PRODUCTION DATA.
A unique feature of the TPS92518-Q1 hysteretic control allows the first switching pulse of a PWM dimming on-time to rise completely to the correct peak current in one switching cycle. An example is shown in Figure 26. When the rising edge of the PWM signal is seen by the PWMx pin the main FET is turned on. The FET remains ON until the programmed peak current threshold is reached. Once reached, switching continues until the PWMx pin voltage goes low. The TPS92518-Q1 can also operate when using pulse widths that are sufficiently narrow that the programmed peak is not reached. The on-time is terminated at the end of the PWM pulse and another on-time initiated when the PWMx pin goes high again.
