The LT
®
3474/LT3474-1 are fi xed frequency step-down
DC/DC converters designed to operate as constant-current
sources. An internal sense resistor monitors the output
current allowing accurate current regulation, ideal for
driving high current LEDs. High output current accuracy
is maintained over a wide current range, from 35mA to
1A, allowing a wide dimming range.
Unique PWM circuitry allows a dimming range of 400:1,
avoiding the color shift normally associated with LED
current dimming.
The high switching frequency offers several advantages,
permitting the use of small inductors and ceramic capaci-
tors. Small inductors combined with the 16-lead TSSOP
surface mount package save space and cost versus
alternative solutions. The constant switching frequency
combined with low-impedance ceramic capacitors result
in low, predictable output ripple.
With their wide input range of 4V to 36V, the LT3474/
LT3474-1 regulate a broad array of power sources, from
5V logic rails to unregulated wall transformers, lead acid
batteries and distributed power supplies. A current mode
PWM architecture provides fast transient response and
cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback and
thermal shutdown provide additional protection.
