TPS92513HV: How many LED in series can be driven by TPS92513 with 60V input and 500mA current?

Part Number: TPS92513HV
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS92513

 Hello guys,

 One of my customer considering using TPS92513 for their net products.

 They want to know how many LED in series can be byTPS92513 drive with 60V input and 500mA current?

 Could you please give me your reply?

 Your repluy would be much appreciated.

 Best regards,

 Kazuya.

 

  • Hello Kazuya,

    From the datasheet:

    "The TPS92513 is designed to operate up to 100% duty cycle as long as the BOOT to PH voltage is greater than
    at least 2 V. If the BOOT capacitor voltage drops below 2 V, then the BOOT UVLO circuit turns off the MOSFET,
    which allows the BOOT capacitor to be recharged. The current required from the BOOT capacitor to keep the
    MOSFET on is quite low. Therefore, many switching cycles occur before the BOOT capacitor is refreshed. In this
    way, the effective duty cycle of the converter is quite high."

    This part will run near 100% duty cycle, the boot capacitor will just need the switch node to cycle for boot refresh every so often.  This is a buck converter so Vout will need to be slightly lower than Vin.

    If the LED has a Vf of 3.0 volts it would almost support 20 LEDs however there are a lot of considerations such as LED Vf tolerance, thermal (colder generally means higher Vf), etc.

    So in short the output can be almost 60V.

    Best Regards,
