7.1 Application Information

The TPS929160-Q1 device with FlexWire interface easily generates independent brightness and ON and OFF control for large amount LED units. The device allows each single LED as a pixel in large LED array or string to display a complicated pattern or animation under accurate control. The FlexWire interface also supports to use the CAN physical layer through external CAN transceiver for data transmission between master microcontroller (MCU) and TPS929160-Q1, which allows the TPS929160-Q1 to be controlled by control module far away in long distance. With these features, the single TPS929160-Q1 or multiple TPS929160-Q1 devices can drive large volume LEDs with digital control interface for automotive lighting applications. The long distance, reliable off-board communication with high EMC performance simplifies the system design in lower cost for automotive application.

The TPS929160-Q1 can also operate as a standalone LED driver without master MCU. The FAIL-SAFE state is designed to ensure the TPS929160-Q1 keeps operating in case the communication is lost or the master MCU is damaged. TPS929160-Q1 can also use the FAIL-SAFE state without master MCU design for traditional automotive lighting applications.
