3 Description
The TPS92661 device is a compact, highly-integrated
solution for shunt FET dimming for large arrays of
high-brightness LEDs in applications such as
automotive headlights.
The TPS92661 device includes a 12-switch series
array for bypassing individual LEDs in the string and
a serial communication interface for control and
management by a master microcontroller.
An on-board charge pump rail that can float up to
67 V above GND provides the LED bypass switch
gate drive.The low on-resistance (RDS(on)) of the
bypass switch minimizes conduction loss and power
dissipation.
The TPS92661 device contains a multi-drop universal
asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) for serial
communication. The turn-on and turn-off times are
programmable for each individual LED in the string.
The PWM frequency is adjustable via an internal
register and multiple devices can be synchronized to
the same frequency and phase.
The TPS92661 device features open LED protection
as well as open and short LED fault reporting via the
serial interface.
The TQFP package features a feed-through topology
to enable easy routing of signals on single-layer
metal core LED load boards.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS92661 lighting matrix manager (LMM) device, in conjunction with a buck switching current regulator,
enables a fully dynamic matrix beam solution where each LED can be individually controlled. This type of control
of an LED array is ideally suited for dynamic headlight applications where adaptive beam forming requires pixel
level control of the array.
The TPS92661 device configures 12 series connected low voltage switches (MOSFETs) that can float up to 67 V
above ground potential. Each switch connects in parallel to one LED, thereby creating individual shunt paths
across each LED of a series string of 12 LEDs. LED strings with fewer LEDs can be used, however the unused
channels should be physically shorted externally to reduce unnecessary internal power consumption.
Each switch has an individual driver, overvoltage protection circuit and diagnostics circuit referenced to the
source of that switch. This configuration allows for fully dynamic operation with the switches above it and below
it. The device monitors overvoltage conditions on each switch and automatically protects them in the event of an
open LED connection. The device detects open LED conditions as well as shorted LED conditions and reports
them through the fault reporting network.
All twelve internal bypass switches can be individually pulse width modulated (PWM) at a programmed frequency
and duty cycle. This PWM dimming topology provides Inherent phase shifting capability. In addition, the switch
transitions during PWM dimming are slew rate limited to mitigate any EMI concerns due to the di/dt and dv/dt of
the switching action.
The TPS92661 device also provides multi-drop UART communications capability between a host MCU and up to
8 slave TPS92661 devices. The UART receives data corresponding to the desired PWM information for all 12
internal switches. In addition, it can send back fault and other diagnostic data to the host MCU. Hardware
connections on the three address pins allows addressing of the eight devices.
An internal regulator accepts the 5-V power supply input for the TPS92661 device and generates a 3.3-V
regulated output for the I/O buffers used in the internal UART. The internal regulator can be bypassed by
shorting VIN to VCC if 5-V communication is desired.
The combination of features in the TPS92661 device provides the ideal interface for individual control of high
current LED arrays. The Figure 27 shows a dynamic headlight application using multiple TPS92661 devices. The
electronic control unit (ECU), usually attached to the outside of the headlight, contains the master MCU, a boost
pre-regulator stage that takes the variable battery voltage and steps it up to a stable DC voltage rail. The
application includes multiple channels of buck current regulators to provide a stable current through each series
string of 12 high brightness LEDs. The TPS92661 device should reside on the LED load board where it is as
close as possible to the LEDs to which it directly connects.
This location has two major benefits.
The close proximity minimizes distributed inductance and parasitic capacitance associated with the cable
connection between ECU board and LED load board. When PWM dimming with a parallel shunt FET, locating
the switch close to the LED prevents large ringing during each transition.
The close proximity offers better thermal connection
Ultimately, the TPS92661 device enables an optimal partition for a flexible, high performing dynamic headlight
system.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Controlling the Internal LED Bypass Switches
The TPS92661 device (LED Matrix Manager) consists of 12 series connected bypass switches between
terminals LED12 and LED0. Each bypass switch, when driven to an off state, allows the string current to flow
through the corresponding parallel-connected LED, turning the LED on. Conversely, driving the bypass switch to
an on state shunts the current through the bypass switch and turns the LED off.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Internal Switch Resistance
Each single switch (connected between LEDnand LEDn–1) has a measurable typical RDS(on) value of 225 mΩ.
This measurement includes the actual on-resistance (RDS(on)) of the switch and the resistance of the two
internally connected bond wires. When multiple series switches are on, the effective resistance is not simply the
number of channels multiplied by 225 mΩbecause there are not two conducting bond wires for every series-
connected switch. For this reason the all-switches on-resistance (RALL(on)) is specified in the Electrical
Characteristics table. This value includes the twelve RDS(on) on-resistances and the resistance of the bond wires
at each end of the series connected switches.
The dominant power loss mechanism In the TPS92661 device, is I2R loss through the switches. Other power
loss sources are always less than 50 mW. When calculating the power dissipation of the TPS92661 device
switches, use Equation 1 for the best estimation of this power loss.
where n is the number of channels (1)
See the 6 LED, 1.5-A Application section for a sample calculation.
7.3.3 PWM Dimming
The TPS92661 device provides 10-bit PWM dimming of each individual LED. The LED turn-on and turn-off times
are separately programmed for each LED. The LEDxON registers and LEDxOFF registers (where x = 1 to 12)
determine the LED turn-on and turn-off times, respectively, within the PWM dimming period. Phase shifting can
be accomplished by staggering the LEDxON times or LEDxOFF times. The 10-bit internal PWM Period Counter
(TCNT) is compared against the LEDxON and LEDxOFF values.
When TCNT reaches the programmed LEDxON value for a given LED, the corresponding bypass switch is
turned off to force current through the LED. Similarly, when TCNT reaches the programmed LEDxOFF value, the
bypass switch is turned on to turn off the LED. TCNT counts continuously from 0 to 1023 and returns to 0 again.
The LED PWM dimming period equals 1024 times the internally divided, programmable PWM clock period.
Figure 9 shows an example of LED PWM using values of LEDxON = 250 and LEDxOFF = 800.
Figure 9. LED PWM Example
Because the LEDxON and LEDxOFF times are completely programmable, this allows the system flexibility to
phase shift the leading edge (LED On), the trailing edge (LED Off), or double-edge PWM.
The comparison circuitry consists of a digital comparator, along with an AND gate to allow that particular
comparison to propagate to the LED switch. The TCNT counter value is continuously compared against the value
programmed into the LED On/Off registers. The ENON bit that corresponds to that particular LED determines
whether or not that comparison has any effect at the LED. The logic is represented in Figure 10.

