8.1 Application Information

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

The TPS92613-Q1 device is capable of detecting LED open-circuit and LED short-circuits. To increase current-driving capability, the TPS92613-Q1 device supports using an external parallel resistor to help dissipate heat as following section Single-Channel LED Driver With Heat Sharing describes. This method provides a low-cost solution of using external resistors to minimize thermal accumulation on the device itself due to large voltage difference between input voltage and LED string forward voltage, while still keeping high accuracy of the total current output. Note that the one-fails–all-fail feature is not supported by this topology.
