SNVS901A March 2014 – May 2014 TPS92511
PRODUCTION DATA.
The TPS92511 is an LED driver which provides a regulated output current to drive a single string of LED with the forward voltage lower than the input voltage. The following procedures design a TPS92511 application circuit with an input voltage of 48V, driving an LED string of 38V at an LED current of 0.5A. The switching frequency is 300 kHz.
DESIGN PARAMETER | EXAMPLE VALUE |
---|---|
Input voltage range | 43V to 53V |
LED current | 0.5A |
LED string forward voltage | 38V |
Operating frequency | 300 kHz |
CIN: The function of the input capacitor CIN is to reduce the input voltage ripple. Ceramic capacitors are recommended owing to the concern of product lifetime. A 100V 2.2 µF ceramic capacitor is selected in this circuit.
CVCC: The capacitor on the VCC pin provides noise filtering and stabilizes the internal regulator. It also prevents false triggering of the VCC UVLO. CVCC is recommended to be a 1 μF good quality and low ESR ceramic capacitor.
D1: The diode D1 should have a reverse voltage larger than VIN in the floating buck topology. In this circuit, a 100V diode is selected.
RFS and RIADJ: In this circuit, the switching frequency and LED current are designed to be 300 kHz and 0.5A. From Table 1 and Table 2, RFS is 33.2 kΩ and RIADJ is 3.01 kΩ.
L1: The selection of inductor mainly affects the inductor current ripple. In this circuit, we design the peak to peak inductor current ripple to be 50% of ILED, i.e. 0.25A. From (6), L1 is calculated to be 106 µH, and a 100 µH inductor is selected.
