Description

This reference design details a solution for driving LEDs in an automotive, rear-light application such as a rear combination lamp (RCL) . This design features the TPS9261x-Q1 linear LED driver family powered by the LM5155-Q1 voltage regulator which is configured in a single-ended, primary inductance converter (SEPIC). The SEPIC provides a regulated voltage from the automotive battery. This design can operate through cold crank conditions and also optimizes the solution efficiency.
