The TPS9260x-Q1 family of devices is a single-channel and dual-channel high-side-current
LED driver. With full protection and diagnostics, this family of devices is dedicated for and
ideally suited to automotive front lighting. The base of each independent driver is a
peak-current-mode boost controller. Each controller has two independent feedback loops, a
current-feedback loop with a high-side current-sensing shunt and a voltage-feedback loop with an
external resistor-divider network. The controller delivers a constant output voltage or a constant
output current. The connected load determines whether the device regulates a constant output
current (if the circuit reaches the current set-point earlier than voltage set-point) or a constant
output voltage (if the circuit reaches the voltage set-point is reached first, for example, in an
open-load condition).
Each controller supports all typical topologies such as boost, boost-to-battery, SEPIC,
or flyback.
Uses of the high-side PMOS FET driver are for PWM dimming of the LED string and for
cutoff in case of an external short circuit to GND to protect the circuit.
