FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
23  
Four Operational Modes  
The TPS6132x device is based on a high-frequency  
synchronous boost topology with constant current  
sinks to drive up to three white LEDs in parallel  
(445mA/890mA/445mA maximum flash current). The  
extended high-current mode (HC_SEL) allows up  
to 1025mA/2050mA/1025mA flash current out of  
the storage capacitor.  
DC Light and Flashlight  
Voltage Regulated Converter: 3.8V...5.7V  
Standby: 2mA (typ.)  
Storage Capacitor Friendly Solution  
Automatic VF and ESR Calibration  
The high-capacity storage capacitor on the output of  
the boost regulator provides the high-peak flash LED  
current, thereby reducing the peak current demand  
from the battery to a minimum.  
Power-Save Mode for Improved Efficiency at  
Low Output Power, Up to 95% Efficiency  
Output Voltage Remains Regulated When  
Input Voltage Exceeds Nominal Output Voltage  
I2C Compatible Interface up to 3.4Mbits/s  
Dual Wire Camera Module Interface  
Zero Latency Tx-Masking Input  
LED Temperature Monitoring  
Privacy Indicator LED Output  
Integrated LED Safety Timer  
The 2-MHz switching frequency allows the use of  
small and low profile 2.2mH inductors. To optimize  
overall efficiency, the device operates with a 400mV  
LED feedback voltage.  
The TPS6132x device not only operates as a  
regulated current source, but also as a standard  
voltage boost regulator. The device keeps the output  
voltage regulated even when the input voltage  
exceeds the nominal output voltage. The device  
enters power-save mode operation at light load  
currents to maintain high efficiency over the entire  
load current range.  
GPIO/Flash Ready Output  
Total Solution Size of Less Than 25 mm2  
(<1mm height)  
Available in a 20-Pin NanoFree™ (CSP)  
To simplify DC light and flashlight synchronization  
APPLICATIONS  
with the camera module, the device offers  
a
dedicated control interface (STRB0, STRB1) for zero  
latency LED turn-on time.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with  
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.  
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more  
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

(1) Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings  
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating  
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute–maximum–rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.  
(2) All voltage values are with respect to network ground terminal.  
(3) In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may  
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature [TA(max)] is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature [TJ(max)], the  
maximum power dissipation of the device in the application [PD(max)], and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the part/package  
in the application (qJA), as given by the following equation: TA(max) = TJ(max) – (qJA × PD(max)  
)
(4) The human body model is a 100-pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5-kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200-pF  
capacitor discharged directly into each pin.

