TPS92560: Boost Constant Current getting fried directly after powering up

Hi Jelko,

Please be noticed that when configured in boost topology, the VP pin should be connected to the LED top voltage rail. Please refer to Section 5 Pin Configuration and Functions from the datasheet. (A screenshot is shown below.)

Hi Steven,

the Component Calculator tells me to NC R11 and use a diode for the values I entered:

However, I will try to connect VP to the LED top voltage! Thank you so far.

Best regards,

Hi Jelko,

Please check your LED Forward Voltage.

Below are my results from the component calculator:

Hi Steven,

where do You get that 25.60 V from?

I've got an Osram Duris S10 GW P7LP32.EM-RQRS which has a typical forward voltage of 38 V according to this datasheet:

Hi Jelko,

Sorry, I checked another LED with a similar name.

Please be noticed that the VF of your LED is around 34.2V at 100mA, T_S = 25 °C from the datasheet you mentioned.

Supplement:

Does the TPS92560 function while getting extremely hot? Is the output current regulated as you expected?

Or does it fail while getting extremely hot?

Hi Steven,

I'll try to recalculate the values for my next prototype for 34 V!

My initial thought was the circuit would reach either 38 V or 100 mA as it should be current-regulated.

The LED does not go on. The TPS92560 breaks before I am even able to measure anything. I am planning to connect the next board to a current regulated DC power supply and try to measure something without breaking the next chip..

Hi Jelko,

Got it. Please let me know if you have any update.

BTW, could you share with us what your end equipment is? We can talk through e-mail if needed.

Best Regards,

Steven
