TPS546D24A: Constant Current Configuration

Part Number: TPS546D24A

Is there a way to use the TPS546D24A as a constant current driver? I've been experimenting with the TPS546D24AEVM-2PH. Key features of this device is PMBus configurability, 4x stackable design, very high current capability 40 amps per or 160 amps total.

So could I use this driver for constant current LED control or is there something else that matches these key features?

Thanks! 

  • Hello    !ABrightIdea

    The TPS546D24A was developed to be a stackable voltage dc/dc converter with internal compensation.   I have seen other voltage regulators used to drive LEDs as a constant current regulator.    My intuition says it seems plausible but we have not explored or tested the device as a current driver. 

    My teammate has more experience with the device and will be back in the office soon.

    I am curious of your unique request, what application needs a high current regulator.