Figure 10. PWM Dimming Control Logic
7.3.4 PWM Clock
The PWM clock that drives TCNT is a divided-down version of the CLK input. The divider is programmed by
writing to the PWM clock divider register (PCKDIV). The divider comprises two dividers in series: a power-of-2
clock divider followed by a decimal count divider (see Figure 11 and PWM Clock Divider Register (PCKDIV) for
PCKDIV bitmap). Upon power-up, the PWM clock divider is programmed to a divisor value of 16.
Figure 11. PWM Clock Divider
7.3.5 PWM Synchronization
Upon power-up, the TCNT counter is reset to 0. The TCNT counter is clocked by the internal PWM clock. In
order to correctly synchronize multiple TPS92661 devices on the same network, two conditions must be met:
All TPS92661 devices must be clocked by the same clock on the CLK terminal.
All TPS92661 devices must be programmed with the same PWM clock dividers (PCKDIV).
Assuming that these conditions are met, the TPS92661 devices may be synchronized by either of two methods:
1. As shown in Figure 12, the TPS92661 device includes a synchronization input/output (SYNC) and a
synchronization master bit (SCMAST) in the system configuration register (SYSCFG). If SCMAST is set to 1,
the TPS92661 device drives the SYNC terminal. The TPS92661 device generates a high pulse that is one-
half of a PWM period on SYNC when TCNT and the PWM clock divider are about to roll over to 0. This
SYNC signal can be fed to other TPS92661 devices. In other words, either the MCU can drive SYNC, or only
one TPS92661 device should have SCMAST set to 1. The rest of the TPS92661 devices on the network
must have SCMAST set to 0. If SCMAST is set to 0 (the default value), a low-to-high transition on SYNC at
least one CLK cycle resets both TCNT and the PWM clock divider to 0 after internally synchronizing to the
rising edge of CLK. SYNC is a feed-through signal that may be tied to the next TPS92661 device in order to
synchronize multiple TPS92661 devices with respect to each other.
NOTE
In order to prevent bus contention, ensure that the network design includes only one
synchronization master.

2. The TCNT counter and PWM clock divider can both be reset to 0 at any time by issuing a broadcast write
synchronization command. Due to UART bit sampling variability, the synchronization is guaranteed to be
within only 16 CLK cycles between TPS92661 devices.
Figure 12. PWM Synchronization
Figure 13 and Figure 14 show an example of two non-synchronized TPS92661 devices and two synchronized
devices respectively. In this example all twelve channels on each device are programmed with LEDON = 0 and
LEDOFF = 128. In the non-synchronized example TCNT = 0 occurs at two different places in time. By using the
SYNC function, TCNT = 0 occurs simultaneously for both devices.

7.3.6 Switch Slew Control
The gate drive control of each series switch slows the rate of change of current through the device. This control
eases EMI requirements and aids in the system operation. The switching transition controls the current through
the switch at each edge to approximately 800 mA/2 µs. The internal circuitry of the device controls the slew rate.
The user cannot change the slew rate. The rise and fall slew rates are matched to ensure accurate
representation of the PWM duty cycle. These slew rates assume no LED string capacitance.
Figure 15. TPS92661 Slew Rate Control
7.3.7 Effect of Phase Shifting LED Duty Cycles
Figure 16 and Figure 17 show the effective system input current (CH4, green trace) and V(LED12-LED0) string
voltage (CH1, blue trace) for various phase shift settings. The results illustrate the advantages of adjusting the
phase shift value to minimize the variation in input current. Figure 16 illustrates a zero phase shift condition by
setting all twelve LEDxON values to zero and all twelve LEDxOFF values to 128. Figure 17 illustrates optimal
phase shifting where all twelve LEDxON values are spaced by a count of 85 (0, 85, 170, 235, ...). The input
current variation is greatly reduced with optimal phase shifting as all twelve channels do not draw current from
the input simultaneously. This reduces demands on the energy storage capacitance at the system input.

