7.3.2 Constant-Current Driver

The TPS92613-Q1 device is a high-side current driver for driving LEDs. The device controls the output current through regulating the voltage drop on an external high-side current-sense resistor, R(SNS). An integrated error amplifier drives an internal power transistor to maintain the voltage drop on the current-sense resistor R(SNS) to V(CS_REG) and therefore regulates the current output to target value. When the output current is in regulation, the current value can be calculated by using Equation 1.

Equation 1. TPS92613-Q1 eq-1.gif

where

  • V(CS_REG) = 98 mV (typical)

When the supply voltage drops below total LED string forward voltage plus required dropout voltage, V(DROPOUT), the TPS92613-Q1 is not able to deliver enough current output as set by the value of R(SNS), and the voltage across the current-sense resistor R(SNS) is less than V(CS_REG).
