JAJSR45 august 2023 TPS92621-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
When the supply voltage drops below LED string total forward voltage plus headroom voltage at required current, the TPS92621-Q1 device operates in low-dropout condition to deliver output current as close as possible to target value. The actual output current is less than preset value due to insufficient headroom voltage for power transistor. As a result, the voltage across the sense resistor fails to reach the regulation target. The headroom voltage is the summation of V(DROPOUT) and V(CS_REG).
If the TPS92621-Q1 is designed to operate in low-dropout condition, the open-circuit diagnostics must be disabled by pulling the DIAGEN pin voltage lower than VIL(DIAGEN). Otherwise, the TPS92621-Q1 detects an open-circuit fault and reports a fault on the FAULT pin. The DIAGEN pin is used to avoid false diagnostics due to low supply voltage.
