10.2.2 Two Brightness Levels for TAIL and STOP Lights

For a typical TAIL and STOP application, implementation using the TPS92638-Q1 device with an integrated STOP and TAIL function is easy. The following schematic depicts the application circuit. In a typical application, two independent sources, namely Tail and Stop, power the stop and tail lights. Using blocking diodes D0 and D1 with the TPS92638-Q1 device allows merging the STOP and TAIL functions, powered by a single supply. Blocking diode D2 protects the STOP pin during a reverse battery scenario. The STOP pin has an internal pulldown resistor to ensure a low state when STOP is not active.
