Multiple Dimming Methods
– 10,000:1 Shunt PWM Dimming Range
– 1000:1 PWM Dimming Range
– 200:1 Analog Dimming Range
Simple Constant Off-time Control
– No Loop Compensation
– Fast Transient Response
Thermally Enhanced HVSSOP Package
Integrated Thermal Protection
The regulator operates with constant off-time, peak
current control. The operation is simple: after an offtime based on the output voltage, an on-time begins.
The on-time ends once the inductor peak current
threshold is reached. The TPS92515AHV-Q1 device
can be configured to maintain a constant peak-topeak ripple during the ON and OFF periods of a
shunt FET dimming cycle. This cycle ideal for
maintaining a linear response across the entire shuntFET dimming range.
The low-offset, high-side comparator helps to create
steady-state accuracy. LED current can be modulated
using either analog dimming or PWM dimming, or
both simultaneously. Other features include UVLO,
wide input voltage operation, inherent LED Open
operation and wide operating temperature range with
thermal shut-down.
The TPS92515AHV-Q1 device offers high-voltage
options with an input range up to 65 V in a thermally
enhanced, 10-pin HVSSOP package.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS92515AHV-Q1 is an internal N-channel MOSFET (monolithic NFET) hysteric control, buck regulator.
Hysteretic operation allows a high control bandwidth and is ideal for shunt FET and LED matrix applications
(series LED switched network). The high-side differential current sense with low adjustable threshold voltage via
a 10:1 divider, provides an excellent method for regulating output current while maintaining high system
efficiency. The device uses a controlled OFF-time (COFT) architecture to allow the converter to operate in both
continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with no external control loop
compensation, and provides an inherent cycle-by-cycle current limit.
The adjustable current sense threshold provides the capability for analog dimming the LED current over the full
range and the PWM dimming input allows for high-frequency PWM dimming control requiring no external
components. Configuration options allow for easy implementation of external shunt FET dimming. See also the
OFF-Timer, Shunt FET Dimming or Shunted Output Condition section.
The device does not internally limit the maximum attainable average LED current. It does have a thermal limit
based on the maximum junction temperature. The maximum junction temperature is a function of the system
operating points (efficiency, ambient temperature, thermal management), component choices, and switching
frequency. This functionality allows the device to provide constant currents up to 1 A in a wide variety of
applications and up to 2 A in a smaller sub-set of applications. This simple regulator contains all the features
necessary to implement a high-efficiency, versatile, high-performance LED driver.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 General Operation
The TPS92515AHV-Q1 operates using a peak-current, constant OFF-time as described in Figure 11. Two states
dictate the high-side FET control. The switch remains on until the programmed peak current is reached. The
device controls the peak current by monitoring the voltage across the sense resistor. When the voltage drop is
higher than the programmed threshold, the peak current is reached, and the switch is turned OFF, which begins
the OFF-time period. A capacitor on the COFF pin is then charged through a resistor connected to the output.
When the COFF pin voltage reaches the 1-V (typical) threshold, the OFF-time ends. The COFF pin capacitor
resets and the main switch turns ON, and the next cycle begins.

Figure 11. Hysteretic Operation
Although commonly referred to as constant OFF-time, it is the output votage that determines the OFF-time. This
connection ensures constant peak-to-peak ripple. To maintain a constant ripple over various input and output
voltages, the converter OFF-time becomes shorter or longer resulting in a change in frequency. If the input
voltage and output voltage are relatively constant, the frequency also remains constant. If either the input voltage
or the output voltage changes, the frequency changes. For a fixed input voltage, the device operates at the
maximum frequency at 50% duty cycle and the frequency reduces as the duty cycle becomes shorter or longer.
A graphical representation is shown in Figure 12. For a fixed output voltage (VLED), the frequency is always the
maximum at the highest input voltage as shown in Figure 13.

Because the OFF-time is proportional to the output voltage, it is possible to illustrate how VLED can be removed
from the output current equation. When VLED >> VOFT , the output ripple can be defined as shown in Equation 1.

When VLED >≈ 10 V, use the ILED calculation Equation 4. The Detailed Design Procedure section describes a
design example that uses the more detailed equation. A VLED > 10 V ensures a linear charging ramp below 1 V.