This is the input voltage pin of the device. Connect directly to the input bypass capacitor.  
This is the output voltage pin of the converter.  
VOUT  
LED1  
LED2  
LED3  
STRB0  
LED return input. This feedback pin regulates the LED current through the internal sense resistor by  
regulating the voltage across it. The regulation operates with typically 400mV (HC_SEL = L) or 400mV  
(HC_SEL = H) dropout voltage. Connect to the cathode of the LEDs.  
I
I
I
LED1/2/3 enable logic input. This pin can be used to enable/disable the high-power LEDs connected to the  
device.  
STRB0 = LOW: LED1, LED2 and LED3 current regulators are turned-off.  
STRB0 = HIGH: LED2, LED2 and LED3 current regulators are active. The LED current level (DC light or  
flashlight current) is defined according to the STRB1 logic level.  
HC_SEL  
B3  
I
Extended high-current mode selection input. This pin must not be left floating and must be terminated.  
HC_SEL = LOW: LED direct drive mode. The power stage is active and the maximum LED currents are  
defined as 445mA/890mA/445mA (ILED1/ILED2/ILED3).  
HC_SEL = HIGH: Energy storage mode. In flash mode, the power stage is either active with reduced  
current capability or disabled. The maximum LED current is defined as 1025mA/2050mA/1025mA  
(ILED1/ILED2/ILED3).  
SCL  
B2  
B1  
D4  
I
Serial interface clock line. This pin must not be left floating and must be terminated.  
SDA  
I/O Serial interface address/data line. This pin must not be left floating and must be terminated.  
GPIO/PG  
I/O This pin can either be configured as a general purpose input/output pin (GPIO) or either as an open-drain  
or a push-pull output to signal when the converters output voltage is within the regulation limits (PG). Per  
default, the pin is configured as an open-drain power-good output.  
TS  
C4  
I/O NTC resistor connection. This pin can be used to monitor the LED temperature. Connect a 220kNTC  
resistor from the TS input to ground. In case this functionality is not desired, the TS input should be tied to  
AVIN or left floating.  
INDLED  
STRB1  
A1  
D3  
O
I
This pin provides a constant current source to drive low VF LEDs. Connect to LED anode.  
LED current level selection input. Pulling this input high disables the DC light watchdog timer.  
STRB1 = LOW: Flash light mode is enabled.  
STRB1 = HIGH: DC light mode is enabled.  
Tx-MASK  
SW  
C3  
I
RF PA synchronization control input.  
C1  
C2  
I/O Inductor connection. Drain of the internal power MOSFET. Connect to the switched side of the inductor.  
SW is high impedance during shutdown.  
BAL  
A3  
O
Balancing output for dual cells super-capacitor. In steady-state operation, this output compensates for  
leakage current mismatch between the cells.  
PGND  
AGND  
D1  
D2  
Power ground. Connect to AGND underneath IC.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
OPERATION  
The TPS6132x family employs a 2MHz fixed on-time, PWM current-mode converter to generate the output  
voltage required to drive up to three high power LEDs in parallel. The device integrates a power stage based on  
an NMOS switch and a synchronous PMOS rectifier. The device also implements a set of linear low-side current  
regulators to control the LED current when the battery voltage is higher than the diode forward voltage.  
A special circuit is applied to disconnect the load from the battery during shutdown of the converter. In  
conventional synchronous rectifier circuits, the back-gate diode of the high-side PMOS is forward biased in  
shutdown and allows current flowing from the battery to the output. This device however uses a special circuit  
which takes the cathode of the back-gate diode of the high-side PMOS and disconnects it from the source when  
the regulator is in shutdown (HC_SEL = L).  
The TPS6132x device cannot only operate as a regulated current source but also as a standard voltage boost  
regulator featuring power-save mode for improved efficiency at light load. Voltage mode operation can be  
enabled/disabled by software control.  
The TPS6132x device also supports storage capacitor on its output (so called energy storage mode). In this  
operating mode (HC_SEL = H), the inductive power stage is used to charge-up the super-capacitor to a user  
selectable value. Once the charge-up is complete, the LEDs can be fired up to 1025mA (LED1 and LED3) and  
2050mA (LED2) without causing a battery overload.  
In general, a boost converter only regulates output voltages which are higher than the input voltage. This device  
operates differently. For example, in the voltage mode operation the device is capable to regulate 4.2V at the  
output from a battery voltage pulsing as high 5.5V. To control these applications properly, a down conversion  
mode is implemented.  
If the input voltage reaches or exceeds the output voltage, the converter changes to a down conversion mode. In  
this mode, the control circuit changes the behavior of the rectifying PMOS. It sets the voltage drop across the  
PMOS as high as needed to regulate the output voltage. This means the power losses in the converter increase.  
This has to be taken into account for thermal consideration.  
In direct drive mode (HC_SEL = L), the power stage is capable of supplying a maximum total current of roughly  
1300 to 1500mA. The TPS6132x provides three constant current inputs, capable of sinking up to 445mA (LED1  
and LED3) and 890mA (LED2) in flashlight mode.  
The TPS6132x integrates an I2C compatible interface allowing transfers up to 3.4Mbits/s. This communication  
interface can be used to set the operating mode (shutdown, constant output current mode vs. constant output  
voltage mode), to control the brightness of the external LED (DC light and flashlight modes), to adjust the output  
voltage (between 3.825V and 5.7V in 125mV steps) or to program the safety timer for instance. For more details,  
refer to the I2C register description section.  
In the TPS6132x device, the DC light and flash can be controlled either by the I2C interface or by the means of  
hardware control signals (STRB0 and STRB1). The maximum duration of the flashlight pulse can be limited by  
means of an internal user programmable safety timer (STIM). To avoid the LEDs to be kept accidentally on in DC  
light mode by software control, the device implements a 13.0s watchdog timer. The DC light watchdog timer can  
be disabled by pulling high the STRB1 signal.

DOWN MODE IN VOLTAGE REGULATION MODE  
In general, a boost converter only regulates output voltages which are higher than the input voltage. The featured  
devices come with the ability to regulate 4.2 V at the output with an input voltage being has high as 5.5V. To  
control these applications properly, a down conversion mode is implemented.  
In voltage regulation mode, if the input voltage reaches or exceeds the output voltage, the converter changes to  
the down-conversion mode. In this mode, the control circuit changes the behavior of the rectifying PMOS. It sets  
the voltage drop across the PMOS as high as needed to regulate the output voltage. This means the power  
losses in the converter increase. This has to be taken into account for thermal consideration. The down  
conversion mode is automatically turned-off as soon as the input voltage falls about 200mV below the output  
voltage.  
For proper operation in down conversion mode the output voltage should not be programmed higher than ca.  
5.3V. Care should be taken not to violate the absolute maximum ratings at the SW pins.  
The TPS6132x device uses a control architecture that allows to “recycle” excessive energy that might be stored  
in the output capacitor. By reversing the operation of the boost power stage, the converter is capable of  
transferring energy from its output back into the input source.  
In high-current mode (HC_SEL = 1), this feature becomes useful to dynamically adjust the output voltage (VOUT  
)
depending on the operating conditions (e.g. +4.95V constant output voltage to support audio applications or  
variable storage capacitor pre-charge voltage, refer to “storage capacitor pre-charge voltage calibration” section).  
Notice that this reverse operating mode can only perform within an output voltage range higher than the input  
supply. For example, if the storage capacitor is initially pre-charged to 4.95V, the input voltage is around 4.1V  
and the target output voltage is set to 3.825V, the converter will only be able to lower the output node down to  
the input level.  
LED HIGH-CURRENT REGULATORS, UNUSED INPUTS  
The TPS6132x device utilizes LED forward voltage sensing circuitry on LED1-3 pins to optimize the power stage  
boost ratio for maximum efficiency. Due to the nature of the sensing circuitry, it is not recommended to leave any  
of the LED1-3 pins unused if the operation has been selected via ENLED[3:1] bits. Leaving LED1-3 pins  
unconnected, whilst the respective ENLEDx bits have been set, will force the control loop into high gain and  
eventually trip the output over-voltage protection.  
The LED1-3 inputs may be connected together to drive one or two LEDs at higher currents. Connecting the  
current sink inputs in parallel does not affect the internal operation of the TPS6132x. For best operation, it is  
recommended to disabled the LED inputs that are not used (refer to ENLED[3:1] bits description).  
To achieve smooth LED current waveforms, the TPS6132x device actively controls the LED current  
ramp-up/down sequence.

