3 Description
The TPS92511 is an easy to use 65V constant
current buck converter for driving a single LED string with current up to 0.5A and efficiency up to 95%.
Only 5 external components are required for basic
operation and single layer PCB layout is feasible
because of the integration of a N-MOSFET, no external current sensing resistor, no external
compensation and the proper terminal assignment. A
high-value external resistor programs the LED current
so that fine tuning of the LED current can be
achieved. Another high-value external resistor programs a constant switching frequency from 50kHz
to 500kHz. EMI design becomes easier as a result of
constant switching frequency. The TPS92511
provides a wide input voltage range from 4.5V to
65V. By adding simple external circuits, the device can handle applications with even higher input
voltages.
The TPS92511 employs a proprietary control scheme
to regulate the LED current without the need of
sensing the LED current directly. It applies a floating
buck topology with a low-side N-channel power
MOSFET, which does not need boot-strapping capacitor. For multiple channel systems, the floating
buck topology together with the proprietary control
scheme allows a common-anode connection of the
LED strings without an external current sensing
network. This significantly reduces the number of wiring and as well as overall manufacturing cost.
The TPS92511 has very fast PWM dimming response time. For example, if the switching frequency is 500
kHz, the minimum DIM pulse width is 6μs and the
dimming frequency is 150Hz, a contrast ratio of more
than 1000:1 can be achieved.
The TPS92511 is available in the Power Enhanced
SOIC-8 exposed thermal pad package.
