent radiation of
high frequency resonance problems, proper layout of the high frequency switching path is essential. Minimize the
length and area of all traces connected to the SW pin and always use a ground plane under the switching
regulator to minimize inter-plane coupling. The loop including the PWM switch, Schottky diode, and output
capacitor, contains high current rising and falling in nanosecond and should be kept as short as possible. The
input capacitor needs not only to be close to the VIN pin, but also to the GND pin to reduce the IC supply ripple.

10.3 Thermal Considerations
The maximum IC junction temperature should be restricted to 125°C under normal operating conditions. This
restriction limits the power dissipation of the TPS61165-Q1 device. Calculate the maximum allowable dissipation,
PD(max), and keep the actual dissipation less than or equal to PD(max). The maximum-power-dissipation limit is
determined using Equation 8:
125°C - TA
PD(max) =