POWER-SAVE MODE OPERATION, EFFICIENCY  
The TPS6132x device integrates a power save mode to improve efficiency at light load. In power save mode the  
converter only operates when the output voltage trips below a set threshold voltage. It ramps up the output  
voltage with one or several pulses and goes again into power save mode once the output voltage exceeds the  
set threshold voltage.

The power save mode can be enabled and disabled via the ENPSM bit. In down conversion mode, power save  
mode is always active and the device cannot be forced into fixed frequency operation at light loads.  
The LED sense voltage has a direct effect on the converter’s efficiency. Because the voltage across the low-side  
current regulator does not contribute to the output power (LED brightness), the lower the sense voltage the  
higher the efficiency will be.  
In direct drive mode (HC_SEL = L), the energy is being directly transferred from the battery to the LEDs. The  
integrated current control loop automatically selects the minimum boosting ratio to maintain regulation based on  
the LED forward voltage and current requirements. The low-side current regulators will be dropping the voltage  
difference between the input voltage and the LEDs forward voltage (VF(LED) < VIN). When running in boost mode  
(VF(LED) > VIN), the voltage present at the LED1-3 pins of the low-side current regulators will be typically 400mV  
leading to high power conversion efficiency. Depending on the input voltage and the LEDs forward voltage  
characteristic the converter will show efficiency in the range of about 75% to 90%.  
In high-current mode (HC_SEL = H), the device is only supplying a limited amount of energy directly from the  
battery (i.e. DC light, contribution to flash current or voltage regulation mode). During a flash strobe, the bulk of  
the energy supplied to the LEDs is provided by the reservoir capacitor. The low-side current regulators will be  
typically operating with 400mV headroom voltage. This means the power losses in the device increase and  
special care should be taken for thermal considerations.

MODE OF OPERATION: DC LIGHT AND FLASHLIGHT  
Operation is understood best by referring to the timer block diagram. Depending on the settings of  
MODE_CTRL[1:0] bits the device can enter 4 different operating modes.  
MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 00: The device is in shutdown mode.  
MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 01: The STRB0, STRB1 inputs are disabled. The device is regulating the LED current in  
DC light mode (DCLC bits) regardless of the STRB0, STRB1 inputs and the START_FLASH/TIMER (SFT) bit.  
To avoid device shutdown by DC light safety timeout, MODE_CTRL[1:0] needs to be refreshed within less  
than 13.0s (STRB1 = 0). The DC light watchdog timer can be disabled by pulling high the STRB1 signal.  
MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 10: The STRB0, STRB1 inputs are enabled and the flashlight pulse can either be  
triggered by these synchronization signals or by a software command (START_FLASH/TIMER (SFT) bit,  
STRB0 = 1). The LEDs operation is enabled/disabled according to the STRB0, STRB1 input, the flashlight  
safety timer is activated and the DC light safety timer is disabled.  
MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 11: The device is regulating a constant output voltage according to OV[3:0] bits settings.  
The low-side LED1-3 current regulators are disabled and the LEDs are disconnected from the output. In this  
operating mode, the safety timer is disabled.  
FLASH STROBE IS LEVEL SENSITIVE (STT = 0): LED STROBE FOLLOWS STRB0, 1 INPUTS  
In this mode, the high-power LEDs are driven at the flashlight current level and the safety timer (STIM) is  
running. The maximum duration of the flashlight pulse is defined in the STIM[2:0] register.  
The safety timer is triggered on rising edge and stopped either by a negative logic on the synchronization source  
(STRB0, STRB1 = 0) or by a timeout event (TO bit).

