8.1 Application Information

In automotive lighting applications, thermal performance is always a design challenge for linear LED drivers.

To increase current-driving capability, the TPS92612-Q1 device supports heat sharing using an external parallel resistor as shown in Figure 21. This technique provides the low-cost solution of using external resistors to dissipate heat due to high input voltage, and still keeps high accuracy of the total current output.
