Available with 42V and 60V (HV) input ranges, the LED drivers operate at a user-selected fixed-frequency with peak-current-mode control and deliver exceptional line and load regulation, says the company. The TPS92512/HV LED drivers feature separate inputs for analog and pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming for no compromise brightness control achieving contrast ratios of greater than 10:1 and greater than 100:1, respectively. The PWM input is compatible with low-voltage logic standards for easy interface to a broad range of microcontrollers. The analog LED current set-point is adjustable from 0V to 300mV using the IADJ input with an external 0V to 1.8V signal. For multi-string applications using two or more TPS92512/HV LED drivers, the internal oscillator can be overdriven by an external clock ensuring all of the converters operate at a common frequency thereby reducing the potential for beat frequencies and simplifying system EMI filtering. An adjustable input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis provides flexibility in setting start/stop voltages based upon supply voltage conditions. The TPS92512 includes cycle-by-cycle over-current protection and thermal-shutdown protection. It is available in a 10-pin HVSSOP PowerPAD package.
