Description
The LITIX™ Basic+ TLD2331-3EP is a triple channel high-side driver IC with integrated output stages. It is
designed to control LEDs with a current up to 80 mA. In typical automotive applications the device is capable
of driving 3 red LEDs per chain (total 9 LEDs) with a current up to 60 mA and even above, if not limited by the
overall system thermal properties. Practically, the output current is controlled by an external resistor or
reference source, independently from load and supply voltage changes.

Internal supply
This chapter describes the internal supply in its main parameters and functionality.
4.1
Description
The internal supply principle is highlighted in the concept diagram of Figure 3.
If the voltage applied at the EN/DEN pin is below VEN(th) the device enters sleep mode. In this state all internal
functions are switched off and the current consumption is reduced to IS(sleep) .
As soon as the voltage applied at the supply pin VS is above VSUV(ON) and the voltage applied at the EN/DEN pin
is above VEN(th), after the power-on reset time tPOR, the device is ready to deliver output current from the output
stages. The power on reset time tPOR has to be taken into account also in relevant application conditions, i. e.
with PWM control from VS or EN/DEN lines.

Internal supply
Furthermore, as soon as the voltage applied at the supply pin VS is above VSUV(ON) and the voltage applied to
the EN/DEN pin VEN is above VDEN(th), the device is ready to detect and report fault conditions via ERRN (error
network pin) as described in Chapter 6.
To program outputs enable and diagnosis enable via EN/DEN pin there are several possibilities, like a resistor
divider from VS to GND, a Zener diode from EN/DEN to VS and also a logic control pin (e.g. from a
microcontroller output).

Power stages
The three output stages are realized as high-side current sources with an output current up to 80mA. During
off state the leakage current at the output stages is minimized in order to prevent a slightly glowing LED.
The maximum output current is limited by the power dissipation and used PCB cooling areas.
For an operating output current control loop, the supply and output voltages have to be considered according
to the following parameters:
•
Required supply voltage for current control VS(CC)
•
Voltage drop over through the output stage during current control VPSx(CC)
•
Required output voltage for current control VOUTx(CC)
5.1
Protection
The device provides embedded protective functions, which are designed to prevent IC damage under fault
conditions described in this datasheet. Fault conditions are considered as “outside” normal operating range.
Protective functions are not designed for continuous nor for repetitive operations.
5.1.1
Thermal protection
A thermal protection circuitry is integrated in the device. It is realized by a temperature monitoring of the
output stages.
As soon as the junction temperature exceeds the current reduction temperature threshold TJ(CRT) the output
current can be reduced by the device by reducing the IN_SETx reference voltage VIN_SETx(ref). This feature
greatly helps to avoid LEDs flickering during static output overload conditions. Furthermore, it helps to
protect the LEDs, which are mounted thermally close to the device, against overtemperature. If the device
temperature still increases, the three output currents decrease close to 0 A. As soon as the device cools down
the output currents rise again.

The IN_SETx pins are multiple function pins for the outputs current definition and inputs control.

Output current adjustment via RSET
The output current for the channels can be defined connecting a low power resistor (RSETx) between the
IN_SETx pins and GND. The dimensioning of the resistors can be done using the formula:
(5.1)
I OUTx = k ⋅ I IN _ SETx = k ⋅ VIN _ SETx ( ref ) / RSETx
The gain factor kx (defined as the ratio IOUTx/IIN_SETx) is graphically described in Figure 7.
The current through the RSETx is defined by the resistor itself and the reference voltage VIN_SETx(ref), which is
applied to the IN_SETx pin when the device is supplied and the channel enabled.

Output control via IN_SETx
The IN_SETx pins can be connected via their RSETx to the open-drain outputs of a microcontroller or to an
external NMOS transistor as described in Figure 9. This signal can be used to turn off the relative output stages
of the IC.
A minimum IN_SETx current of IIN_SETx(ACT) is required to turn on the output stages. This feature is implemented
to prevent glowing of LEDs caused by leakage currents on the IN_SETn pins, see again Figure 7 for details.

IN_SETx pins behavior during device fault management
If a fault condition arises on the channel controlled by the IN_SETx pins, once the D-pin reaches the high level
threshold VD(th), the current of all the IN_SETx pins is reduced to IIN_SETx(fault), in order to minimise the current
consumption of the whole device under fault condition (detailed description is in the load diagnosis section,
Chapter 6).

•

The device is able to report a detected failure in one of its driven loads and react to a fault detected by another
LED driver in the system if a shared error network is implemented (i. e. driving LED chains of the same light
function). This is possible with the usage of an external pull-up resistor, allowing multiple devices to share the
open drain diagnosis output pin ERRN. All devices sharing the common error network are capable to detect
the fault from any of the channels driven by the LITIX™ Basic+ LED drivers and, if desired, to switch multiple
loads off.

