3 Description
The TPS61187 device provides a highly integrated
white-light-emitting-diode (WLED) driver solution for
notebook LCD backlight. This device has a built-in
high efficiency boost regulator with integrated 2-A,
40-V power MOSFET. The six current sink regulators
provide high precision current regulation and
matching. In total, the device can support up to 60
WLEDs. In addition, the boost output automatically
adjusts its voltage to the WLED forward voltage to
optimize efficiency.
The TPS61187 supports the automatic phase-shiftdimming method and direct-PWM-dimming method.
During phase-shift-PWM dimming, the WLED current
is turned on and turned off at the duty cycle
controlled by the input PWM signal, and each
channel is shifted according to the frequency
determined by an integrated pulse-width-modulation
(PWM) signal. The frequency of this signal is resistor
programmable, while the duty cycle is controlled
directly from an external PWM signal input to the
PWM pin. During direct PWM dimming, the WLED
current is turned on and/or turned off synchronized
with the input PWM signal.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS61187 is a high-efficiency, high-output-voltage WLED driver for notebook panel backlighting
applications. The advantages of WLEDs compared to cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlights are
higher power efficiency and lower profile design. Due to the large number of WLEDs required to provide
backlighting for medium to large display panels, the LEDs must be arranged in parallel strings of several LEDs in
series. Therefore, the backlight driver for battery powered systems is almost always 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 must be enough white LEDs in series to ensure the output voltage stays
above the input voltage range.
The TPS61187 device has integrated all of the key function blocks to power and control up to 60 WLEDs. The
device includes a 40-V, 2-A boost regulator, six 30-mA current sink regulators, and a protection circuit for
overcurrent, overvoltage, open LED, short LED, and output short-circuit failures.
The TPS61187 device integrates auto phase shifted PWM dimming methods with the PWM interface to reduce
the output ripple voltage and audible noise. An optional direct PWM mode is user selectable through the MODE
selection function.

SLVSA85E – JUNE 2010 – REVISED DECEMBER 2016
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Supply Voltage
The TPS61187 device has a built-in linear regulator to supply the device analog and logic circuit. The VDDIO pin,
output of the regulator, is connected to a 1-µF bypass capacitor for the regulator to be controlled in a stable loop.
VDDIO does not have high current sourcing capability for external use but it can be tied to the EN pin for start
up.
7.3.2 Boost Regulator and Programmable Switch Frequency (FSCLT)
The fixed-frequency PWM boost converter uses current-mode control and has integrated loop compensation.
The internal compensation ensures stable output over the full input and output voltage ranges assuming the
recommended inductance and output capacitance values shown in Typical Application – Phase Shift PWM Mode
are used. The output voltage of the boost regulator is automatically set by the device to minimize voltage drop
across the IFB pins. The device regulates the lowest IFB pin to 350 mV and consistently adjusts the boost output
voltage to account for any changes in LED forward voltages. If the input voltage is higher than the sum of the
WLED forward voltage drops (for example, at low duty cycles), the boost converter is not able to regulate the
output due to its minimum duty cycle limitation. In this case, increase the number of WLEDs in series or include
series ballast resistors in order to provide enough headroom for the converter to boost the output voltage.
Because the TPS61187 integrates a 2-A, 40-V power MOSFET, the boost converter can provide up to a 38-V
output voltage.
The TPS61187 switching frequency can be programmed between 300 kHz to 1 MHz by the resistor value on the
FSLCT pin according to Equation 1:
FSW =
5 ´ 1011
RFSLCT
where
•
RFSLCT = FSCLT pin resistor
(1)
See Figure 3 for boost converter switching frequency adjustment resistor RFSLCT selection.
The adjustable switching frequency feature provides the user with the flexibility of choosing a faster switching
frequency, as well as an inductor with smaller inductance and footprint or slower switching frequency, and
therefore, potentially higher efficiency due to lower switching losses. Use Equation 1 or refer to Table 1 to select
the correct value:

7.3.3 LED Current Sinks
The six current sink regulators embedded in the TPS61187 can be collectively configured to provide up to a
maximum of 30 mA each. These six specialized current sinks are accurate to within ±2% maximum for currents
at 20 mA, with a string-to-string difference of ±1.5% typical.
The IFB current must be programmed to the highest WLED current expected using the ISETH pin resistor and

