Product details

Buck LED driver with integrated switch

It integrates the switching FET internally, so the bill of materials stays compact — just the inductor, input/output caps, and a few resistors.

28 V ceiling and PWM dimming

Output voltage goes up to 28 V, matching the supply maximum — that covers a string of eight to ten series LEDs in a typical lighting fixture or an IR flood for night-vision cameras. Dimming is via PWM, which means you can vary brightness by modulating the enable pin with a logic-level signal from a microcontroller or sensor; no external DAC needed. The 4.5 V minimum supply lets it run off a standard 5 V rail or a 12 V automotive bus with headroom.

Thermal range and package

The TSOT-23-6 package is a thin SOT-23 footprint, surface-mount only, so it reflows with the rest of the board in a standard lead-free profile.

Frequently asked questions

What is the TPS54201DDCR used for?

It is a buck DC DC regulator for LED lighting — display backlighting, IR LED arrays for day/night vision cameras, and general constant-current LED drive. The PWM dimming input lets a controller set brightness directly.
