6.3.6.5 Pre-Thermal Warning in NORMAL state

The TPS929240-Q1 has pre-thermal warning at typical 135°C.

When the junction temperature, T(J), of TPS929240-Q1 rises above pre-thermal warning threshold, the device reports pre-thermal warning, pull ERR pin with pulsed current sink for 50 µs and sets the flag registers including FLAG_PRETSD and FLAG_ERR to 1.

The fault is latched in flag registers. When the junction temperature of TPS929240-Q1 falls below pre-thermal warning threshold, the master controller must write 1 to CLRFAULT register to clear FLAG_PRETSD and FLAG_ERR. The CLRFAULT bit automatically returns to 0.

When more accurate thermal measurement on LED unit is required, one current output channel can be sacrificed to provide current bias to external thermal resistor such as PTC or NTC. The voltage of external thermal resistor can be measured by integrated ADC to acquire the temperature information of thermal resistor located area. The master controller can determine actions based on the acquired temperature information to turn off or reduce current output.
