3 Description
The TPS6106x is a high-frequency, synchronous
boost converter with constant current output to drive
up to five white LEDs. For maximum safety, the
device features integrated overvoltage and an
advanced short-circuit protection when the output is
shorted to ground. The device operates with 1-MHz
fixed switching frequency to allow for the use of small external components and to simplify possible EMI
problems. The device comes with three different
overvoltage protection thresholds (14 V, 18 V, and 23
V) to allow inexpensive and small-output capacitors with lower voltage ratings. The LED current is initially
set with the external sense resistor Rs, and the
feedback voltage is regulated to 500 mV or 250 mV,
depending on the configuration of the ILED pin.
Digital brightness control is implemented by applying a simple digital signal to the ILED pin. Alternatively, a
PWM signal up to 1 kHz can be applied to the enable
pin to control the brightness of the LED. During
shutdown, the output is disconnected from the input
to avoid leakage current through the LEDs.
