•
•
•
The devices support pulse width modulation (PWM)
brightness dimming. During dimming, the WLED
current is turned on/off at the duty cycle and
frequency, determined by the PWM signal input to the
DCRTL pin. The TPS61181A device is designed to
minimize the output AC ripple across a wide dimming
duty cycle and frequency range and also reduces the
audible noise from the output ceramic capacitors.
The TPS61181A device provides a driver output for
an external PFET connected between the input and
inductor. During short circuit or overcurrent
conditions, the device turns off the external PFET and
disconnects the battery from the WLEDs. The PFET
is also turned off during device shutdown (thereby
giving true shutdown) to prevent any leakage current
from the battery. The device integrates overvoltage
protection, soft-start and thermal shutdown and has a
built-in linear regulator for the device supply.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
Recently, WLEDs have gained popularity as an alternative to CCFL for backlighting media-size LCD displays.
The advantages of WLEDs are power efficiency and low profile design. Due to the large number of WLEDs, they
are often arranged in series and parallel, and powered by a boost regulator with multiple current sink regulators.
Having more WLEDs in series reduces the number of parallel strings and therefore improves overall current
matching. However, the efficiency of the boost regulator declines due to the need for high output voltage. Also,
there have to be enough WLEDs in series to ensure the output voltage stays above the input voltage range.
Otherwise, a buck-boost (for example, SEPIC) power converter has to be adopted which could be more
expensive and complicated.
The TPS61181A device has integrated all the key function blocks to power and control up to 60 WLEDs. The
devices include a 40-V/1.5-A boost regulator, six 30-mA current sink regulators and protection circuit for
overcurrent, overvoltage, and short-circuit failures. The key advantages of the devices are small solution size,
low output AC ripple during PWM dimming control, and the capability to isolate the input and output during fault
conditions.

SLVSAN6B – FEBRUARY 2011 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2016

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Supply Voltage
The TPS61181A has built-in LDO linear regulator to supply the device analog and logic circuits. The LDO is
powered up when the EN pin is high. The output of the LDO is connected to the Cin pin. A 0.1-μF bypass
capacitor is required for stable operation of the LDO. Do not connect the Cin pin to the EN pin because this
prevents the device from starting up. In addition, avoid connecting the Cin pin to any other circuit as this could
introduce noise into the device supply voltage.
The VBAT connects to the input of the internal LDO, and powers the device. The voltage on the VBAT pin is also
the reference for the pull-up circuit of the Fault pin. In addition, it serves as the input signal to the short-circuit
protection. There is an undervoltage lockout on the VBAT pin which disables the device when its voltage reduces
to 4.2 V (typical). The device restarts when the VBAT pin voltage recovers by 220 mV.
8.3.2 Boost Regulator
