Product details

What the TPS61160DRVT does in a backlight design

It integrates the switching FET internally, operates at a fixed 600kHz switching frequency, and accepts a supply range from 2.7V to 18V — covering single-cell Li-ion through 12V rails.

Output voltage and switch current — sizing the LED string

The boost output is rated to 26V, which supports up to six white LEDs in series (assuming ~3.2V per LED plus headroom). PWM dimming input allows brightness control independent of the output voltage regulation loop.

Frequently asked questions

What is the maximum switching current of TPS61160DRVT?

The internal switch is rated for 700mA peak current, which is the maximum current the boost switch can handle before the current-limit protection engages.

Can TPS61160DRVT be used with a 3.3V input?

Yes. The minimum supply voltage is 2.7V, so a 3.3V rail is well within the operating range. The boost will step up from 3.3V to the required LED string voltage up to 26V.

How does TPS61160DRVT compare to TPS61161?

The TPS61161 is a close sibling in the same family, sharing the same boost topology, 600kHz switching frequency, and 26V output ceiling. The primary difference is switch current rating — the TPS61161 is rated for 1.2A switch current versus 700mA on the TPS61160DRVT, making it better suited for higher-current LED strings. Package and pinout differ, so they are not drop-in replacements.
