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 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 automotive applications and Is compatible with a wide selection of N-channel MOSFETs.

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

The device also integrates a two-stage charge pump for low-dropout operation. The charge-pump voltage is high enough to support a wide selection of NchanneliMOSFETs. iPWMidimmingiallowsimultiplesources for flexibility—internal PWM generator, external PWM inputs, or power supply dimming.
