With the trend of better lighTIng homogeneity, highcurrentLEDs are often used in automoTIve front andrear lamps with lighTIng diffusers and light-guides。Meanwhile, in order to meet strict EMC and reliabilityrequirements, linear LED drivers are popular inautomotive applications. However, it is a challenge todeliver high current for linear LED drivers withintegrated power transistors. The TPS92830-Q1device is an advanced automotive-grade high-sideconstant-current linear LED controller for delivering high current using external N-channel MOSFETs. Thedevice has a full set of features for automotiveapplications and is compatible with a wide selectionof N-channel MOSFETs.

Each channel of the TPS92830-Q1 device sets thechannel current independently by the sense-resistorvalue. An internal precision constant-currentregulation loop senses the channel current by thevoltage across the sense resistor and controls thegate voltage of the N-channel MOSFET accordingly.

The device also integrates a two-stage charge pumpfor low-dropout operation. The charge-pump voltageis high enough to support a wide selection of NchanneliMOSFETs. iPWMidimmingiallowsimultiplesources for flexibility—internal PWM generator, external PWM inputs, or power supply dimming. Variousdiagnostics and protection features specially designed for automotive applications help improve systemrobustness and ease of use. A one-fails–all-fail fault bus supports TPS92830-Q1 operation together with the TPS92630-Q1, TPS92638-Q1, and TPS9261x-Q1 family to fulfill various fault-handling requirements.
