8.1 Application Information

The TPS61500 integrates a 3-A, 40-V low-side switch FET for driving up to 10 high brightness LEDs in series. The device regulates the FB pin voltage at 200 mV with current mode PWM control, and the LED current is sensed through a low value resistor in series with LEDs. The TPS61500 supports analog and pure PWM dimming methods for LED brightness control. Connecting a capacitor to the DIMC pin configures the device to be used for analog dimming, and the LED current varies proportional to the duty cycle of an external PWM signal. Floating the DIMC pin configures the device for pure PWM dimming with the average LED current being the PWM signal's duty cycle times a set LED current.