In this mode, the high-power LEDs are driven at the flashlight current level and the safety timer (STIM) is  
running. The duration of the flashlight pulse is defined in the STIM[2:0] register.  
The flashlight strobe is started either by a rising edge on the synchronization source (STRB0 = 1, STRB1 = 0) or  
by a positive transition on the START-FLASH/TIMER (SFT) bit (STRB0 = 1, STRB1 = 0). Once running, the timer  
ignores all kind of triggering signals and only stops after a timeout (TO). START-FLASH/TIMER (SFT) bit is being

CURRENT LIMIT OPERATION  
The current limit circuit employs a valley current sensing scheme. Current limit detection occurs during the off  
time through sensing of the voltage drop across the synchronous rectifier. The detection threshold is user  
selectable via the ILIM bit. The ILIM bit can only be set before the device enters operation (i.e., initial shutdown  
state).  
Figure 56 illustrates the inductor and rectifier current waveforms during current limit operation. The output  
current, IOUT, is the average of the rectifier ripple current waveform. When the load current is increased such  
that the lower peak is above the current limit threshold, the off time is lengthened to allow the current to decrease  
to this threshold before the next on-time begins (so called frequency fold-back mechanism).  
Both the output voltage and the switching frequency are reduced as the power stage of the device operates in a  
constant current mode. The maximum continuous output current (IOUT(CL)), before entering current limit operation,  
can be defined as:

LED FAILURE MODES AND OVER-VOLTAGE PROTECTION  
If a high-power LED fails as a short circuit, the low-side current regulator will limit the maximum output current  
and the HIGH-POWER LED FAILURE (HPLF) flag will be set.  
If a high-power LED fails as an open circuit, the control loop will initially attempt to regulate off of its low-side  
current regulator feedback signal. This will drive VOUT higher. As the open circuited LED will never accept its  
programmed current, VOUT must be voltage-limited by means of a secondary control loop.  
The TPS6132x device limits VOUT according to the over-voltage protection settings (refer to OVP specification). In  
this failure mode, VOUT is either limited to 4.65V (typ.) or 6.0V (typ.) and the HIGH-POWER LED FAILURE  
(HPLF) flag is set.

START-UP SEQUENCE  
To avoid high inrush current during start-up, special care is taken to control the inrush current. When the device  
enables, the internal startup cycle starts with the first step, the pre-charge phase.  
During pre-charge, the rectifying switch is turned on until the output capacitor is either charged to a value close  
to the input voltage or ca. 3.3V, whichever occurs first. The rectifying switch is current limited during that phase.  
The current limit increases with decreasing input to output voltage difference. This circuit also limits the output  
current under short-circuit conditions at the output. Figure 58 shows the typical pre-charge current vs. input  
minus the output voltage for a specific input voltage.

Figure 58. Typical DC Pre-charge and Short-Circuit Current  
In direct drive mode (HC_SEL = L, TPS6132x), after having pre-charged the output capacitor, the device  
starts-up switching and increases its current limit in three steps of typically 30mA, 250mA and full current limit  
(ILIM setting). The current limit transitions from the first to the second step occurs after a milli-second operation.  
Full current limit operation is set once the output voltage has reached its regulation limits. In this mode, the active  
balancing circuit is disabled.  
In high-current mode (HC_SEL = H), the pre-charge voltage of the storage capacitor is depending on the input  
voltage and operating mode (i.e., voltage regulation vs. current regulation mode). In case the device is set for  
exclusive current regulation operation (i.e., MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 01 or 10 and ENVM = 0), the output capacitor  
pre-charge voltage will be close to the input voltage. Under all other operating conditions, the pre-charge voltage  
will either be close to the input voltage or to approximately 3.3V, whichever is lower. Furthermore, pre-charge  
operation can be suspended/resumed via the Tx-MASK input (refer to ILIM setting and Tx-MASK input logic  
state).  
After having pre-charged the storage capacitor, the device starts-up switching. During down-mode operation, the  
inductor valley current is actively limited either to 30mA or 250mA (refer to ILIM setting). As the device enters  
boost mode operation, the current limit transitions to its full capability (refer to ILIM setting and Tx-MASK input  
logic state). As a consequence, the output voltage ramps-up linearly and the start-up time needed to reach the  
programmed output voltage (refer to OV[3:0] bits) will mainly depend on the super-capacitor value and load  
current. In this mode, the active balancing circuit is enabled.

The TPS6132x device uses a control architecture that allows to “recycle” excessive energy that might be stored  
in the output capacitor. By reversing the operation of the boost power stage, the converter is capable of  
transferring energy from its output back into the input source. In this case, the power good signal is de-asserted  
whilst the output voltage is decreasing towards its target value (i.e., the closest fit voltage the converter can  
support, refer to the section “Down-Mode in Voltage Regulation Mode” for additional information).