Shared error network principle between LITIX™ Basic+ family devices
When one of the channels is detected to be under fault conditions (for, at least, a filter time tfault), the opendrain ERRN pin sinks a pull-down current IERRN(fault) toward GND. Therefore an active low state can be detected
at ERRN pin when VERRN < VERRN(fault) and if this condition is reached, provided the proper setup of the delay pin
D, all the channels are switched off. Similarly, when the fault is removed, ERRN pin is put back in high
impedance state, and the channels reactivation procedure can be completed once D-pin voltage is below the
value VD(th), as illustrated in the timing diagrams in this chapter.

D-pin (block diagram).
The D-pin is designed for 2 main purposes:
•
To react to error conditions in LED arrays according to the implemented fault management policy, in
systems where multiple LED chains are used for a given light function.
•
To extend the channels deactivation delay time of a value tD, adding a small signal capacitor from the Dpin to GND. In this way, an unstable or noisy fault condition may be prevented from switching off all the
channels of a given light function (i.e. driven by several driver ICs sharing the same error network).
The functionality of the D-pin is shown in the Figure 14 simplified block diagram:
If one LED within one chain fails in open load condition or one of the device outputs are shorted to GND, the
respective LED chain is off. Different automotive applications require a complete deactivation of a light
function, if the desired brightness of the function (LED array) can not be achieved due to an internal error
condition.
In normal operative status (no fault) a pull-down current ID(PD) is sunk from the D-pin to GND. If there is a fault
condition (for, at least, a filter time tfault) in one of the LED channels driven by the IC or in any of the devices
sharing the same ERRN error network line, a pull-up current ID(fault) is instead sourced from the D-pin. As a
consequence, if a capacitive or open load is applied at this pin, its voltage starts rising.
When VD(th) is reached at D-pin, all the channels driven by the device are switched off and if other devices share
the same ERRN and D-pins nodes, all the devices turn their outputs off.
Alternatively, if the D-pin is tied to GND, only the channel that has been detected with a fault is safely
deactivated.

too), as described in Chapter 6.3.
6.2
Open Load (OL) and short OUTx to GND (SC)
The behavior of the device during overload conditions that lead to an excess of internal heating up to
overtemperature condition, is already described in Chapter 5.
Open load (OL) and OUTx shorted to GND (SC) diagnosis features are also integrated in the TLD2331-3EP.
An open load condition is detected if the voltage drop over one of the output stages VPSx is below the threshold
VPSx(OL) at least for a filter time tfault.
A short to GND condition is detected if the voltage of one output stages VOUTx is below the threshold VOUTx(SC) at
least for a filter time tfault.
6.2.1
Fault management (D-pin open or connected with a capacitor to GND)
With D-pin open or connected with a capacitor to GND configuration, it is possible to switch off all the channels
which share a common error network, without the need of an auxiliary microcontroller. For more details refer
also to the timing diagram of Figure 15, Figure 16.
If there is an OL or SC condition on one of the outputs, a pull-up current IOUT(fault) then flows out from the
affected channel, replacing the configured output current (but limited by the actual load impedance, e.g.
reduced to zero with an ideal open load). Under these conditions, the ERRN pin starts sinking a current
IERRN(fault) toward GND and (with proper dimensioning of the external pull-up resistor) reaches a voltage level
below VERRN(fault).
After tD(set), the voltage VD(th) is reached at D-pin, the IN_SETx goes in a weak pull-down state with a current
consumption IIN_SETx(fault) after an additional latency time tIN_SETx(del). The ERRN low voltage can also be used as
input signal for a microcontroller to perform the desired diagnosis policy.
The OL and SC error conditions are not latched: as soon as the fault condition is no longer present (at least for
a filter time tfault) ERRN goes back to high impedance. When its voltage is above VERRN(fault), the D-pin voltage
starts decreasing and after tD(reset) goes below (VD(th) - VD(th,hys)). Then the IN_SETx voltages go up to VIN_SETx(ref),
again after a time tIN_SETx(del): at this point, the output stages are activated again. The total time between the
fault removal and the IN_SET reactivation tERR(reset) is extended by an additional latency which depends on the
external ERRN pin pull-up and filter circuitry.

Fault management (D-pin connected to GND)
With D-pin connected to GND configuration, it is possible to deactivate only the channel under fault
conditions, still sharing ERRN pin in a common error network with other devices of LITIX™ Basic+ family.
If there is fault condition on one of the outputs, a pull-up current IOUT(fault) flows out from the affected channel,
replacing the configured output current (but limited by the actual load impedance, e.g. reduced to zero with
an ideal open load). Under fault conditions the ERRN pin starts sinking a current IERRN(fault) to ground and the
voltage level on this pin will drop below VERRN(fault) if the external pull-up resistor is properly dimensioned. The
ERRN low voltage can also be used as input signal for a µC to perform the desired diagnosis policy.

The fault status is not latched: as soon as the fault condition is no longer present (at least for a filter time tfault),
ERRN goes back to high impedance and, once its voltage is above VERRN(fault), finally the output stages are
activated again.

