Functional Description
The TLE 4242 G is an integrated adjustable constant current source driving loads up to
500 mA. The output current level can be adjusted via an external resistor. The IC is
designed to supply high power LEDs (e.g. Osram Dragon LA W57B) under the severe
conditions of automotive applications resulting in constant brightness and extended LED
lifetime. It is provided in the surface mounted PG-TO263-7-1 package. Protection circuits
prevent damage to the device in case of overload, short circuit, reverse polarity and
overheat. The connected LEDs are protected against reverse polarity as well as excess
voltages up to 45 V.
The integrated PWM input of the TLE 4242 G permits LED brightness regulation by
pulse width modulation. Due to the high input impedance of the PWM input the LED
driver can be operated as a protected high side switch.

Block Diagram
An external shunt resistor in the ground path of the connected LEDs is used to sense the
LED current. A regulation loop helds the voltage drop at the shunt resistor on a constant
level of typ. 177 mV. Selecting the shunt resistance permits to adjust the appropriate
constant current level. The typ. output current calculates
V REF
I Q, typ = -----------R REF
(1)
where VREF is the reference voltage with a typical level of 177 mV (see Page 10). The
equation applies in a range of 0.39 Ω ≤ RREF ≤ 1.8 Ω.
The output current is shown as a function of the reference resistance on Page 10. With
the PWM input the LED brightness can be regulated via duty cycle. Also PWM = L sets
the TLE 4242 in sleep mode resulting in a very low current consumption of << 1 μA typ.
Due to the high impedance of the PWM input (see “PWM Pin Input Current versus
PWM Voltage” on Page 11) the PWM pin can thus also be used as an enable input.

Application Circuit
Figure 3 shows a typical application with the TLE 4242 G LED driver. The 3 LEDs are
driven with an adequate supply current adjusted by the resistor RREF. Thus brightness
variations due to forward voltage spread of the LEDs are prevented. The luminosity
spread arising from the LED production process can be compensated via software by an
appropriate duty cycle applied to the PWM pin. Hence selection of the LEDs to forward
voltage as well as to luminosity classes can be spared. The minimum supply voltage
calculates as the sum of the LED forward voltages, the TLE 4242 G drop voltage (max.
0.7 V at a LED current of 300 mA) and the max. voltage drop at the shunt resistor RREF
of max. 185 mV.
The status output of the LED driver (ST) detects an open load condition enabling to
supervise correct LED function. A LED failure is detected if the voltage drop at the shunt
resistor RREF falls below typ. 25 mV. In this case the status output pin ST is set low after
a delay time adjustable via an optional capacitor connected to the pin D.