The boost regulator is controlled by current mode PWM, and loop compensation is integrated inside the device.
The internal compensation ensures stable output over the full input and output voltage range. The TPS61181A
switches at 1 MHz which optimize boost converter efficiency and voltage ripple with a small form factor inductor
and output capacitor.
The output voltage of the boost regulator is automatically set by the device to minimize the voltage drop across
the IFB pins. The device automatically regulates the lowest IFB pin to 400 mV, and consistently adjusts the boost
output voltage to account for any changes of the LED forward voltages.
When the output voltage is too close to the input, the boost regulator may not be able to regulate the output due
to the limitation of minimum duty cycle. In this case, increase the number of WLED in series or include series
ballast resistors in order to provide enough headroom for the boost operation.
The TPS61181A boost regulator cannot regulate its output to voltages below 15 V.
8.3.3 Enable and Start-Up
A logic high signal on the EN pin turns on the device. For the TPS61181A, taking EN high turns on the internal
LDO linear regulator which provides supply to the device current. Then, an internal resistor, Rstart (start up
charging resistor) is connected between the VBAT pin and VO pin to charge the output capacitor toward the VBAT
pin voltage. The Fault pin outputs high during this time, and thus the external isolation PFET is turned off. Once
the VO pin voltage is within 2 V (isolation FET start up threshold) of the VBAT pin voltage, Rstart is open, and the
Fault pin pulls down the gate of the PFET and connects the VBAT voltage to the boost regulator. This operation is
to prevent the in-rush current due to charging the output capacitor.
Once the isolation FET is turned on, the device starts PWM switching to raise the output voltage above VBAT.
Soft-start is implemented by gradually ramping up the reference voltage of the error amplifier to prevent voltage
overshoot and in-rush current. See the start-up waveform of a typical example, Figure 8.
Pulling the EN pin low immediately shuts down the device, resulting in the device consuming less than 50 μA in
the shutdown mode.
8.3.4 Overcurrent, Overvoltage, and Short-Circuit Protection
The TPS61181A has pulse-by-pulse over-current limit of 1.5 A (minimum). The PWM switch turns off when the
inductor current reaches this current threshold. The PWM switch remains off until the beginning of the next
switching cycle. This protects the device and external components under overload conditions. When there is
sustained over-current condition for more than 16 ms ( under 100% dimming duty cycle), the device turns off and
requires POR or the EN pin toggling to restart.
Under severe overload and/or short circuit conditions, the VO pin can be pulled below the input (VBAT pin). Under
this condition, the current can flow directly from VBAT to the WLED through the inductor and schottky diode.
Turning off the PWM switch alone does not limit current anymore. In this case, the TPS61181A detects the
output voltage is 1.7 V (Vsc,short circuit detection threshold) below the input voltage, turns off the isolation FET,
and shuts down the device. The device restarts after input power-on reset (VBAT POR) or EN pin logic toggling.

