3 Description

This user's guide describes the specifications, board connection descriptions, characteristics, operation, and use of the TPS92643-Q1, 3.0-A synchronous buck LED driver evaluation module (TPS92643EVM-204). The TPS92643-Q1 device implements an adaptive on-time average current mode control and is designed to be compatible with shunt FET dimming techniques and LED matrix manager-based dynamic beam headlamps. The adaptive on-time control provides near constant switching frequency that can be set from 100 kHz to 2.2 MHz. Inductor current sensing and closed-loop feedback enables better than ±4% accuracy over wide input voltage, output voltage and ambient temperature range.

TPS92643EVM-204 provides a high-brightness LED driver that is designed to operate with an input voltage in the range of 5.5 V to 36 V (nominally at 14 V). The EVM is setup for a default output current of 2.5 A (programmable to 3 A) for an LED stack between approximately 3 V and nearly 32 V operating at 440 kHz. The TPS92643-Q1 helps provide high efficiency, fast PWM dimming, and accurate wide-range analog dimming.
