Part Number:TPS92691
Hi, I'm working on an LED driver board, and I'm running in to some unexpected behaviors. (Please see attached scope screen shot).
Topology: Boost.
Vin: 11 volts
LEDs: a chain of 5 with a forward voltage of 2.8-3.5 volts depending on current
Using low-side LED current sensing, Rsense = 0.10 ohms, Viadj = .14 volts
Using PWM dimming, with a low-side FET
So, the questions are:
Why is the switching not even starting till half-way through the On-period?
Why is the LED voltage rising?
Why is there some ringing a little bit after the switching shuts off.
And any thoughts or theories as to what could be causing this?
For the screen shot:
Channel 1 (yellow): the PWM FET Gate voltage
Channel 2 (blue): the voltage at the Source of the switching FET.
Channel 4: The PWM input signal.
Thanks in advance!