LED TEMPERATURE MONITORING  
The TPS6132x devices monitor the LED temperature by measuring the voltage between the TS and AGND pins.  
An internal current source provides the bias (c.a. 24 mA) for a negative-temperature coefficient resistor (NTC),  
and the TS pin voltage is compared to internal thresholds (1.05V and 0.345V) to protect the LEDs against  
overheating.  
The temperature monitoring related blocks are always active in DC light or flashlight modes. In voltage mode  
operation (MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 11), the device only activates the TS input when the ENTS bit is set to high. In  
shutdown mode, the LED temperature supervision is disabled and the quiescent current of the device is  
dramatically reduced.  
The LEDWARN and LEDHOT bits reflect the LED temperature. The LEDWARN bit is set when the voltage seen  
at the TS pin is lower than 1.05V. This threshold corresponds to an LED warning temperature value, the device  
operation is still permitted.  
While regulating LED current (i.e.. DC light or flashlight modes), the LEDHOT bit is latched when the voltage  
seen at the TS pin is lower than 0.345V. This threshold corresponds to an excessive LED temperature value, the  
device operation is immediately suspended (MODE_CTRL[1:0] bits are reset and HOTDIE[1:0] bits are set).  
HOT DIE DETECTOR  
The hot die detector monitors the junction temperature but does not shutdown the device. It provides an early  
warning to the camera engine to avoid excessive power dissipation thus preventing from thermal shutdown  
during the next high-power flash strobe.  
The hot die detector (HOTDIE[1:0] bits) reflects the instantaneous junction temperature and is always enabled  
excepted when the device is in shutdown mode (MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 00).  
FLASHLIGHT BLANKING (Tx-MASK)  
In direct drive mode (HC_SEL = 0), the Tx-MASK input signal can be used to disable the flashlight operation,  
e.g., during a RF PA transmission pulse. This blanking function turns the LED from flashlight to DC light thereby  
reducing almost instantaneously the peak current loading from the battery. The Tx-MASK function has no  
influence on the safety timer duration.

current limit setting (i.e. controls the maximum current drawn from the input source). Refer to the section “Current

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT  
The under-voltage lockout circuit prevents the device from mis-operation at low input voltages. It prevents the  
converter from turning on the switch–MOSFET, or rectifier–MOSFET for battery voltages below 2.3V. The I2C  
compatible interface is fully functional down to 2.1V input voltage.  
SHUTDOWN  
MODE_CTRL[1:0] bits low force the device into shutdown. The shutdown state can only be entered when voltage  
regulation is turned-off (ENVM = 0).  
In direct drive mode (HC_SEL = L), the regulator stops switching, the high-side PMOS disconnects the load from  
the input and the LEDx pins are high impedance thus eliminating any DC conduction path. The TPS6132x device  
actively discharges the output capacitor when it turns off.  
The integrated discharge resistor has a typical resistance of 2kequally split-off between VOUT to BAL and BAL  
to GND outputs. The required time to discharge the output capacitor at VOUT depends on load current and the  
effective output capacitance. The active balancing circuit is disabled and the device consumes only a shutdown  
current of 1mA (typ).  
In high-current mode (HC_SEL = H), the device maintains its output biased at the input voltage level. In this  
mode, the synchronous rectifier is current limited (i.e. pre-charge current) allowing external load (e.g. audio  
amplifier) to be powered with a restricted supply. The active balancing circuit is enabled and the device  
consumes only a standby current of 5mA (typ).  
THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
As soon as the junction temperature, TJ, exceeds 160°C typical, the device goes into thermal shutdown. In this  
mode, the power stage and the low-side current regulators are turned-off, the HOTDIE[1:0] bits are set and can  
only be reset by a readout.  
In the voltage mode operation (MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 11 or ENVM = 1), the device continues its operation when  
the junction temperature falls below 140°C typ. again. In the current regulation mode (i.e., DC light or flashlight  
modes) the device operation is suspended.  
STORAGE CAPACITOR ACTIVE CELL BALANCING  
A fully charged super-capacitor will typically have leakage current of under 1mA. The TPS6132x device integrates  
an active balancing feature to cut the total leakage current from the super-capacitor and balance circuit to less  
than 1.7mA typ.  
The device integrates a window comparator monitoring the tap point of the multi-cell super-capacitor. The  
balancing output (BAL) is substantially half the actual output voltage (VOUT). If the internal leakage current in one  
of the capacitors is larger than that in the other, then the voltage at their junction will tend to change in such a  
way that the voltage on the capacitor with the larger (or largest) leakage current will reduce.  
When this happens, a current will begin to flow from the BAL output in such a direction as to reduce the amount  
by which the voltage changes. The current that will flow after a long period of steady-state conditions will be  
approximately equal to the difference between the leakage currents of the pair of capacitors which is being  
balanced by the circuit. The output resistance of the balancing circuit (c.a. 250) determines how quickly an  
imbalance will be corrected.

