FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The TPS61181A IC provides highly integrated
solutions for media size LCD backlighting. These
devices have a built-in high efficiency boost regulator
with integrated 1.5A/40V power MOSFET. The six
current sink regulators provide high precision current
regulation and matching. In total, the device can
support up to 60 WLEDs. In addition, the boost output
automatically adjusts its voltage to the WLED forward
voltage to improve efficiency.

The devices support pulse width modulation (PWM)
brightness dimming. During dimming, the WLED
current is turned on/off at the duty cycle and
frequency determined by the PWM signal input to the
DCRTL pin. One potential issue of PWM dimming is
audible noise from the output ceramic capacitors. The
TPS61181A is designed to minimize this output AC

ripple across
a wide dimming duty cycle and
frequency range and therefore, reduce this audible
noise.
Over Voltage Protection
WLED Open/Short Protection
Built-in Soft Start
The TPS61181A provides a driver output for an
external PFET connected between the input and
inductor. During short circuit or over-current
conditions, the IC turns off the external PFET and
disconnects the battery from the WLEDs. The PFET
is also turned off during IC shutdown (thereby giving
"true" shutdown) to prevent any leakage current from
the battery. The device also integrates over-voltage
protection, soft-start and thermal shutdown.
