PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS92205x family integrates thermal shutdown protection to prevent the device from overheating. In order to provide design margin of system thermal performance, the device enables a programmable thermal foldback function which automatically reduces the full-scale max output current, IMAX, at high junction temperature. When the device along with the LEDs are mounted on the same thermal substrate, the thermal performance is effectively improved due to the reduction of dissipation need for both device and LED.
As the device junction temperature rises above the thermal foldback threshold temperature, TTH, the full-scale max current starts to reduce following the current-temperature curve shown in the below figure. The current starts to reduce from the 100% level at typically rate of 2% of IMAX per °C until it drops to 50% of the full scale. Once the junction temperature rises 25°C above the TTH, the current continues to decrease at a lower rate until the temperature reaches above the overtemperature shutdown threshold temperature, TTSD.
The TTH can be adjusted by changing the resistor RTEMP connected between the TEMP and AGND pin. The TTH and the corresponding RTEMP value are listed in below table.