Feature Description (continued)
In the event of an OPEN LED failure, an internal comparator monitors the drain-to-source voltage of the internal
switch. If the voltage exceeds VTH-O (typical 6 V) the device overrides the switch-off signal and turns on the
switch. This action maintains current flow in the rest of the LED string in the presence of a faulty or damaged
LED and protects the internal switch. The internal latch holds this state until a subsequent on and off cycle at
which time the switch attempts to turn off again, and the condition is re-evaluated. The protection circuit also sets
the corresponding bit in the FAULT register described in the Diagnostic Registers section . The controller can poll
this register to determine whether a fault has occurred.
The microcontroller can clear the fault bit in the register by writing it to zero. If the fault is still present the
hardware will set the bit back to one at the next sample point. This feature allows the microcontroller to perform
multiple checks of the LED fault so that false LED faults can be filtered via software.
Similar to LED open detection, an LED short is detected via monitoring the drain-to-source voltage of the internal
switch. If the voltage does not exceed the VTH-S threshold by the end of the PWM cycle, the same fault register
bit is set. Both short and open cases are handled by the same register as each case has the equivalent
outcome, which is that the channel is bypassed. (see Figure 18)

7.3.8.1 Fault Reporting and Timing
Fault detection and protection occur immediately and are independent of any internal clock. The device detects
an overvoltage condition when the channel voltage rises to the OVP (overvoltage protection) comparator
threshold. The channel switch is then latched ON with a delay of approximately 50 ns (typical). This detection
generates a fault signal that is sent to the internal fault register when TCNT = LEDxOFF where it can be polled
by the user. Similarly, the short detection fault signal is sent with the same timing. The Diagnostic Registers are
updated in a maximum time of one full PWM period (a PWM count of 1024). Due to internal propagation delays
the LED On-time count must conform to Equation 2 for accurate fault reporting. For typical applications this may
require fault reporting to be ignored at duty cycles less than 1%.

7.3.8.1.1 LED Open Fault Detect Timing Example
In an LED open event, 12 LEDs are being turned on sequentially, creating the staircase waveform as shown in
Figure 20. At approximately time = 280 µs, LED6 is commanded to turn on but it is open. The TPS92661 device
fault circuit immediately clamps the node by turning the channel switch ON. As the LEDs in the string are turned
off, the previously open LED remains shorted for that cycle as the system has detected the fault and forced the
switch to stay on. Other channels continue to operate normally.

Figure 20. LED Open Detection and Protection
7.3.9 Glitch-Free Operation
To help eliminate glitches in the LED current during register updates, the TPS92661 device implements the
atomic multi-byte writes function and the synchronous updates function.
7.3.9.1 Atomic Multi-Byte Writes
Because the LEDxON and LEDxOFF registers are 10-bits wide and span across multiple bytes, there is a
chance that during the time between the serial transmission of the lower eight bits and the upper two bits the
resulting register value is wrong. To overcome this problem, the communications protocol provides for atomic
multi-byte writes. This function updates all of the desired registers at one time, only after receiving an entire
transaction frame. For example, only after the entire nine-byte transaction frame has been successfully received,
does the device issue a write command to registers 00H-04H (which represent the LED1ON, LED2ON, LED3ON
and LED4ON registers) and transfers it to the final registers. This transfer has the additional benefit of updating
the final registers only if the cyclical redundancy check (CRC) for the transaction frame is correct.
7.3.9.2 Synchronous Updates
Serial communications are asynchronous to the TCNT period. The device can write LEDxON and LEDxOFF with
any value from 0x000 to 0x3FF at any time within the TCNT period. Consider a situation where there are no
timing restrictions on updating the final registers. When the device receives a new LEDxOFF value while the
corresponding LED is on and TCNT is already greater than the new LEDxOFF value, the LED remains on until it
reaches the LEDxOFF value in the next TCNT period. This can appear as a glitch in LED light output.
To overcome this issue, the device writes a new value LEDxOFF and stores it in a temporary register. The
device updates the final register only after TCNT reaches the next LEDxON register value. The converse is true
for write commands to a particular LEDxON. In that case, the device updates the final register only after TCNT
reaches the next LEDxOFF value. This sequence allows the device to update the LEDxOFF registers at the
corresponding LED turn-on time and update the LEDxON registers at the corresponding LED turn-off time.
When LEDxON and LEDxOFF are both set to the same value, the device interprets the setting as an LED off
condition. This is equivalent to clearing the ENON bit for that particular LED. The next time TCNT reaches the
common LEDxON and LEDxOFF value, the device ignores LEDxON and the LED turns off (if it was on) and
remains off until the device writes LEDxON and/or LEDxOFF and updates each with a different value. More
specifically, the LEDOFF comparison takes precedence over the LEDON comparison. Figure 21 illustrates an
update example. Case (1) shows the resulting single PWM cycle on time that would occur if the writing of the
registers were not handled through a temporary register. Case (2) shows the functionality of the TPS92661,
where the register update is controlled, eliminating a false conduction cycle.

