7.3.9.4 LED Open-Circuit Detection

The TPS92633-Q1 device has LED open-circuit detection. The LED open-circuit detection monitors the output voltage when the current output is enabled. The LED open-circuit detection is only enabled when DIAGEN is HIGH. A short-to-battery fault is also detected and recognized as an LED open-circuit fault.

The TPS92633-Q1 monitors dropout-voltage differences between the IN and OUT pins for each LED channel when PWM is HIGH. The voltage difference V(INx) – V(OUTx) is compared with the internal reference voltage V(OPEN_th_rising) to detect LED open-circuit incident. When V(OUTx) rises causing V(INx) – V(OUTx) less than the V(OPEN_th_rising) voltage and lasts longer the deglitch time of t(OPEN_deg), the device asserts an open-circuit fault. Once a LED open-circuit failure is detected, the internal constant-current sink pulls down the FAULT pin voltage. During the deglitch time period, when V(OUTx) falls and makes V(INx) – V(OUTx) larger than V(OPEN_th_falling), the deglitch timer is reset.

The TPS92633-Q1 shuts down the output current regulation for the faulty channel after LED open-circuit fault is detected. The device sources a small current I(Retry) from SUPPLY to OUT when DIAGEN input is logic High. Once the fault condition is removed, the device resumes normal operation and releases the FAULT pin. Figure 7-8 illustrates the timing for LED open-circuit detection, protection, retry and recovery.
