8.1 Application Information

In automotive lighting applications, thermal performance and LED diagnostics are always design challenges for linear LED drivers.

The TPS92611-Q1 device is capable of detecting LED open-circuit and LED short-circuit failures. To further increase current-driving capability, the TPS92611-Q1 device supports heat sharing with 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. Note that the one-fails–all-fail feature is not supported by this topology.