Figure 21. Glitch-Free LED Dimming Operation
7.3.9.2.1 LEDxON = LEDxOFF Boundary Condition
The synchronous update method removes a large majority of glitches that could be caused in the light output, but
one case should be considered. The reason is based on the synchronous update technique and can occur when
reducing the PWM duty cycle to zero. If the duty cycle is controlled by the LEDxOFF time, the LEDxON count is
fixed each cycle. To dim, the LEDxOFF count gradually reduces. Because of the way the LEDx ON/OFF updates
occur, a glitch can occur at the point when LEDxON = LEDxOFF causing the LED to remain on for a single cycle.
The recommended method to turn a channel fully off is to avoid the implementation of LEDxON = LEDxOFF and
use the corresponding ENON bit in the Enable Register for that channel. For example, to dim a given channel to
zero duty cycle: LEDxOFF reduces to LEDxON+1, then sets that channel's ENON bit to 0.
7.3.10 Internal Oscillator and Watchdog Timers
The TPS92661 device includes two watchdog timers: a Clock Watchdog Timer and a Communications Watchdog
Timer. The clock watchdog timer operates using a free-running internal oscillator. The communications watchdog
timer operates using the incoming CLK signal. Both watchdog timers only operate when enabled after power-up
by writing their respective enable bits to a 1 in the SYSCFG register (CKWEN for the clock watchdog timer and
CMWEN for the communications watchdog timer). The Default LED State Register (DEFLED) determines which
state the LEDs are placed in during a watchdog timeout period. (see the Default LED State Register (DEFLED) )
section for details.
The Figure 22 shows the subsequent state flow after a watchdog timer limit is reached.

Figure 22. Watchdog Timer Overflow Flow Chart
7.3.10.1 Clock Watchdog Timer
If the external CLK input stops toggling for 32 internal oscillator cycles ( approximately 14 µs, typical) the clock
watchdog timer times out and all of the LEDs are turned on or off according to the programmed values in the
DEFLED register. They remain in that state until CLK begins toggling again. During this time, the device does not
receive or transmit UART communications. The device does not reset the internal registers in the event of clock
loss, and the LEDs begin turning on and off according to their LEDxON/LEDxOFF register settings only when the
clock returns. If the clock watchdog timer is not enabled the TPS92661 is capable of operating at frequencies
down to 0 Hz.

Similarly, if the CLK remains running but the device receives no transaction with a correct CRC for a period of
222 CLK cycles, the communications watchdog timer times out and the device sets the LEDs to the state defined
in the DEFLED register. Only after a valid UART command has been received with a correct CRC do normal
PWM duty cycles resume on the LED outputs.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The TPS92661 device may be configured and controlled using a MCU connected via a standard serial UART. Up
to eight devices may be connected to the same UART to form a network.
7.4.1 Digital Interface Connections
7.4.1.1 Address (ADR0, ADR1, and ADR2 Pins)
The address pins should be tied to VIN or GND to set the address of the TPS92661. Up to eight TPS92661s
can exist on the same network. See Table 2 for a summary of device address configurations. The address is
actively decoded and is never latched.
7.4.1.2 Clock (CLK Pin)
The CLK pin is the input for the primary system clock. It serves as the time basis for both the UART, as well as
the LED PWM hardware. The device functions with a clock input as high as 16 MHz. The clock rate should be
selected based on the desired UART bit rate. CLOCK can be provided by the PWM peripheral of the master
microcontroller, or by a local oscillator. All TPS92661s on the same network should share the same clock.
7.4.1.3 Internal Charge Pump (CPP Pin)
The CPP pin functions as the output of the internal charge pump. The device uses the charge pump voltage as
the gate drive voltage for the internal floating switches. Bypass the CPP pin to the LED12 pin with a capacitor
with a value of at least 0.1 µF.
7.4.1.4 Enable (EN Pin)
The ENABLE pin is an active-high enable signal for the TPS92661 device. When driven low, it resets all internal
switches, state machines, and registers to their default states. The reset state of the switches is closed, and
registers are reset (see Table 7). The managing microcontroller can actively drive this pin. Alternatively tie this
pin to VCC or VIN to enable the device at power-up. The EN pin input has internal protections against charge
injection and requires no series resistor when tied to one of the local power rails.
7.4.1.5 GND Pin
Proper operation of the TPS92661 device requires that all GND pins MUST be tied to system ground.
7.4.1.6 Receive (RX Pin)
The RX pin is the TPS92661 UART input. It should be connected to the UART Tx pin of the MCU, as well as the
other TPS92661 RX pins on the network. The bit rate of data transmitted on this pin should be at CLOCK / 16,
and is fixed at that bit rate.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
7.4.1.7 Synchronization (SYNC Pin)
The SYNC pin synchronizes the internal PWM counter of the TPS92661 device. At reset, the SYNC pin acts as
an input, and a low-to-high pulse on this pin resets the TCNT register to 0x000. When an external microcontroller
drives this pin, the pulse should be generated at the LED PWM frequency. To calculate this frequency, use
Equation 3.
fPWM = CLOCK / Programmed Divisor / 1024 (3)
Writing a ‘1’ to the SCMAST bit in the SYSCFG register programs the SYNC pin to function as an output.
Establish only one TPS92261 device as the master if the application requires this output configuration. To
prevent contention on the SYNC line configure only one SYNC master (driver) in the system at a time. The
SYNC pin is internally pulled down and can remain unconnected if it is not used.
7.4.1.8 Transmit (TX Pin)
The TX pin is the UART output of the TPS92661 device. Connected the TX pin to the microcontroller UART RX
pin. The bit rate of data transmitted on this pin is fCLK/16, and is fixed at that bit rate. Connect all TX pins on each
TPS92661 device that are on the same network. Connect a single, 100-kΩpull-up resistor from TX to VCC.
Because the TX pin is a tri-state output, an external pull-up resistor is required to avoid triggering false start
conditions at the microcontroller UART.
7.4.1.9 Primary Power Supply (VIN Pin)
The VIN pin is the primary power supply input for the TPS92661 device. Connect the VIN pin to a nominally 5-V
supply, and include a bypass capacitor nearby with a value of at least 0.1-µF.
7.4.1.10 On-Board 3.3-V Supply (VCC Pin)
The VCC pin is the input for the positive rail of the internal digital I/Os. See the Internal Regulator section for
configuration guidelines.
7.4.2 Internal Pin-to-Pin Resistance
There are pin pairs for each digital I/O on the TPS92661 device. This allows for easy routing between multiple
devices on a single sided PCB. To help estimate the voltage drop across the pin-to-pin connection, see
Figure 26.
Figure 25. Pin-to-Pin Internal Resistance Figure 26. Pin-to-Pin Cross-Device Resistance
7.4.3 UART Physical Layer
The microcontroller unit UART communicates with the TPS92661 device using serial TTL signaling. The TX and
RX lines are connected to the TPS92661 device as shown in Figure 27. The pairs of TX and RX pins on the
TPS92661 device are feed-through pins, and either pin may be used to connect the TPS92661 device to the
network.

