This reference design consists of a high-performance LED controller configured in a boost or buck-boost topology. It uses EMI filtering and a load disconnect FET for high slew rate PWM dimming (see Figure 4). The input voltage range from 8 V to 16 V nominal operation with the capability to run as low as 6 V for warm crank operation. It can operate ss high as 42 V for load dump operation with reduced number of LEDs at output or input voltage transient suppressor since it can exceed the 65 V rating of the TPS92692. This design supports up to 1.25 A of output current and an output power rating of 55 W. The design is optimized to drive seven high beam LEDs and seven low beam LEDs for a total of 14 LED strings at 1.25 A from a typical voltage supply of 13 V. However, multiple combinations of input supplies and LED loads along with external synchronization or PWM can easily be created using this reference design as a starting point. Standard recommended component values (such as the VCC capacitor) are not covered in this section.
