TPS929240-Q1 Automotive LED and OLED Driver
Texas Instruments' 24-channel FlexWire™ interface driver is designed to address individual control for LED strings
Texas Instruments' TPS929240-Q1 is a 24-channel, 40 V high-side LED driver that controls the 8-bit output current and 12-bit PWM duty cycles. The device meets multiple regulation requirements with LED open-circuit, short-to-ground, and single-LED short-circuit diagnostics. A configurable watchdog automatically sets the FAILSAFE states when the MCU connection is lost. With programmable EEPROM, the driver can flexibly be set for different application scenarios.
With the increasing demand for animation in automotive lighting, LEDs must be controlled independently. LED drivers with digital interfaces are essential to effectively drive pixel-controlled lighting applications. In exterior lighting, multiple lamp functions are located on different PCB boards with off-board wires connected to each other. It is difficult for a traditional single-ended interface to meet the strict EMC requirements. By using an industrial-standard CAN physical layer, the UART-based FlexWire interface of the driver easily achieves long-distance offboard communication without impacting EMC.