A tri-state buffer drives the TX output. In order to prevent false START bit detection by the microcontroller unit
when a TPS92661 device releases the bus, place an external, 100-kΩpull-up resistor on the RX input return line
of the microcontroller unit.

7.4.4 UART Clock and Baudrate
The UART operates with eight data bits, one stop bit and no parity (8 1). Figure 28 shows the waveform for an
individual byte transfer on the TTL UART.
Figure 28. UART 8 1 Signaling
A logic “1” state occurs when the device drives the line to the VCC voltage. A logic “0” state occurs when the
device drives the line to system ground. The line remains in the high/logic “1” state when idle. Figure 29 and
Figure 30 illustrate sending actual data bytes and are intended to represent what an actual UART waveform
displays on an oscilloscope or logic analyzer.
Figure 29. UART Sending 0xC5 Byte (1100 0101)
Figure 30. UART Sending 0x26 Byte (0010 0110)
The baud rate is based on the CLOCK input and is one-sixteenth of the CLOCK input frequency (see Table 1 for
some examples). The UART uses 16× oversampling on the incoming asynchronous RX signal.

Set the master microcontroller unit to support the same baud rate as is defined by the input CLOCK frequency.
7.4.5 UART Communications Reset
The microcontroller unit can reset the device UART and protocol state machine by holding the RX input low for a
period of at least 12 bit times (16 × 12 CLK periods). This period signifies a break in communications and causes
the TPS92661 devices on the network to reset to a known-good state for receiving the next command frame. A
communications reset should never be issued while the device is transmitting data.
NOTE
A communications reset does not reset the registers and does not halt normal LED PWM
operation.
7.4.6 UART Device Addressing
Connecting terminals ADR2, ADR1, and ADR0 to GND or VCC sets the device address for each TPS92661
device. This allows up to eight different devices (addressable (0h to 7h)) for a total of 8 × 12 = 96 LEDs per
array. See Table 2 for device address configuration.

7.4.7 UART Communications Protocol
The UART communication process uses a command/response protocol mastered by the MCU to write and read
the registers on each TPS92661 device. This means that the TPS92661 device never initiates traffic onto the
network. The protocol maps the registers into an address space on each device. All of the registers are read-
write (R/W). See the Registers section for a register list.
The MCU uses the protocol to initiate a communication transaction by sending a command frame. This command
frame addresses either one TPS92661 device directly or broadcasts to all TPS92661 devices on the network.
This addressing may cause a response frame to be sent back from the slave TPS92661 device depending on
the command type of the command frame. There are three types of command frames:
Single Device Write from MCU to a specific TPS92661 device (1, 2, 5, 10 or 15 bytes of data)
Single Device Read from MCU to a specific TPS92661 device (1, 2, 5, 10 or 15 bytes of data)
Broadcast Write from the MCU to all TPS92661 devices (0, 1, 2, 5, 10 or 15 bytes of data)
There is only one response frame type. An addressed slave following a ‘Single Device Read’ command from the
master MCU sends his frame type.
All command and response frames are multi-byte and the total number of transmitted bytes depends on the
specific command type being communicated.

7.4.10 Register Address
The protocol allows 1, 2, 5, 10 or 15 successive register locations from the addressed register to be written by a
single command frame. The register address byte identifies the first TPS92661 device register being written or
read, as described in the Register Map section.
7.4.11 Data Bytes
The frame initialization byte specifies the number of data bytes to be included in the frame.
7.4.12 CRC Bytes
CRC-16-IBM calculates the CRC bytes. The CRC bytes allow detection of errors within the transaction frame.
The device increments the CRC Error Count Register (CERRCNT) each time a CRC error occurs (see Register
Map for details).
7.4.13 Registers
The registers in the TPS92661 device contain programmed information and operating status. During the power-
up period, the TPS92661 device resets the registers to the default values as listed below. Register addresses
marked RESERVED or not shown in the register map may be written with any value but always returns a 0.
7.4.13.1 LED ON Registers
The device stores the LED ON registers (LEDxON) for each individual LED with 10-bit resolution and organizes
them as groups of five bytes for every four LEDs. This organization creates a total of 15 LED ON registers for the
string of 12 LEDs. The address range used for these registers is 00h to 0Eh. Refer to Table 7 for complete list of
LED ON registers.

