Pin Functions

PINPINI/ODESCRIPTION
NAMENO.I/ODESCRIPTION
COMP7I/OTransconductance error amplifier output. Connect compensation network to achieve desired closed- loop response.
CSN13ICurrent sense amplifier negative input (-). Connect directly to the negative node of LED current sense resistor, R CS .
CSP14ICurrent sense amplifier positive input (+). Connect directly to the positive node of LED current sense resistor, R CS .
DIM/PWM10IExternal analog to PWM dimming command or direct PWM dimming input. The external analog dimming command between 1 V and 3 V is compared to the internal PWM generator triangle waveform to set LED current duty cycle between 0% and 100%. With PWM generator disabled, a direct PWM dimming command can be applied to control the LED current duty cycle and frequency. The analog or PWM command is used to generate an internal PWM signal that controls the GATE and PDRV outputs. Setting the internal PWM signal to logic level low, turns off switching, idles the oscillator, disconnects the COMP pin, and sets PDRV to V CSP . Connect to VREF when not used for PWM dimming.
DM5I/OTriangle wave spread spectrum modulation frequency, f m , programming pin. Connect a capacitor to GND to set the spread spectrum modulating frequency. Connect directly to GND to disable spread spectrum modulation of switching frequency.
FLT3OOpen-drain fault indicator. Connect to VREF with a resistor to create active low fault signal output. Internal LED short circuit protection and auto-restart timer can enabled by directly connecting the pin to SS input.
GATE19ON-channel MOSFET gate driver output. Connect to gate of external main switching N-channel MOSFET.
GND17-Analog and Power ground connection pin. Connect to circuit ground to complete return path.
IADJ9ILED current reference input. Connect this pin to VCC with a 100-k Ω series resistor to set the internal reference voltage to 2.42 V and the current sense threshold, V (CSP-CSN) to 170.7 mV. The pin can be modulated by an external voltage source from 140 mV to 2.25 V to implement analog dimming.
IMON8OLED current report pin. The LED current sensed by CSP/CSN input is reported as V IMON = 14 × I LED × R CS . Bypass with a 1-nF ceramic capacitor connected to GND.
IS18ISwitch current sense input. Connect to the switch sense resistor, R IS to set the switch current limit threshold based on the internal 250 mV reference.
OV15IOutput voltage input. Connect a resistor divider from output voltage to GND to set output overvoltage and under-voltage protection thresholds.
PDRV12OSeries dimming P-channel FET gate driver output. Connect to gate of external P-channel MOSFET to implement series FET PWM dimming and fault disconnect.

Typical Application

The TPS92692 and TPS92692-Q1 controllers are suitable for implementing step-up or step-down LED driver topologies including boost, buck-boost, SEPIC, and flyback. Use the following design procedure to select component values for the TPS92692-Q1 device. This section presents a simplified discussion of the design process for the boost and buck-boost converter. The expressions derived for the buck-boost topology can be altered to select components for a 1:1 coupled-inductor SEPIC converter. The design procedure can be easily adapted for flyback and similar converter topologies.
