LT3761A 60VIN LED Controller with Internal PWM Generator FeaTuresDescripTion n 3000:1 True Color PWM™ Dimming for LEDs The LT®3761A is a DC/DC controller designed to operate as n Wide VIN Range: 4.5V to 60V a constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator. n Rail-to-Rail Current Sense Range: 0V to 80V It features a programmable internal PWM dimming signal. n Programmable PWM Dimming Signal Generator The LT3761A is ideally suited for driving high current LEDs, n Constant Current (±3%) and Constant-Voltage but also has features to make it suitable for charging bat- (±2%) Regulation teries and supercapacitors. The fixed frequency, current n Analog Dimming mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide n Drives LEDs in Boost, SEPIC, Inverting, Buck Mode, range of supply and output voltages. A voltage feedback Buck-Boost Mode, or Flyback Configuration pin serves as the input for several LED protection features, n Output Short-Circuit Protected Boost and also makes it possible for the converter to operate n Open LED Protection and Reporting as a constant-voltage source. A frequency adjust pin n Adjustable Switching Frequency: 100kHz to 1MHz allows the user to program the frequency from 100kHz n Programmable VIN UVLO with Hysteresis to 1MHz to optimize efficiency, performance or external n C/10 Indication for Battery Chargers component size. n Low Shutdown Current: <1µA The LT3761A senses output current at the high side or at n Thermally Enhanced 16-Lead MSOP Package the low side of the load. The PWM input can be configured applicaTions to self-oscillate at fixed frequency with duty ratio program- mable from 4% to 96%. The LT3761A offers improved n High Voltage LED Strings >100V with Ground accuracy of internal PWM dimming over LT3761. When Referred Current Sense driven by an external signal, the PWM input provides LED n Grounded Anode LEDs dimming ratios of up to 3000:1. The CTRL input provides n Battery and SuperCap Chargers additional analog dimming capability. n L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and Accurate Current Limited Voltage Regulators True Color PWM is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