04h LED1_4ONH LED4ON[9:8] LED3ON[9:8] LED2ON[9:8] LED1ON[9:8] 00000000
LEDxON[9:0] defines the count value within the 10-bit TCNT period when bypass switch x should be
opened to turn LEDx on (x = 1 to 12).
7.4.13.2 LED OFF Registers
The device stores the LED OFF registers (LEDxOFF) for each individual LED with 10-bit resolution and
organizes them as groups of five bytes for every four LEDs. This organization creates a total of 15 LED OFF
registers for the string of 12 LEDs. The address range used for these registers is 20h to 2Eh. Refer to Table 7 for
complete list of LED OFF registers.

LEDxOFF[9:0] defines the count value within the 10-bit TCNT period when bypass switch x should be
closed to turn LEDx off (x = 1 to 12).
7.4.13.3 Alternate LED On/Off Registers
In the low address space starting at 00h that is defined above, all of the LEDxOFF registers follow all of the
LEDxON registers. The higher address space starting at 40h maps the LEDxON and LEDxOFF pairs together so
that the device requires a write of only 10 data bytes to update both the on and the off times for a given set of
four LEDs. The registers that exist at addresses {40h-5Dh} are an alias for the registers that exist at addresses
{0h-0Eh, 20h-2Eh}. In other words, a write to the register at address 00h affects the register contents at address
40h, and vice versa.
7.4.13.4 Enable Registers
The ENABLE registers (ENON and ENOFF) determine whether a particular LEDxON or LEDxOFF value is
enabled. In other words, an LED turns on only when TCNT reaches LEDxON if the corresponding ENON bit is
set. Conversely, an LED turns off only when TCNT reaches LEDxOFF if the corresponding ENOFF bit is set. In
this way, LEDs may be turned on fully, turned off fully, or modulated at a given duty cycle by programming the
appropriate ENON and ENOFF register bits.

7.4.13.5 Control Registers
The control registers allow control and monitoring of several functions. The control registers occupy addresses
C0h through C5h.
7.4.13.5.1 PWM Clock Divider Register (PCKDIV)
ADDR REGISTER D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 DEFAULT
C0h PCKDIV RSVD RSVD DDEC[1:0] RSVD DPWR2[2:0] 00000011
DPWR2[2:0]: This 3-bit value sets the power-of-2 divider for the incoming CLK signal before sending it to
the decimal divider. Power-of-2 divider mapping:
DPWR2[2:0] Divide by:
0 2
1 4
2 8
3 16
4 32
5 64
6 reserved(1)
7 reserved(1)
The default value of DPWR2 is 3. This sets the initial power-of-2 divider to divide-by-16 at reset.
DDEC[1:0]: This 2-bit value sets the decimal divider for the internal signal coming from the power-of-2
divider. Decimal divider mapping:
DDEC1:0] Divide by:
0 1
1 3
2 5
3 reserved(1)
The default value of DDEC is 0. This sets the initial decimal divider to divide-by-1 at reset. Using the two serially
connected dividers in combination, clock dividers of various values are possible.
(1) If any of the reserved values are written to DPWR2[2:0] or DDEC[1:0], the PWM clock divider is set to
divide-by-16, regardless of any other settings.
PWM Clock Divider
Examples:
DPWR2[2:0] = 0
DDEC[1:0] = 0
PWM Clock = CLK / 2
DPWR2[2:0] = 1
DDEC[1:0] = 2
PWM Clock = CLK / 20

ADDR REGISTER D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 DEFAULT
C1h SYSCFG RESERVED CKWEN CMWEN SCMAST PWR 00000000
PWR: This bit is reset to 0 upon power-up or EN low. It may be written to a 1 by the micro-controller
(MCU). Reading this bit allows the MCU to detect when there has been a power cycle.
0 = A power cycle or EN low has occurred since last write to a 1
1 = No power cycle or EN low has occurred since the last write to a ‘1’
SCMAST: The Synchronization Master bit determines whether the TPS92661 device is a synchronization
master or not. There should be only ONE Sync Master in the system.
0 = Slave. A high input value on SYNC resets TCNT to 0.
1 = Master. The TPS92661 device generates a high pulse one CLK cycle
long on SYNC when TCNT = 1023 and the PWM clock divider is about to
roll over. SYNC may be connected to the next TPS92661 device in order
to synchronize multiple TPS92661 devices with respect to each other.
CMWEN: Communications Watchdog Timer Enable.
0 = Communications watchdog timer disabled
1 = Communications watchdog timer enabled
CKWEN: Clock Watchdog Timer Enable

7.4.13.8 Diagnostic Registers
The diagnostic registers hold the results of various faults and status flags for the system. The diagnostic registers
exist in the address range E0h to E2h.
ADDR REGISTER D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 DEFAULT
E0h FAULTL FAULT[8:1] 00000000
E1h FAULTH RESERVED FAULT[12:9] 00000000
E2h CERRCNT CERRCNT[7:0] 00000000
FAULT[12:1]: Fault Register
0 = an LED fault has not occurred
1 = an LED fault has occurred
The LED open and short fault detection circuitry is sampled just before the corresponding bypass switch
is closed. If a fault exists at this time instant, a 1 is latched into the associated FAULT register bit. The
FAULT register bits must be cleared manually by writing them back to 0. If an LED fault condition still
exists at the next PWM period, the device immediately resets the corresponding FAULT register bit to a
1. Writing the FAULT register bits to 1 has no effect.
CERRCNT[7:0]: CRC Error Count Register
This register value is incremented each time a CRC error is received. This register may be read by the
MCU and then written back to 0 to clear the count. The CERRCNT value saturates at FFh; it does not
wrap back to 0 when it reaches FFh. The CERRCNT register is not automatically cleared when a
communications reset is received. It must be cleared manually by writing it back to 0. Note that the
CERRCNT register can be written to any 8-bit value. This is intended for diagnostic purposes.

