The TPS61043 is a high-frequency boost converter with constant current output that drives white LEDs or similar. The LED current is set with the external sense resistor (RS) and is directly regulated by the feedback pin (FB) that regulates the voltage across the sense resistor RSto 252 mV (typical). To control LED brightness, the LED current can be pulsed by applying a PWM (pulse width modulated) signal with a frequency range of 100 Hz to 50 kHz to the control pin (CTRL). To allow higher flexibility, the device can be configured so that the brightness is controlled by an analog signal as well, as described inApplication Information. To avoid possible leakage currents through the LEDs during shutdown, the control pin (CTRL) disables the device and disconnects the LEDs from ground. For maximum safety during operation, the output has integrated overvoltage protection that prevents damage to the device by limiting the output voltage to typically 18 V in case of a high-impedance output (for example, faulty LED). The TPS61043 device provides a solution for applications where higher LED currents or more than four LEDs in series must be powered.

500mA High Power White LED Driver with standard Logic Interface

The TPS6106x is a high-frequency, synchronous boost converter with constant current output to drive up to 5 white LEDs. For maximum safety, the device features integrated overvoltage and an advanced short-circuit protection when the output is shorted to ground. The device operates with 1-MHz fixed switching frequency to allow for the use of small external components and to simplify possible EMI problems. The device comes with three different overvoltage protection thresholds (14 V/18 V/23 V) to allow inexpensive and small-output capacitors with lower voltage ratings. The LED current is initially set with the external sense resistor Rs, and the feedback voltage is regulated to 500 mV or 250 mV, depending on the ILED pin configuration. Digital brightness control is implemented by applying a simple digital signal to the ILED pin. Alternatively, a PWM signal up to 1 kHz can be applied to the enable pin to control the LED brightness. During shutdown, the output is disconnected from the input to avoid leakage current through the LEDs.