7.3.4 Enable and Start-up
The internal regulator which provides VDDIO wakes up as soon as VIN is applied even when EN is low. This
allows the device to start when EN is tied to the VDDIO pin. VDDIO does not come to full regulation until EN is
high. The TPS61187 checks the status of all current feedback channels and shuts down any unused feedback
channels. It is recommended to short the unused channels to ground for faster start-up.
After the device is enabled, if the PWM pin is left floating, the output voltage of the TPS61187 regulates to the
minimum output voltage. Once the device detects a voltage on the PWM pin, the TPS61187 begins to regulate
the IFB pin current, as pre-set per the ISETH pin resistor, according to the duty cycle of the signal on the PWM
pin. The boost converter output voltage rises to the appropriate level to accommodate the sum of the white LED
string with the highest forward voltage drops plus the headroom of the current sink at that current.
Pulling the EN pin low shuts down the device, resulting in the device consuming less than 11 µA in shutdown
mode.
7.3.5 IFB Pin Unused
The TPS61187 has open/short string detection. For an unused IFB string, simply short it to ground or leave it
open. TI recommend shorting unused IFB pins to ground for faster start-up. After EN is pulled high, the
TPS61187 outputs about 40–µA current to each current channel for 4 ms and measures the voltage on each
channel. If the voltage on any channel is less than 600 mV, the channel is turned off and removed from the boost
control loop as unused channel.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Brightness Dimming Control
The TPS61187 has auto-phase-shifted PWM dimming control with the PWM control interface.
The internal decoder block detects duty information from the input PWM signal, saves it in an eight bit register
and delivers it to the output PWM dimming control circuit. The output PWM dimming control circuit turns on/off
six output current sinks at the PWM frequency set by RFPWM and the duty cycle from the decoder block.
The TPS61187 also has direct PWM dimming control with the PWM control interface. In direct PWM mode, each
current sink turns on/off at the same frequency and duty cycle as the input PWM signal. See the Mode
Selection – Phase-Shift PWM Or Direct PWM Dimming for dimming mode selection.
When in phase-shifted PWM mode, TI recommends insertion of a series resistor of 10 kΩ to 20 kΩ value close to
the PWMIN pin. This resistor together with an internal capacitor forms a low pass R-C filter with 30-ns to 60-ns
time constant. This prevents possible high frequency noises being coupled into the input PWM signal and
causing interference to the internal duty cycle decoding circuit. However, it is not necessary for direct PWM mode
because the duty cycle decoding circuit is disabled during the direct PWM mode.
7.4.2 Adjustable PWM Dimming Frequency and Mode Selection (R_FPWM/MODE)
The TPS61187 can operate in auto phase shift mode or direct PWM mode. Tying the RFPWM/MODE pin to
VDDIO forces the device to operate in direct PWM mode. A resistor between the RFPWM/MODE pin and ground
sets the device into auto-phase-shift mode and the value of the resistor determines the PWM dimming frequency.
Use Equation 3 or refer to Table 2 to select the correct value:

7.4.3 Mode Selection – Phase-Shift PWM Or Direct PWM Dimming
The phase-shift PWM dimming method or direct PWM dimming method can be selected through the RFPWM
pin. By attaching an external resistor to the RFPWM pin, the default phase shift PWM mode can be selected. To
select direct PWM mode, the RFPWM pin needs to be tied to the VDDIO pin. The RFPWM/MODE pin can be
noise sensitive when R2 has high impedance. In this case, careful layout or a parallel bypassing capacitor
improves noise sensitivity but the value of the parallel capacitor may not exceed 33 pF for oscillator stability.

7.4.3.1 Phase-Shift PWM Dimming
In phase-shift PWM mode, all current feedback channels are turned on and off at FDIM frequency with a constant
delay. However, the number of used channels and PWM dimming frequency determine the delay time between
two neighboring channels per Equation 4.

Figure 15 provides the detailed timing diagram of the phase-shift PWM dimming mode.
In phase-shift PWM mode, the internal decoder converts the duty-cycle information from the applied PWM signal
at the PWM pin into an 8-bit digital signal and stores it into a register. The integrated dimming control circuit
reconstructs the PWM duty cycle per the register value and sends it to each of the current sinks. In order to
avoid any flickering while the duty cycle information is reconstructed from the register, one LSB (1/256) of duty
cycle hysteresis is included which results in 1/256 resolution when incrementing the applied signal's duty cycle
but 2/256 resolution when decrementing the duty cycle.

7.4.4 Overvoltage Clamp and Voltage Feedback (OVC / FB)
The correct divider ratio is important for optimum operation of the TPS61187. Use the following guidelines to
choose the divider value. It can be noise sensitive if Rupper and Rdown have high impedance. Careful layout is
required. Also, choose lower resistance values for Rupper and Rdown when power dissipation allows.
1. Determine the maximum output voltage, VO, for the system according to the number of series WLEDs.
2. Select an Rupper resistor value (1 MΩ for a typical application; a lower value such as 100 kΩ for a noisy
environment).