7.5.3 CRC Calculation Programming Examples
The C function below shows an example of how to generate the CRC bytes correctly for a transmission to the
TPS92661 devices:
Uint16 crc_16_ibm(Uint8 *buf, Uint8 len)
{Uint16 crc = 0;
Uint16 I;
while (len--){
crc ^= *buf++;
for (I = 0; I < 8; I++){
crc = (crc >> 1) ^ ((crc & 1) ? 0xa001 : 0);
}
}
return crc;
}
The CRC is transmitted LSByte first to/from the TPS92661 device.
Upon reading data from the TPS92661 device, the MCU should calculate and compare the CRC to determine
whether valid data was received.
NOTE
The calculated CRC bytes must be bit-reversed before comparison to the received CRC
bytes
bool is_crc_valid(Uint8 *rx_buf, Uint8 crc_start)
{Uint16 crc_calc; // Calculated CRC
Uint8 crc_msb, crc_lsb; // Individual bytes of calculated CRC
// Calculate the CRC based on bytes received
crc_calc = crc_16_ibm(rx_buf, crc_start);
crc_lsb = (crc_calc & 0x00FF);
crc_msb = ((crc_calc >> 8) & 0x00FF);
// Perform the bit reversal within each byte
crc_msb = reverse_byte(crc_msb);
crc_lsb = reverse_byte(crc_lsb);
// Do they match?
if((*(rx_buf + crc_start) == crc_lsb) && (*(rx_buf + crc_start + 1) == crc_msb)){
return TRUE;
}
else{
return FALSE;
}
}
One way to perform the bit reversal is shown in the following C code:
Uint8 reverse_byte(Uint8 byte)
{
// First, swap the nibbles
byte = (((byte & 0xF0) >> 4)| | ((byte & 0x0F) << 4));
// Then, swap bit pairs
byte = (((byte & 0xCC) >> 2) | ((byte & 0x33) << 2));
// Finally, swap adjacent bits
byte = (((byte & 0xAA) >> 1) | ((byte & 0x55) << 1));
// We should now be reversed (bit 0 <--> bit 7, bit 1 <--> bit 6, etc.)
return byte;
7.5.4 Code Examples to Implement Register Reads/Writes
The C functions below show examples of how to code a single register write and single register read. It is
recommended that the user get this code running first and then expand to some of the other commands and
multi-byte reads and writes.
Write Example:
void lmm_wr_1_reg(Uint8 lmm, Uint8 regaddr, Uint8 data)
{Uint8 TxBuf[5];

8 Application and Implementation
8.1 Applications Information
The TPS92661 is capable of shunting any combination of 12 series LEDs at high frequency and at variable duty
cycles. This type of application requires a high bandwidth current source. The TPS92661 was developed using a
high-side sensing hysteretic buck current source and it is this type that is recommended to power the LED
channels. boost and/or buck-boost inputs may also be used, but makes the implementation more complicated
and lower performance.
8.1.1 Guidelines For Current Source
Operate at a switching frequency at least 250 times the TPS92661 PWM frequency. A switching frequency
between 500 times the PWM frequency and 2000 times the PWM frequency is recommended.
Operate current source in CCM (continuous conduction mode).
Minimize capacitance on each LED channel (capacitance between LED0 and LED12) to avoid excessive over
and undershoot when dimming.
Monitor the current source output current during dimming to ensure the source is staying close to its DC set-
point level.
Follow the Layout Guidelines.
8.2 Design Examples
This section offers two design examples. Each helps illustrate how the thermal limitations of a design can vary
depending on overall operating conditions and how the overall system temperature limitations directly affect the
device current rating for a given design. These temperature limitations must be considered on a case-by-case
basis.
8.2.1 12 LED, 1.1-A Application
Step 1. LED Board Requirements
Examine the requirements of the LED load board, assuming the worst case condition: LEDs on continuously.
This example assumes a worst case metal core PCB temperature of 125°C to adequately protect the LEDs.
Calculate the power required to be dissipated by the LED load board alone using Equation 4.
PLED_LOAD = ILED × VLED × n = 1.1 A × 3.33 V × 12 = 43.956 W 44 W
where
n is the number of LEDs (4)
Step 2. Estimate Device Power Dissipation
Use Figure 1 to estimate the power dissipation in the TPS92661 device. Assuming a 6-MHz clock and a 146-Hz
PWM frequency at 125°C, 4.2 mA at a 5.5-V VCC. The power dissipation calculation is shown in Equation 5.
PTPS92661_CONTROL = 4.2 mA × 5.5 V 23 mW. (5)
This value is very small compared to the net power required to be dissipated by the LED load and can be
neglected.
Step 3. Estimate Switch Power Dissipation
Calculate the worst case power dissipated in the TPS92661 switches. Using the worst case RALL(on) of 3400 mΩ
for Equation 6.
PTPS92661_SWITCHES = (1.12 A)2× 3400 mΩ= 4.114 W (6)