Feature Description (continued)
During device start up, if there is short-circuit condition on the boost converter output, the output capacitor will
not be charged to within 2 V of VBAT through Rstart. After 32 ms (Vsc_dlyshort circuit detection delay during startup), the TPS61181A shuts down and does not restart until there is VBAT POR or EN pin toggling. The isolation
FET is never turned on under the condition.
If one of the WLED strings is open, the boost output rises to overvoltage threshold (39V typical). The
TPS61181A detects the open WLED string by sensing no current in the corresponding IFB pin. As a result, the
device removes the open IFB pin from the voltage feedback loop. Subsequently, the output voltage drops down
and is regulated to a voltage for the connected WLED strings. The IFB current of the connected WLED strings
keep in regulation during the whole transition. The device only shuts down if it detects that all of the WLED
strings are open.
If the overvoltage threshold is reached, but the current sensed on the IFB pin is below the regulation target, the
device regulates the boost output at the overvoltage threshold. This operation could occur when the WLED is
turned on under cold temperature, and the forward voltages of the WLEDs exceed the overvoltage threshold.
Maintaining the WLED current allows the WLED to warm up and their forward voltages to drop below the overvoltage threshold.
If any IFB pin voltage exceeds IFB overvoltage threshold (17 V typical), the device turns off the corresponding
current sink and removes this IFB pin from VO regulation loop. The current regulation of the remaining IFB pins is
not affected. This condition often occurs when there are several shorted WLEDs in one string. WLED mismatch
typically does not create such large voltage difference among WLED strings.
8.3.5 IFB Pin Unused
If the application requires less than 6 WLED strings, one can easily disable unused IFB pins. The TPS61181A
simply requires leaving the unused IFB pin open or shorting it to ground. If the IFB pin is open, the boost output
voltage ramps up to VO overvoltage threshold during start up. The device then detects the zero current string,
and removes it from the feedback loop. If the IFB pin is shorted to ground, the device detects the short
immediately after device enable, and the boost output voltage does not go up to VO overvoltage threshold.
Instead, it ramps to the regulation voltage after soft start.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Current Program and PWM Dimming
The six current sink regulators can each provide a maximum of 30 mA. The IFB current must be programmed to
maximum WLED current using the ISET pin resistor and Equation 1.
V
I FB + KISET ISET
R ISET
where
•
•
•
KISET = Current multiple (1000 typical)
VISET = ISET pin voltage (1.229 V typical)
RISET = ISET pin resistor
(1)
The TPS61181A has six built-in precise current sink regulators. The current matching among the current sinks at
20-mA current through is below 2.5%. This means the differential value between the maximum and minimum
current of the six current sinks divided by the average current of the six is less than 2.5%.
The WLED brightness is controlled by the PWM signal on the DCTRL pin. The frequency and duty cycle of the
DCTRL signal is replicated on the IFB pin current. Keep the dimming frequency in the range of 100 Hz to 1 kHz
to avoid screen flickering and maintain dimming linearity. Screen flickering may occur if the dimming frequency is
below the range. The minimum achievable duty cycle increases with the dimming frequency. For example, while
a 0.1% dimming duty cycle, giving a 1000:1 dimming range, is achievable at 100 Hz dimming frequency, only 1%
duty cycle, giving a 100:1 dimming range, is achievable with a 1-KHz dimming frequency, and 5% dimming duty
cycle is achievable with 5-KHz dimming frequency. The device could work at high dimming frequency like 20
KHz, but then only 15% duty cycle could be achievable. The TPS61181A is designed to minimize the AC ripple
on the output capacitor during PWM dimming. Careful passive component selection is also critical to minimize
AC ripple on the output capacitor. See Application and Implementation for more information.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Inductor Selection
Because the selection of the inductor affects the steady-state operation of a power supply, transient behavior and
loop stability, the inductor is the most important component in switching power regulator design. There are three
specifications most important to the performance of the inductor: inductor value, DC resistance, and saturation
current. The TPS61181A device is designed to work with inductor values between 4.7 μH and 10 μH. A 4.7-μH
inductor may be available in a smaller or lower profile package, while 10 μH may produce higher efficiency due
to lower inductor ripple. If the boost output current is limited by the overcurrent protection of the device, using a
10-μH inductor can offer higher output current.
The internal loop compensation for the PWM control is optimized for the recommended component values,
including typical tolerances. 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 zero current value
depending on how the inductor vendor defines saturation
In a boost regulator, the inductor DC current can be calculated as:
V
IO
I dc + O
V in h
where
•
•
•
•
VO = boost output voltage
Io = boost output current
Vin = boost input voltage
η = power conversion efficiency, use 90% for TPS61181A applications

