Overview

The TPS92512DGQR is a step-down (buck) LED driver IC with an integrated 200-mOhm high-side MOSFET capable of delivering up to 2.5A of output current. It operates across a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 42V and supports high-frequency switching up to 2MHz for compact design footprints. This regulator is specifically designed to provide high-accuracy constant current for high-brightness LED strings using PWM dimming control.

Why Choose This Part

It offers 5 percent current accuracy for consistent light output across different units and temperature ranges. The integration of the power MOSFET and a 2MHz switching frequency allows for the use of small external inductors and capacitors, reducing the overall PCB area. Safety features include overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection, and adjustable undervoltage lockout to ensure system longevity.

Applications

Industrial Lighting
Driving high-power LED arrays in industrial workspaces where constant current and high efficiency are required.
Automotive Aftermarket Lighting
Utilizing the wide input voltage range for auxiliary lighting, light bars, and interior illumination in 12V and 24V systems.
Street and Architectural Lighting
Reliable constant current regulation for outdoor lighting fixtures requiring precise dimming and high thermal stability.

Getting Started

Designers can evaluate this part using the TPS92512EVM evaluation module to test PWM dimming performance and thermal characteristics. Reference the datasheet for proper layout of the HVSSOP-10 PowerPAD to ensure adequate heat dissipation at the full 2.5A load. Calculate the external sense resistor based on the desired LED current and verify that the inductor saturation current exceeds the peak switch current limit.