The device can provide a path to allow for reverse biasing of white LEDs (refer to Figure 62). To do so, the  
output of the converter (VOUT) is pulled to ground thus allowing a reverse current to flow. This mode of  
operation is only possible when the converter’s power stage is in shutdown (MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 00, ENVM = 0  
and HC_SEL = 0).  
WHITE LED PRIVACY INDICATOR  
The TPS6132x device features white LED drive capability at low light intensity. To generate a reduced LED  
average current, the device employs a 30kHz fixed frequency PWM modulation scheme. The PWM timer uses  
the internal oscillator as reference clock, therefore the PWM modulating frequency shows the same accuracy as  
the internal reference clock. Operation is understood best by referring to the timer block diagram.  
The DC light current is modulated with a duty cycle defined by the INDC[3:0] bits. The low light dimming mode  
can only be activated in the software controlled DC light only mode (MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 01, ENVM = 1) and

STORAGE CAPACITOR, PRE-CHARGE VOLTAGE CALIBRATION  
High-power LEDs tend to exhibit a wide forward voltage distribution. The TPS6132x device integrates a  
self-calibration procedure that can be used to determine the optimum super-capacitor pre-charge voltage based  
on the actual worst case LED forward voltage and ESR of the storage capacitor. This calibration procedure is  
meant to start-off at a min. output voltage and can be initiated by setting the SELFCAL bit (preferably with  
MODE_CTRL[1:0] = 00, ENVM = 0).  
The calibration procedure monitors the sense voltage across the low-side current regulators (according to  
ENLED[3:1] bits setting) and registers the worst case LED (i.e. the LED featuring the largest forward voltage).  
The TPS6132x device automatically sweeps through its output voltage range and performs a short duration flash  
strobe for each step (refer to FC13[1:0] and FC2[2:0] bits settings).  
In direct drive mode (HC_SEL = L), the energy is being directly transferred from the battery to the LEDs. In  
high-current mode (HC_SEL = H), the energy is supplied exclusively by the output reservoir capacitor and the  
inductive power stage is turned-off for the flash strobe period of time.  
The sequence is stopped as soon as the device detects that each of the low-side current regulators have enough  
headroom voltage (i.e. 400mV typ.). The device returns the according output voltage in the register OV[3:0] and  
sets the SELFCAL bit. This bit is only being reset at the (re-)start of a calibration cycle. In other words, when  
SELFCAL is asserted the output voltage register (OV[3:0]) returns the result of the last calibration sequence.

Figure 64. LED Forward Voltage Self-Calibration Principle  
STORAGE CAPACITOR, ADAPTIVE PRE-CHARGE VOLTAGE  
In high-power LED camera flash applications, the storage capacitor is supposed to be charged to an optimum  
voltage level in order to:  
Maintain sufficient headroom voltage across the LED current regulators for the entire strobe time.  
Minimize the power dissipation in the device.  
High-power LEDs tend to exhibit large dynamic forward voltage variation relating to own self-heating effects. In  
addition, the energy storage capacitor (i.e., Electrochemical Double-Layer Capacitor or Super-Capacitor) also  
shows a relatively large effective capacitance and ESR spread. The main factors contributing to these variations  
are:  
Flash strobe duration  
Temperature  
Ageing effects  
In practice, it normally becomes very challenging to compensate for all these variations and a worst-case design  
would presumably be too pessimistic. As a consequence, designers would have to give-up on the benefits  
coming along with the “Storage Capacitor, Pre-Charge Voltage Calibration” approach.  
The TPS6132x device offers the possibility of controlling the storage capacitor pre-charge voltage in a  
closed-loop manner. The principle is to dynamically adjust the initial pre-voltage to the minimum value, as  
required for the particular components characteristic and operating conditions.  
The reference criteria used to evaluate proper operation is the headroom voltage across the LED current  
regulators. In case of a critical headroom voltage (VLED1-3) at the end of a flash strobe (i.e., n cycle), the  
pre-charge voltage should be increased prior to the next capture sequence (i.e., n+1 cycle).

SERIAL INTERFACE DESCRIPTION  
I2C™ is a 2-wire serial interface developed by Philips Semiconductor, now NXP Semiconductors (see I2C-Bus  
Specification, Version 2.1, January 2000). The bus consists of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL) with  
pull-up structures. When the bus is idle, both SDA and SCL lines are pulled high. All the I2C compatible devices  
connect to the I2C bus through open drain I/O pins, SDA and SCL. A master device, usually a microcontroller or  
a digital signal processor, controls the bus. The master is responsible for generating the SCL signal and device  
addresses. The master also generates specific conditions that indicate the START and STOP of data transfer. A  
slave device receives and/or transmits data on the bus under control of the master device.  
The TPS6132x device works as a slave and supports the following data transfer modes, as defined in the  
I2C-Bus Specification: standard mode (100 kbps) and fast mode (400 kbps), and high-speed mode (3.4 Mbps).  
The interface adds flexibility to the power supply solution, enabling most functions to be programmed to new  
values depending on the instantaneous application requirements. Register contents remain intact as long as  
supply voltage remains above 2.1V.  
The data transfer protocol for standard and fast modes is exactly the same, therefore they are referred to as  
F/S-mode in this document. The protocol for high-speed mode is different from F/S-mode, and it is referred to as  
HS-mode. The TPS6132x device supports 7-bit addressing; 10-bit addressing and general call address are not  
supported. The device 7bit address is defined as ‘011 0011’.  
F/S-MODE PROTOCOL  
The master initiates data transfer by generating a start condition. The start condition is when a high-to-low  
transition occurs on the SDA line while SCL is high, as shown in Figure 66. All I2C-compatible devices should  
recognize a start condition.

