8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

In the applications that need true regulation of the LED current, the intrinsic input current control loop can be changed to monitor the LED current by adding an external LED current sensing circuit. Figure 18 and Figure 23 show the example circuits for true LED current regulation in boost and SEPIC configurations respectively. In the circuits, the U3 (TL431) maintains a constant 2.5-V voltage drop on the resistors, R3 and R7. Because the U2 (TL431) maintains a constant voltage drop on the R3, the power dissipation on the output current sensing resistor, R7 can be minimized by setting a low voltage drop on the R7. Because the change of the current flowing through the R7 reflects in the change of the cathode current of U3 and eventually adjusts the ADJ pin voltage of the TPS92560, the LED current is regulated independent of the change of the input voltage.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

The specifications of the boost application circuit in Figure 18 are as listed as follows:

  • Input Voltage: VIN = 12 V
  • LED Stack Voltage: VLED = 21 V
  • Input Current: IIN(nom) = 500 mA
  • Input Power = 6 W
  • overvoltage Level: VVP(OVP) = 40 V

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.1.2.1 Calculate Values for the ADJ Resistors

First choose a value for RADJ2 in the range of 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ. For this example RADJ2 = 1 kΩ is chosen. Then calculate RADJ1 for the desired OVP level using Equation 25.

Equation 25. TPS92560 desex_Radj1_eq_snvs900.gif

Choose the nearest standard resistor value of RADJ1 = 102 kΩ.

8.2.1.2.2 Calculate the Sense Voltage and Sense Resistor Value

Given the calculated ADJ resistor values the sense voltage (VSEN) can be calculated using Equation 26.

Equation 26. TPS92560 desex_Vsen_eq_snvs900.gif

Given a current sense voltage of 206 mV the current sense resistor value (RSEN) can be calculated using Equation 27.

Equation 27. TPS92560 desex_Rsen_eq_snvs900.gif

The nearest standard value if 0.412Ω so choose RSEN = 0.412Ω.

8.2.1.2.3 Calculate the Inductor Value

Given a desired switching frequency of 1.4 MHz the inductor value can be calculated using Equation 28.

Equation 28. TPS92560 desex_L1_eq_snvs900.gif
Equation 29. TPS92560 desex_L_eq_snvs900.gif

Choose the closest standard inductor value of L = 22 µH.