Single LED Short detection, SLS_REF and DS pins
An output single LED short circuit (SLS) detection diagnosis feature is available. This allows an easy detection
of loss of luminous flux in the light function due to this failure mode, which does not necessarily result in a
condition similar or equivalent to an open load or short to GND condition. To make the SLS error management
compliant with the majority of system requirements, the TLD2331-3EP allows the possibility to manage a low
current consumption mode with a load reactivation and retry strategy (via D and DS pins connected to
external capacitors), or with error detection via ERRN pin monitoring (with D-pin shorted to GND).

SLS_REF pin (block diagram) with resistor termination
The SLS_REF pin is designed to generate an accurate and tunable reference voltage to allow reliable detection
of SLS failure.
This reference can be programmed to adapt the SLS detection to the load related variables (as number of LED
in series, load currents, LED forward voltages fluctuation and mismatches, etc.).
The pin provides an accurate reference current ISLS_REF (a replica of IIN_SET2) which can be used to generate the
desired reference voltage with an external low cost precision resistor. The voltage VSLS_REF is then internally
compared with a fraction of the OUT voltage: if the OUT voltage is below the minimum expected value, then
the SLS error management starts (see Chapter 6.3.3 for more detailed description and reference formulas).
Figure 19 shows the basic block diagram of SLS_REF pin.

DS pin (block diagram)
The DS pin is used to implement a timer function which allows load reactivation retries during SLS failure.
By default, when no SLS fault is detected, a pull-down current IDS(PD) is sunk from the DS pin to GND. If a SLS
fault condition is verified, a capacitor on DS pin allows fault management with minimal current consumption
of the device for a time which depends on the capacitive load applied, according to the detailed description
of Chapter 6.3.4.
6.3.3
SLS fault detection
A single LED anode-cathode short circuit condition is detected if the lowest voltage between OUT1, OUT2 and
OUT3 is below a fixed multiple BSLS of the voltage at SLS_REF pin, according to Equation (6.3).The voltage
VSLS_REF can be adjusted applying a resistor from SLS_REF to GND, according to Equation (6.4) and the
parameter KSLS_REF (P_7.5.13).
min (VOUT 1 , VOUT 2 , VOUT 3 ) ≤ BSLS ⋅ VSLS _ REF
(6.3)
VSLS _ REF = I SLS _ REF ⋅ RSLS _ REF
(6.4)
6.3.4
SLS fault management: D and DS pins open or connected with capacitors to
GND (low power consumption mode with retry strategy)
Under this pin configuration, as described in the title of this chapter, if there is an SLS condition the outputs
are turned off when the voltage level VD(th) is reached at D-pin.
Under fault condition the ERRN pin starts sinking a current IERRN(fault) to ground and the voltage level on this pin
will drop below VERRN(fault) if the external pull-up resistor is properly dimensioned. After tD(set), the voltage VD(th)
is reached at D-pin and the IN_SETx pins go into a weak pull-down state with a current consumption
IIN_SETx(fault), after an additional latency time tIN_SETx(del).

Then (differently from the management of OL and SC detection) the voltage at DS pin also starts rising with a
pull-up current IDS(PU), until it reaches the threshold VDS(H), when it starts discharging with the current IDS(PD).
Now the DS voltage can cross the lower voltage threshold VDS(L): at this time a full wait time cycle tSL_WAIT is
completed and the device performs a load reactivation retry, turning the output currents back on. If the SLS
fault condition persists, a new tSL_WAIT cycle is started. If at the end of one wait cycle the fault is not detected
anymore, the device goes back to normal operation. The dimensioning of typical tSL_WAIT is ruled by the
following equations.
t DS(rise) =
CDS ⋅ VDS( H )
(6.5)
I DS( PU )
t DS ( fall ) =
C DS ⋅ (VDS ( H ) − VDS ( L) )
I DS ( PD)
≈
C DS ⋅ VDS ( H )
(6.6)
I DS ( PD)
t SL ( wait ) = t DS ( rise) + t DS ( fall ) + t IN _ SET ( del ) ≈ t DS ( rise)
(6.7)
A graphical description is shown in the timing diagram example of Figure 21.
With this error management algorithm, it is possible to detect the SLS fault monitoring the device
consumption from the VS line, which remains as low as IS(fault) during the whole wait cycle.

SLS fault management: D-pin shorted to GND
Under D-pin shorted to GND configuration, the output affected by a single LED short fault is not turned off,
different from an open load or short circuit to GND fault condition. The potential on the IN_SETx pins remains

VIN_SETx(ref), the ERRN pin starts sinking a current IERRN(fault) toward GND. Again, the resulting ERRN low voltage
can be used as input signal for a microcontroller to perform the desired diagnosis policy. Also the SLS status
is not latched: as soon as the fault condition is no longer present (at least for a filter time tfault) ERRN goes back
to high impedance.
An examples of this SLS diagnosis condition is shown in the timing diagrams of Figure 22.