where

L = inductor value
Fs= switching frequency
Vbat= boost input voltage
(3)
Therefore, the peak current seen by the inductor is
I pp
I p + I dc )
2
(4)
Select the inductor with saturation current at least 25% higher than the calculated peak current. To calculate the
worse case inductor peak current, use minimum input voltage, maximum output voltage and maximum load
current.
Regulator efficiency is dependent on the resistance of its high current path, switching losses associated with the
PWM switch and power diode. Although the TPS61181A device have optimized the internal switch resistance,
the overall efficiency still relies on the DC resistance (DCR) of the inductor; lower DCR improves efficiency.
However, there is a trade off between DCR and inductor footprint. Furthermore, shielded inductors typically have
a higher DCR than unshielded ones. Table 3 lists recommended inductor models.

9.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
During PWM brightness dimming, the load transient causes voltage ripple on the output capacitor. Since the
PWM dimming frequency is in the audible frequency range, the ripple can produce audible noises on the output
ceramic capacitor. There are two ways to reduce or eliminate this audible noise. The first option is to select PWM
dimming frequency outside the audible range. This means the dimming frequency needs be to lower than 200 Hz
or higher than 30 KHz. The potential issue with a very low dimming frequency is that WLED on/off can become
visible and thus cause a flickering effect on the display. On the other hand, high dimming frequency can
compromise the dimming range since the LED current accuracy and current match are difficult to maintain at low
dimming duty cycle. The second option is to reduce the amount of the output ripple, and therefore minimize the
audible noise.
The TPS61181A adopts a patented technology to limit output ripple even with small output capacitance. In a
typical application, the output ripple is less than 200 mV during PWM dimming with a 4.7-μF output capacitor,
and the audible noise is not noticeable. The devices are designed to be stable with output capacitor down to 1
μF. However, the output ripple will increase with lower output capacitor.
Care must be taken when evaluating the derating of a ceramic capacitor due to applied dc voltage, aging and
over frequency. For example, larger form factor capacitors (in 1206 size) have their self resonant frequencies in
the switching frequency range of the TPS61181A. So the effective capacitance is significantly lower. Therefore, it
may be necessary to use small capacitors in parallel instead of one large capacitor.
9.2.2.3 Audible Noise Reduction
Ceramic capacitors can produce audible noise if the frequency of its AC voltage ripple is in the audible frequency
range. In TPS61181A applications, both input and output capacitors are subject to AC voltage ripple during PWM
brightness dimming. The device integrates a patented technology to minimize the ripple voltage, and thus audible
noises.
To further reduce the audible noise, one effective way is to use two or three small size capacitors in parallel
instead of one large capacitor. The application circuit in Figure 16 uses two 2.2-μF/25-V ceramic capacitors at
the input and two 1-μF/50-V ceramic capacitors at the output. All of the capacitors are in 0805 package. Although
the output ripple during PWM dimming is higher than with one 4.7 μF in a 1206 package, the overall audible
noise is lower.
In addition, connecting a 10-nF/50V ceramic capacitor between the VO pin and IFB1 pin can further reduce the
output AC ripple during the PWM dimming. Since this capacitor is subject to large AC ripple, choose a small
package such as 0402 to prevent it from producing noise.
9.2.2.4 Isolation MOSFET Selection
The TPS61181A provides a gate driver to an external P-channel MOSFET which can be turned off during device
shutdown or fault condition. This MOSFET can provide a true shutdown function, and also protect the battery
from output short circuit conditions. The source of the PMOS must be connected to the input, and a pullup
resistor is required between the source and gate of the FET to keep the FET off during device shutdown. To turn
on the isolation FET, the Fault pin is pulled low, and clamped at 8 V below the VBAT pin voltage.

SLVSAN6B – FEBRUARY 2011 – REVISED SEPTEMBER 2016
During device shutdown or fault condition, the isolation FET is turned off, and the input voltage is applied on the
isolation MOSFET. During a short circuit condition, the catch diode (D2 in typical application circuit) is forward
biased when the isolation FET is turned off. The drain of the isolation FET swings below ground. The voltage
across the isolation FET can be momentarily greater than the input voltage. Therefore, select a 30-V MOSFET
for a 24-V maximum input. The on resistance of the FET has a large impact on power conversion efficiency since
the FET carries the input voltage. Select a MOSFET with Rds(on) less than 100 mΩ to limit the power losses.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
As for all switching power supplies, especially those providing high current and using high switching frequencies,
layout is an important design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show instability as well as
EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for high current paths. The input capacitor, C3 in the typical
application circuit, needs not only to be close to the VBAT pin, but also to the GND pin in order to reduce the input
ripple detected by the device. The input capacitor, C1 in Figure 9 , must be placed close to the inductor. The SW
pin carries high current with fast rising and falling edges. Therefore, keep the connection between the pin to the
inductor and Schottky as short and wide as possible. It is also beneficial to have the ground of the output
capacitor C2 close to the PGND pin because there is large ground return current flowing between them. When
laying out signal ground, TI recommends using short traces separated from power ground traces, connecting
these short traces together at a single point, for example on the thermal pad.
Thermal pad must be soldered on to the PCB and connected to the GND pin of the TPS61181A device.
Additional thermal via can significantly improve power dissipation of the device.