Design Examples (continued)
Step 4. Calculate the Temperature Rise
The LED load board controls temperature to a maximum of 125°C. Solder the TPS92661 device to the LED
board to create a very good thermal connection. Using the TPS92661 θJB measurement of 6.1 °C/W, can
calculate the temperature rise between the TPS92661 thermal pad and the junction temperature using
Equation 7.
TJ= TBOARD(max) + TRISE = 125°C + (4.114 × 6.1) 150°C. (7)
This is the maximum allowable junction temperature. Any time a TPS92661 internal switch is active, the net
power dissipated by the LED load board is reduced.
A properly designed LED load board inherently supports the additional power dissipation of the TPS92661
device. In this example, if all of the TPS92661 internal switches are on, the LED load board thermal loading
reduces from 44 W to 4.114 W.
8.2.2 6 LED, 1.5-A Application
The TPS92661 can be used for LED loads from 1 to 12 LEDs. When configuring for connections having fewer
than 12 LEDs, the LEDs should be connected as shown in Figure 34.
Figure 34. TPS92661 Connection with 6 LEDs
Step 1. Calculate the LED Load Power
As described in the 12 LED, 1.1-A Application section example, the LED load itself drives the heat sink design.
Assume the LED load board does not reach a temperature beyond what has been considered for the LEDs. In
this case assume the design ensures a maximum heat sink temperature of 90°C for the LED load power
calculated in Equation 8.
PLED_LOAD = ILED× VLED × n = 1.5 A × 3.33 V × 6 30 W (max)
where
n is the number of LEDs (8)
Step 2. Estimate the Power Dissipation
Using Figure 3 estimate the power dissipation of the TPS92661 device. Assuming a 8.57-MHz clock and a 523-
Hz PWM frequency at 125°C read 3 mA at a 5.5-V VCC. This amount of power is so low that it can be
disregarded.
Step 3. Calculate the Worst Case Switches Power Dissipation
Calculate the maximum all switches on-resistance (RALL(on)(MAX)) value for each of the 6 switches that are in use.
Assume the other 6 switches are shorted externally.
PTPS92661_SWITCHES = (1.5 A)2× RALL(on)(MAX) × (n/12) = (1.5 A)2× 3400 mΩ× (6/12) = 3.825 W
where
n is the number of LEDs (9)

Step 4. Calculate the Temperature Rise
The LED load board controls temperature to a maximum of 90°C. Solder the TPS92661 device to the LED board
to create a very good thermal connection. Using the TPS92661 θJB measurement of 6.1 °C/W, can calculate the
temperature rise between the TPS92661 thermal pad and the junction temperature using
TJ= TBOARD(max) + TRISE = 90°C + (3.825 × 6.1) 113°C (10)
This temperature is well within the TPS92661 operating junction temperature range to provide exceptional
performance.
9 Power Supply Recommendations
9.1 General Recommendations
The TPS92661 requires a 5-V supply to power the charge pump, internal logic and references. This rail
generates a 3.3-V supply which can be used for the digital communications as outlined in the Internal Regulator
section. The TPS92661 device is not compatible with logic levels lower then 3.3 V or greater than 5 V. A
separate, high-power supply drives the LED string, as discussed in the LED Fault Detection and Protection
section.
9.2 Internal Regulator
The VCC pin is the output node of the on-board 3.3-V LDO. The VCC pin also acts as the positive voltage rail for
the device digital I/Os. If the TPS92661 device is used with a microcontroller with 3.3-V I/Os, then place an
output capacitor with a value of at least 0.1 µF at the pin for the internal LDO. Due to the internal linear regulator,
an external 3.3-V supply is not required.
If the TPS92661 device is used with 5-V microcontrollers, then the VCC pin MUST be tied to the 5-V VIN pin.
This connection overrides the internal LDO and allows the digital I/Os to signal at 5 V rather than 3.3 V.
In the rare case that the digital signaling exists at a voltage greater than 3.6 V, but less than 4.5 V, then the VCC
pin should be connected to the same voltage as the MCU I/O voltage.

9.3 Power Up and Reset
When VIN is greater than VIN-UVT , all bypass switches are initially on (LEDs off) and the LEDs remain off until the
device is programmed with the corresponding LED and ENABLE registers. After the registers are programmed,
the TPS92661 device modulates the LEDs using the divided-down CLK input as the PWM clock. VIN must be
greater than VIN-UVT prior to sourcing current through the LED string in order to ensure a controlled start-up.
The EN input acts as an active-low reset signal for the TPS92661 device. If EN = 0, the TPS92661 device resets
to the same state as if a power cycle had occurred. All registers are reset to default values and all of the bypass
switches are turned on (LEDs off). Once the device emerges from the reset state by setting EN high, the
registers must be programmed in order for the device to begin normal operation.
9.4 VIN Power Consumption
Power consumption increases with increased clock frequency, with VIN voltage and with temperature. It is
always best to select the lowest VIN and clock frequency the system can tolerate. Guidelines for power drawn by
the device from VIN are provided in the Typical Characteristics section.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
The final configuration of the LED matrix varies between applications and balances heat dissipation with light
output performance. Layout considerations for passive components are simple; place the VCC and VIN
decoupling capacitors close to the device and short the traces to the CPP pin capacitor. The bigger challenge is
to develop a careful layout plan that efficiently routes the current source for the LED strings.
The communication connections have been designed for ease of routing on a single-sided, metal core board.
Each connection has a parallel connection on the opposite side of the device, allowing multiple devices to use a
daisy chain configuration, easing routing requirements.

information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3) MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4) There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5) Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6) Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
