TPS60230RGTR

Texas Instruments · LED Drivers · VQFN-16-EP(3x3)

TPS60230RGTR from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-16-EP(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ISET input Connect a resistor between this pin and GND to set the maximum current through the LEDs. Recommended ISET pin current range 4 to 130 µA; reference voltage 580-620 mV (EN2=EN1=1).
2 D5 input Current sink input for LED5. Connect the cathode of the white LED to this input. Recommended maximum current per current sink is 25 mA.
3 D4 input Current sink input for LED4. Connect the cathode of the white LED to this input. Recommended maximum current per current sink is 25 mA.
4 D3 input Current sink input for LED3. Connect the cathode of the white LED to this input. Recommended maximum current per current sink is 25 mA.
5 D2 input Current sink input for LED2. Connect the cathode of the white LED to this input. Recommended maximum current per current sink is 25 mA.
6 D1 input Current sink input for LED1. Connect the cathode of the white LED to this input. Recommended maximum current per current sink is 25 mA.
7 PGND power_in Power ground. Connect with analog ground (GND).
8 VOUT power_out Charge pump output. Connect the output capacitor (1 µF) and the anodes of the LEDs to this pin. Overvoltage limit 5.5 V.
9 C2+ passive Positive terminal of flying capacitor C2. Connect a 0.22-0.47 µF ceramic flying capacitor between C2+ and C2-.
10 C1+ passive Positive terminal of flying capacitor C1. Connect a 0.22-0.47 µF ceramic flying capacitor between C1+ and C1-.
11 C1- passive Negative terminal of flying capacitor C1. Connect a 0.22-0.47 µF ceramic flying capacitor between C1+ and C1-.
12 C2- passive Negative terminal of flying capacitor C2. Connect a 0.22-0.47 µF ceramic flying capacitor between C2+ and C2-.
13 VIN power_in Supply voltage input. Operating range 2.7 V to 6.5 V; requires a 1 µF input capacitor to ground. Absolute max 7 V.
14 GND power_in Analog ground.
15 EN1 input Enable input 1. Logic high enables the converter; logic low forces shutdown (<1 µA) if EN2 is also tied to GND. Together with EN2 selects x1/x1.5 mode and PWM dimming. VIH = 1.3 V min, VIL = 0.3 V max.
16 EN2 input Enable input 2 / PWM dimming input. An applied PWM signal reduces LED current as a function of duty cycle. EN1 and EN2 can be tied together for PWM dimming between 0 mA and the ISET-programmed maximum, or used for 4-step digital dimming. PWM frequency 0-50 kHz.
17 PowerPAD power_in Exposed thermal pad on package underside. Connect to PGND and GND for thermal dissipation and electrical grounding.