The master then generates the SCL pulses, and transmits the 7-bit address and the read/write direction bit R/W  
on the SDA line. During all transmissions, the master ensures that data is valid. A valid data condition requires  
the SDA line to be stable during the entire high period of the clock pulse (see Figure 67). All devices recognize  
the address sent by the master and compare it to their internal fixed addresses. Only the slave device with a  
matching address generates an acknowledge (see Figure 68) by pulling the SDA line low during the entire high  
period of the ninth SCL cycle. Upon detecting this acknowledge, the master knows that communication link with a  
slave has been established.

Figure 67. Bit Transfer on the Serial Interface  
The master generates further SCL cycles to either transmit data to the slave (R/W bit 1) or receive data from the  
slave (R/W bit 0). In either case, the receiver needs to acknowledge the data sent by the transmitter. So an  
acknowledge signal can either be generated by the master or by the slave, depending on which one is the  
receiver. 9-bit valid data sequences consisting of 8-bit data and 1-bit acknowledge can continue as long as  
necessary.  
To signal the end of the data transfer, the master generates a stop condition by pulling the SDA line from low to  
high while the SCL line is high (see Figure 66). This releases the bus and stops the communication link with the  
addressed slave. All I2C compatible devices must recognize the stop condition. Upon the receipt of a stop  
condition, all devices know that the bus is released, and they wait for a start condition followed by a matching  
address.

Figure 69. Bus Protocol  
HS-MODE PROTOCOL  
The master generates a start condition followed by a valid serial byte containing HS master code 00001XXX.  
This transmission is made in F/S-mode at no more than 400 Kbps. No device is allowed to acknowledge the HS  
master code, but all devices must recognize it and switch their internal setting to support 3.4 Mbps operation.  
The master then generates a repeated start condition (a repeated start condition has the same timing as the start  
condition). After this repeated start condition, the protocol is the same as F/S-mode, except that transmission  
speeds up to 3.4 Mbps are allowed. A stop condition ends the HS-mode and switches all the internal settings of  
the slave devices to support the F/S-mode. Instead of using a stop condition, repeated start conditions should be  
used to secure the bus in HS-mode.  
Attempting to read data from register addresses not listed in this section will result in 00h being read out.  
TPS6132x I2C UPDATE SEQUENCE  
The TPS6132x requires a start condition, a valid I2C address, a register address byte, and a data byte for a  
single update. After the receipt of each byte, TPS6132x device acknowledges by pulling the SDA line low during  
the high period of a single clock pulse. A valid I2C address selects the TPS6132x. TPS6132x performs an update  
on the falling edge of the acknowledge signal that follows the LSB byte.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
A boost converter requires two main passive components for storing energy during the conversion. A boost  
inductor and a storage capacitor at the output are required. The TPS6132x device integrates a current limit  
protection circuitry. The valley current of the PMOS rectifier is sensed to limit the maximum current flowing  
through the synchronous rectifier and the inductor. The valley peak current limit (250mA/1150mA/1600mA) is  
user selectable via the I2C interface.  
In order to optimize solution size the TPS6132x device has been designed to operate with inductance values  
between a minimum of 1.3 mH and maximum of 2.9 mH. In typical high current white LED applications a 2.2mH  
inductance is recommended.  
The highest peak current through the inductor and the power switch depends on the output load, the input and  
output voltages. Estimation of the maximum average inductor current and the maximum inductor peak current  
can be done using Equation 2 and Equation 3:

INPUT CAPACITOR  
For good input voltage filtering low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. A 10-mF input capacitor is  
recommended to improve transient behavior of the regulator and EMI behavior of the total power supply circuit.  
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the input pin of the converter.

