TPS92512EVM-001 High-Current Buck Regulator With

Analog and PWM Dimming for High Brightness LEDs

1 Introduction

The TPS92512EVM-001 evaluation module (EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and

performance of the TPS92512HV buck switching regulator designed for high-current LED-drive

applications. The TPS92512HV device is designed to control the drive of high-brightness light emitting

diodes and features a wide input voltage range (4.5 V to 60 V), PWM dimming capability, analog dimming

capability, adjustable/syncable switching frequency, and input undervoltage protection.

2 Warnings

Observe the following precautions when using the TPS92512EVM-001.

WARNING

DO NOT STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE LED LIGHT SOURCE. Intense

light sources have a high-secondary blinding effect. A temporary

reduction in visual acuity and afterimages can occur, leading to

irritation, annoyance, visual impairment, and even

accidents—depending on the situation. Always consider the use of

light filtering and darkening protective eyewear and be fully aware

of surrounding laboratory-type set-ups when viewing intense light

sources to minimize or eliminate such risks in order to avoid

accidents related to temporary blindness.

WARNING

Do not stare at the operating LED (Risk Group1 [RG1]). See

IEC32471-1 ed1.0:2009-08 for risk group definitions.

3 Description

The TPS92512EVM-001 provides a high-brightness LED driver based on the TPS92512HV buck

regulator. It is designed to operate with an input voltage in the range of 12 V to 48 V. The EVM is set up

for a default output current of 1.5 A for an LED stack between approximately 5 V and 25 V. The

TPS92512 device helps provide high efficiency, good line regulation, low output ripple, and a wide

dimming range.

3.1 Typical Applications

This converter design describes an application of the TPS92512HV device as an LED driver with the

specifications described in Table 1. For applications with a different input voltage range or different output

voltage range refer to the TPS92512 data sheet.

3.2 Features

3.2.1 Connector Description

This section describes the connectors and test points on the EVM and how to properly connect, setup,

and use the TPS92512EVM-001.

3.2.1.1 J1, LED+, LED-

The screw-down connector, J1, and the test posts marked LED+ and LED- are for connecting the LED

load to the board. The leads to the LED load should be twisted and kept as short as possible to minimize

voltage drop, inductance, and EMI transmission. This design is for approximately 2 to 7 white LEDs.

3.2.1.2 J2, VIN, GND

The screw-down connector, J2, and the test posts marked VIN and GND are for connecting the EVM to

the DC input voltage supply. The input supply ground should be connected to J2 or the GND test post

directly next to J2. One other GND test point is provided on the board that can also be used for all

purposes but input power.

3.2.1.3 UVLO

The test point UVLO connects directly to the UVLO pin of the TPS92512 device. The voltage range is 0 V

to 4.5 V if driven externally. The UVLO resistor divider should be used for the UVLO function, but the

UVLO voltage can be monitored with this test point. Pulling UVLO to GND will also serve to disable the

part and put it into low power shutdown mode.

3.2.1.4 PDIM

The PDIM test point connects directly to the PDIM pin of the TPS92512 device. Leave open for normal

operation. If PWM dimming is used, apply a square wave with a low level of GND and a high level of

between 2 V and 4.5 V. The dimming frequency range is 100 Hz to 1 kHz.

3.2.1.5 SYNC

The SYNC test point is AC coupled to the RT/CLK pin of the TPS92512 device through a 4.02-kΩresistor

in series with a 470-pF capacitor. Apply a square wave with a low level of GND and a high level of 3.3 V

to synchronize the switching frequency to the applied frequency. The frequency range of SYNC is 200 kHz

to 2 MHz.

3.2.1.6 IADJ

The IADJ test point connects directly to the IADJ pin of the TPS92512 device. The default is pulled high

through a 10M resistor to VIN resulting in an ISENSE voltage of 300mV. The range on the IADJ pin is 180

mV to 1.8 V and the corresponding ISENSE voltage is VIADJ / 6.

3.2.1.7 PH

A large via, labelled PH, is included and sized specifically to receive the probe tip of a standard 10x probe.

Use this via to monitor the switching waveform at the PH pin of the device.
