PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS929121-Q1 device with FlexWire interface easily generates independent brightness and ON/OFF control for large amount LED units. It allows each single LED as a pixel in large LED array or string to display a complicated pattern or animation under accurate control. The FlexWire interface also uses the CAN physical layer through external CAN transceiver for data transmission between master controller (MCU) and TPS929121-Q1, which allows the TPS929121-Q1 to be controlled by control module far away in long distance. With these features, the single TPS929121-Q1 or multiple TPS929121-Q1 devices can drive large volume LEDs with digital control interface for automotive rear-lamp applications. The long distance, reliable off-board communication with high EMC performance simplifies the system design in lower cost for automotive application.
The TPS929121-Q1 also operates as a standalone LED driver without master controller. The fail-safe state is design to ensure the TPS929121-Q1 keeps operating in case the communication loss or master controller (MCU) damaged. TPS929121-Q1 can also use the fail-safe state without master-controller design for traditional automotive rear-lamp applications.
