Product details

Six-channel boost regulator for LED backlight strings

It integrates six current-sink outputs, each rated for 30 mA per channel, with a maximum output voltage of 38 V — enough headroom for a string of ten to twelve series-connected white LEDs. Switching at a fixed 1 MHz, the part allows a small external inductor and ceramic output capacitor, keeping the total bill-of-materials footprint compact for space-constrained backlight assemblies. PWM dimming is supported directly on the enable pin, giving the system designer a straightforward brightness-control interface without an external PWM generator.

Input supply range and thermal envelope

The supply input accepts 4.5 V to 24 V. Packaged in a 16-pin WFQFN with an exposed pad (3 mm × 3 mm), the device relies on the PCB copper pour under the pad for thermal dissipation.

It remains a current-production choice for new designs requiring a six-channel boost LED driver with PWM dimming.

Frequently asked questions

How to dim LEDs with TPS61181ARTET?

The TPS61181ARTET supports PWM dimming directly on the enable pin. Applying a PWM signal to the EN pin turns the regulator on and off at the dimming frequency, controlling average LED current without requiring an external PWM generator or serial interface.

Does TPS61181ARTET require external components?

Yes, like any boost regulator it requires an external inductor, input and output capacitors, and current-setting resistors for each LED channel. The 1 MHz switching frequency allows a small inductor (typically 4.7 µH to 10 µH) and ceramic capacitors.