OUTPUT CAPACITOR  
The major parameter necessary to define the output capacitor is the maximum allowed output voltage ripple of  
the converter. This ripple is determined by two parameters of the capacitor, the capacitance and the ESR. It is  
possible to calculate the minimum capacitance needed for the defined ripple, supposing that the ESR is zero, by  
using Equation 4:  
IOUT × (VOUT - VIN)  
Cmin »  
f ´ DV ´ VOUT  
(4)  
Parameter f is the switching frequency and ΔV is the maximum allowed ripple.  
With a chosen ripple voltage of 10mV, a minimum capacitance of 10mF is needed. The total ripple is larger due  
to the ESR of the output capacitor. This additional component of the ripple can be calculated using Equation 5:  
ΔVESR = IOUT × RESR  
(5)  
The total ripple is the sum of the ripple caused by the capacitance and the ripple caused by the ESR of the  
capacitor. Additional ripple is caused by load transients. This means that the output capacitor has to completely  
supply the load during the charging phase of the inductor. A reasonable value of the output capacitance depends  
on the speed of the load transients and the load current during the load change.  
For the standard current white LED application (HC_SEL = 0, TPS6132x), a minimum of 3mF effective output  
capacitance is usually required when operating with 2.2mH (typ) inductors. For solution size reasons, this is  
usually one or more X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors.  
Depending on the material, size and therefore margin to the rated voltage of the used output capacitor,  
degradation on the effective capacitance can be observed. This loss of capacitance is related to the DC bias  
voltage applied. It is therefore always recommended to check that the selected capacitors are showing enough  
effective capacitance under real operating conditions.  
To support high-current camera flash application (HC_SEL = 1), the converter is designed to work with a low  
voltage super-capacitor on the output to take advantage of the benefits they offer. A low-voltage super-capacitor  
in the 0.1F to 1.5F range, and with ESR larger than 40m, is suitable in the TPS6132x application circuit. For  
this device the output capacitor should be connected between the VOUT pin and a good ground connection.

NTC SELECTION  
The TPS6132x requires a negative thermistor (NTC) for sensing the LED temperature. Once the temperature  
monitoring feature is activated, a regulated bias current (c.a. 24mA) will be driven out of the TS port and produce  
a voltage across the thermistor.  
If the temperature of the NTC-thermistor rises due to the heat dissipated by the LED, the voltage on the TS input  
pin decreases. When this voltage goes below the “warning threshold”, the LEDWARN bit in REGISTER6 is set.  
This flag is cleared by reading the register.  
If the voltage on the TS input decreases further and falls below “hot threshold”, the LEDHOT bit in REGISTER6  
is set and the device goes automatically in shutdown mode to avoid damaging the LED. This status is latched  
until the LEDHOT flag gets cleared by software.  
The selection of the NTC-thermistor value strongly depends on the power dissipated by the LED and all  
components surrounding the temperature sensor and on the cooling capabilities of each specific application. With  
a 220k(at 25°C) thermistor, the valid temperature window is set between 60°C to 90°C. The temperature  
window can be enlarged by adding external resistors to the TS pin application circuit. In order to ensure proper  
triggering of the LEDWARN and LEDHOT flags in noisy environments, the TS signal may require additional  
filtering capacitance.

CHECKING LOOP STABILITY  
The first step of circuit and stability evaluation is to look from a steady-state perspective at the following signals:  
Switching node, SW  
Inductor current, IL  
Output ripple voltage, VOUT(AC)  
These are the basic signals that need to be measured when evaluating a switching converter. When the  
switching waveform shows large duty cycle jitter or the output voltage or inductor current shows oscillations the  
regulation loop may be unstable. This is often a result of improper board layout and/or L-C combination.  
As a next step in the evaluation of the regulation loop the load transient response needs to be tested. VOUT can  
be monitored for settling time, overshoot or ringing that helps judge the converter's stability. Without any ringing,  
the loop has usually more than 45° of phase margin.  
Because the damping factor of the circuitry is directly related to several resistive parameters (e.g., MOSFET  
rDS(on)) that are temperature dependant, the loop stability analysis has to be done over the input voltage range,  
output current range, and temperature range.  
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents  
and high switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show stability problems as  
well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for the main current path and for the power ground  
tracks.  
The input capacitor, output capacitor, and the inductor should be placed as close as possible to the IC. Use a  
common ground node for power ground and a different one for control ground to minimize the effects of ground  
noise. Connect these ground nodes at any place close to one of the ground pins of the IC.  
To lay out the control ground, it is recommended to use short traces as well, separated from the power ground  
traces. This avoids ground shift problems, which can occur due to superimposition of power ground current and  
control ground current.

THERMAL INFORMATION  
Implementation of integrated circuits in low-profile and fine-pitch surface-mount packages typically requires  
special attention to power dissipation. Many system-dependant issues such as thermal coupling, airflow, added  
heat sinks and convection surfaces, and the presence of other heat-generating components affect the  
power-dissipation limits of a given component.  
Three basic approaches for enhancing thermal performance are listed below:  
Improving the power dissipation capability of the PCB design  
Improving the thermal coupling of the component to the PCB  
Introducing airflow in the system  
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where  
high maximum power dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.  
The maximum junction temperature (TJ) of the TPS6132x is 150°C.  
The maximum power dissipation is especially critical when the device operates in the linear down mode at high  
LED current. For single pulse power thermal analysis (e.g., flashlight strobe), the allowable power dissipation for  
the device is given by Figure 75. These values are derived using the reference design.

TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard  
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where  
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.  
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and  
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide  
adequate design and operating safeguards.  
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,  
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information  
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a  
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual  
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.  
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied  
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive  
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional  
restrictions.  
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all  
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not  
responsible or liable for any such statements.  
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably  
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing  
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and  
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products  
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be  
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in  
such safety-critical applications.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are  
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military  
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at  
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.  
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are  
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated  
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
