TPS92391: Some question of tps92391

Part Number: TPS92391

Hi team,

1.  Is it set based on the lowest voltage of the LED light string?
2. The FB resistor has two modes: 2-resistor voltage division and 3-resistance voltage division. Based on previous experience, it is recommended to use 3-resistance voltage division when R1 (FB upper side resistor) is less than 200k.
Want to know the reason for this suggestion?
3. When using three resistors to divide the voltage, are there any requirements for the resistance range of the three resistors?

  • Hi Alan,

    I am on a biz trip, will give you feedback tomorrow, thanks for your patience.

  • Hi Patrick,

    Any updates?

  • Hi Alan,

    1. VBOOST_MIN is the minimum Boost adaptive voltage. If this value is set higher than the LED string voltage, the extra voltage will drop on OUTx pins.

    2. If two resistor-divider and less than 200kohm R1 used at the same time, the adaptive voltage range will be limited. If customer doesn't need a wide adaptive range, it is also ok to use two resistor-divider and below 200kohm resistance.

    3. There is no additional requirements except for those that are already listed in datasheet.

  • Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for your help.

    The customer have further question:

    1. VBOOST_MIN is the minimum Boost adaptive voltage. If this value is set higher than the LED string voltage, the extra voltage will drop on OUTx pins.

    The customer didn't understand here. During adaptation, the OUTx pin voltage is between 0.7~0.8V. What does it have to do with VBOOST_MIN?

    The specification book recommends R1/R2 to be between 7 and 15, which converted into VBOOST_MIN voltage is between 9.68V and 19.36V.
    The minimum voltage of our LED light string is 27V. In this case, what is the recommended VBOOST_MIN voltage setting?

    2. The specification sheet mentions that the initial boost voltage is approximately 88% of the minimum to maximum boost voltage.
    If the LED has been turned on before, will it start adaptive adjustment when it is turned on? Or will the voltage continue to rise to 88% before starting to adjust?

  • Hi Alan,

    1. VBOOST_MIN is the minimum output voltage TPS92391 could support. For example, the VBOOST_MIN is 18V, but the LED strings only need 15V, as a result, the Vout will finally be adjusted to ~18V. But if the LED strings need 20V, then the Vout could output 20V.

    2. I don't fully understand this situation, do you mean the IC off and wait for a long time, and then re-start the IC?
