TPS62866: How to design a constant current power solution.

Hale Tan

Part Number: TPS62866

Tool/software:

Hi team,

The customers want to design a constant current output. the input is 3.3V, output is 750mA*8. so I think whether we can use TPS62866 to design a constant current power supply. Any suggestion or reference?

Hi Hale,

This device does not support an application as constant current source.

You may take a look at our LED driver devices to find something for your application: https://www.ti.com/power-management/led-drivers/automotive-led-drivers/products.html#1129=Current%20Source&

Hi Werner,

I think that we can use some system solution to solve this issue. Do you know any reference design？

Hi Hale,

Can you share more details about the application? What are the 8x750mA used for?
