7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS92612 device is a single-channel linear LED driver providing a simple current source with protection.
The output current 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 output through OUT pin. Brightness can
be controlled by PWM pin.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Device Bias
7.3.1.1 Power-On Reset (POR)
The TPS92612 device has an internal power-on-reset (POR) function. When power is applied to the SUPPLY
pin, the internal POR holds the device in the reset condition until V(SUPPLY) reaches V(POR_rising).
7.3.2 Constant-Current Driver
The TPS92612 device is a high-side constant-current driver. 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.

SLVSFG3 – APRIL 2020
Feature Description (continued)
When the SUPPLY-to-OUT voltage difference is below the required dropout voltage, V(DROPOUT), at a given
output current, the TPS92612 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 TPS92612 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. Besides output current enable and disable
function, the PWM input of TPS92612 also supports adjustment of the average current for LED brightness
control. TI recommends a 200 Hz – 2 kHz PWM signal for brightness control, which is out of visible frequency
range of human eyes.
7.3.4 Protection
7.3.4.1 Short-to-GND Protection
The TPS92612 device has OUT short-to-GND protection. The device monitors the V(OUT) voltage when the
output current is enabled 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.
During the deglitching time period, if V(OUT) rises above V(SG_th_rising), the timer is reset.
Once the device has detected a short-to-GND fault, the device turns off the output channel and retries
automatically by sourcing a small current I(retry) from IN to OUT to pull up the loads continuously, regardless of
the state of the PWM input. Once auto retry detects output voltage rising above V(SG_th_rising), the device clears
the short-to-GND fault and resumes normal operation.
7.3.4.2 Over Temperature Protection
The TPS92612 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.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Undervoltage Lockout, V(SUPPLY)< V(POR_rising)
When the TPS92612 device is in undervoltage lockout mode, the device disables all functions until the supply
rises above the V(POR_rising) threshold.
7.4.2 Normal State, V(SUPPLY) ≥ 4.5 V
The device regulates output current in normal state. With enough voltage drop across SUPPLY and OUT, the
device is able to drive the output in constant-current mode.

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
The TPS92612 device is a constant-current regulator which can be used as a LED driver, general constantcurrent source or current limiter in industrial applications.
Thermal performance is one of the design challenges for linear devices. To increase current-driving capability,
the device supports heat sharing using an external parallel resistor, as shown in Figure 15. This technique
provides the low-cost solution of using external resistors to minimize thermal accumulation on the device itself,
and still keeps high accuracy of the total current output.
8.2 Typical Application
8.2.1 Single LED Driver
The TPS92612 offers a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution for LED driver applications. PWM input can be
adopted for LED brightness adjust and LED ON/OFF control. The device also supports off-board LED connection
with long cables.

Typical Application (continued)
Normally the thermal analysis is necessary for linear LED-driver applications to ensure that the operation junction
temperature of TPS92612 is well managed. The total power consumption on the TPS92612 itself is one
important factor determining operation junction temperature, and it can be calculated by using Equation 3. 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.

(3)
In this application, the calculated result for maximum power consumption on the TPS92612 is 0.489 W at
V(SUPPLY) = 5.25 V and I(LED) = 150 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.

8.2.2 Single-Channel LED Driver With Heat Sharing
Using parallel resistors, thermal performance can be improved by balancing current between the TPS92612
device and the external resistors as follows. As the current-sense resistor controls the total LED string current,
the LED string current I(LED) is set by V(CS_REG) / R(SNS), while the TPS92612 current I(DRIVE) and parallel resistor
current I(P) combine to the total current.

8.2.2.1 Design Requirements
The input voltage range is 12 V ± 10%, LED maximum forward voltage VF_MAX = 2.5 V, minimum forward voltage
VF_MIN = 1.9 V, current I(LED) = 150 mA.
8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
In linear LED driver applications, the input and output voltage variation generates the most of the thermal
concerns. The resistor current I(P), as indicated by Ohm's law, depends on the voltage across the external
resistors. The TPS92612 controls the driver current I(DRIVE) to attain the desired total current. If I(P) increases, the
TPS92612 device decreases I(DRIVE) to compensate, and vice versa. The parallel-resistor takes highest current
and generates maximum heat at maximum supply voltage and minimum LED-string forward voltage.
The parallel resistor value must be carefully calculated to ensure that 1) thermal dissipation for both the
TPS92612 device and the resistor is within their thermal dissipation limits, and 2) device current at high voltage
drop condition is above the minimal output-current requirement.
STEP 1: Determine the current setting resistor, R(SNS) value by using Equation 4.

where
•
•
V(CS_REG) = 98 mV (typical)

The calculated result for R(SNS) is 0.653 Ω.
STEP 2: Calculate the parallel resistor, R(P) value by using Equation 5.
The parallel resistor R(P) is recommended to consume 50% of the total current at maximum supply voltage and
minimum LED-string forward voltage.

The calculated result for R(P) is about 100 Ω at V(SUPPLY) = 13.2 V.
STEP 3: Power consumption analysis for the worst application conditions.
The total device power consumption can be calculated by Equation 6.

The calculated maximum power consumption on the 100 Ω, R(P) parallel resistor is 0.548 W at V(SUPPLY) = 13.2 V
and V(OUT) = 3 × 1.9 V = 5.7 V.
TI recommends adding capacitors C(SUPPLY) at SUPPLY and C(OUT) at OUT. One 1-μF capacitor plus one 100-nF
decoupling ceramic capacitor close to the SUPPLY pin is recommended for C(SUPPLY), and a 10-nF ceramic
capacitor close to the OUT pin is recommended 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 could affect
PWM dimming performance.
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 shown in Figure 16. A NPN bipolar transistor with a base current-limiting
resistor, R1, can modulate the output current together with the device PWM function. The resistor value of R1
needs to be calculated based on the applied PWM voltage and β value of selected NPN transistor.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS92612 is designed to operate from a power system within the range specified in the Recommended
Operating Conditions. The SUPPLY input must be protected from reverse voltage and overvoltage 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.
