The TPS92515 family of devices are compact monolithic switching regulators integrating a low resistance N-Channel MOSFET. The devices are intended for high-brightness LED lighting applications where efficiency, high bandwidth, PWM and/or analog dimming and small size are important. The regulator operates using a constant off-time, peak current control. The operation is simple: after an off-time based on the output voltage, an on-time begins. The on-time ends once the inductor peak current threshold is reached. The TPS92515 device can be configured to maintain a constant peak-to-peak ripple during the ON and OFF periods of a shunt FET dimming cycle. This is ideal for maintaining a linear response across the entire shunt FET dimming range. Steady-state accuracy is aided by the inclusion of a low-offset, high-side comparator. LED current can be modulated using either Analog 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 TPS92515 and TPS92515-Q1 devices have an operational input range up to 42 V. The TPS92515HV and TPS92515HV-Q1 offer high-voltage options with an input range up to 65 V. All are available in a thermally enhanced 10-pin HVSSOP package. The TPS92515 family of devices are compact monolithic switching regulators integrating a low resistance N-Channel MOSFET.

The TPS92518-Q1 family of parts are dual channel buck LED current controllers with a SPI communications interface. The serial communication interface provides a singular communication path for multichannel and platform lighting driver module (LDM) applications. The TPS92518-Q1 uses a quasi-hysteretic control method that supports switching frequencies ranging from 1 kHz to 2 MHz. This control method enables superior, high frequency shunt FET dimming and also handles the demanding dynamic loads of adaptive LED matrix based headlamp systems. Software programmable SPI set points (Precision Peak Current, Controlled Off-Time and Output Voltage Sense) enables designers to develop a single LED driver solution for multiple load configurations that can be quickly reconfigured for future LED driver design requirements.

The TPS92543 device contains a synchronous BOOST controller and a monolithic synchronous buck LED driver with a wide 4.5V to 65V operating BUCK input voltage range. The TPS92543 includes two sub-strings of three series connected floating bypass FET controllers.
