3 Description

The TPS92621-Q1 single-channel LED driver

includes a unique thermal management design

to reduce temperature rising on the device. The

TPS92621-Q1 is a linear driver directly powered by

automotive batteries with large voltage variations to

output full current loads up to 300 mA. Shunt resistor

is leveraged to share output current and dissipate

power out of the driver. The device full-diagnostic

capabilities include LED open, LED short-to-GND

circuit, and device overtemperature protection.

The one-fails-all-fail feature of TPS92621-Q1 can

work together with other LED drivers, such as

the TPS9261x-Q1, TPS9262x-Q1, TPS9263x-Q1,

and TPS92830-Q1 devices, to address different

requirements.
