Design Notes
For optimal performance, place the input capacitor, output capacitor, and sense resistor close to the TPS92691 pins. Minimize the loop area of the gate drive path to reduce parasitic inductance and EMI. Use a solid ground plane under the device and connect the exposed thermal pad to the ground plane for heat dissipation. Refer to the TI datasheet for recommended layout guidelines.
The TPS92691 in a 16-HTSSOP package has an exposed thermal pad. Ensure adequate copper area on the PCB to dissipate heat, especially in high-current applications. The thermal resistance depends on the PCB layout; a larger copper area reduces junction temperature. For high ambient temperatures, consider adding thermal vias to improve heat transfer to other layers.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum ratings for VIN and other pins. Ensure the soft-start capacitor is properly sized to prevent inrush current. The COMP pin must be compensated correctly to avoid instability. Use a sense resistor with appropriate power rating to handle the LED current. Verify the switching frequency setting does not cause EMI issues in your application.
Compliance Information