7.4.5 Current-Sink Open Protection
For the TPS61187, if one of the WLED strings is open, the device automatically detects and disables that string.
The device detects the open WLED string by sensing no current in the corresponding IFB pin. As a result, the
device deactivates the open IFB pin and removes it from the voltage feedback loop. Subsequently, the output
voltage drops and is regulated to the minimum voltage required for the connected WLED strings. The IFB current
of the connected WLED strings remains in regulation.
If any IFB pin voltage exceeds the IFB overvoltage threshold (13.5 V typical), the device turns off the
corresponding current sink and removes this IFB pin from the 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 large voltage differences among WLED strings.
The device only shuts down if it detects that all of the WLED strings are open. If an open string is reconnected
again, a power-on reset (POR) or EN pin toggling is required to reactivate a previously deactivated string.
7.4.6 Overcurrent and Short-Circuit Protection
The TPS61187 has a pulse-by-pulse over-current limit of 2 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 during on overload conditions. When there is
a sustained overcurrent condition, the device turns off and requires a POR or EN pin toggling to restart. Under
severe overload and/or short-circuit conditions, the boost output voltage can be pulled below the required
regulated voltage to keep all of the white LEDs operating. Under thses conditions, the current flows directly from
input to output through the inductor and schottky diode. To protect the TPS61187, the device shuts down
immediately. The device restarts after input POR or EN pin toggling.
7.4.7 Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature of the TPS61187 is over 150°C, the thermal protection circuit is triggered and
shuts down the device immediately. Only a POR or EN pin toggling clears the protection and restarts the device.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Inductor Selection
Because selection of the inductor affects power supply steady state operation, 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 (DCR), and
saturation current. The TPS61187 is designed to work with inductor values between 10 µH and 47 µH. A 10-µH
inductor is typically available in a smaller or lower profile package, while a 47-µH inductor may produce higher
efficiency due to a slower switching frequency and/or lower inductor ripple. If the boost output current is limited
by the over-current protection of the device, using a 10-µH inductor and the highest switching frequency
maximizes controller output current capability.
Internal loop compensation for PWM control is optimized for the external component values, including typical
tolerances, recommended in Table 4. 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. In a boost regulator, the inductor dc current can be
calculated with Equation 6.
Vout ´ Iout
IDC =
Vin ´ h
where
•
•
•
•
VOUT = boost output voltage
IOUT = boost output current
VIN = boost input voltage
η = power conversion efficiency, use 90% for TPS61187 applications

The inductor current peak-to-peak ripple can be calculated with Equation 7.

Therefore, the peak current seen by the inductor is calculated with Equation 8.

Select an inductor with a saturation current over the calculated peak current. To calculate the worst-case inductor
peak current, use the minimum input voltage, maximum output voltage, and maximum load current.

Regulator efficiency is dependent on the resistance of its high current path and switching losses associated with
the PWM switch and power diode. Although the TPS61187 device has optimized the internal switch resistances,
the overall efficiency is affected by the inductor DCR. Lower DCR improves efficiency. However, there is a trade
off between DCR and inductor footprint; furthermore, shielded inductors typically have higher DCR than
unshielded ones. Table 4 lists the recommended inductors.

8.2.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirement for 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 with Equation 9:
(Vout - Vin ) ´ Iout
Cout =
Vout ´ FS ´ Vripple
where
•
Vripple = peak-to-peak output ripple
(9)
The additional part of the ripple caused by ESR is calculated using: Vripple_ESR = IOUT × RESR
Due to its low ESR, Vripple_ESR can be neglected for ceramic capacitors, but must be considered if tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors are used. The controller output voltage also ripples due to the load transient that occurs
during PWM dimming. The TPS61187 adopts a patented technology to limit this type of output ripple even with
the minimum recommended output capacitance. In a typical application, the output ripple is less than 250 mV
during PWM dimming with a 4.7-µF output capacitor. However, the output ripple decreases with higher output
capacitances.
8.2.2.3 Isolation FET Selection
The TPS61187 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. 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 the 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 PMOS 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.

10 Layout
10.1 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, C1 in Typical
Application – Phase Shift PWM Mode, 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 input capacitor, C1 in Typical Application – Phase Shift PWM
Mode, must also be placed close to the inductor. C2 is the filter and noise decoupling capacitor for the internal
linear regulator powering the internal digital circuits; place C2 as close as possible between the VDDIO and
AGND pins to prevent any noise insertion to the digital circuits. The SW pin carries high current with fast rising
and falling edges. Therefore, the connection from the pin to the inductor and Schottky diode must be kept as
short and wide as possible. It is also beneficial to have the ground of the output capacitor C3 close to the PGND
pin because there is a large ground return current flowing between them. When laying out signal grounds, TI
recommends using short traces separated from power ground traces and connecting them together at a single
point, for example on the thermal pad. The thermal pad must be soldered on to the PCB and connected to the
GND pin of the device. An additional thermal via can significantly improve power dissipation of the device.

appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
