DESCRIPTION
48V Buck Mode
LED Driver in SC70
and 2mm x 2mm DFN
The LT
®
3590 is a fi xed frequency buck mode converter
specifi cally designed to drive up to 10 LEDs in series from
a 48V DC source. Series connection of the LEDs provides
identical LED currents of up to 50mA, resulting in uniform
brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors.
A fi xed frequency, current mode architecture results in
stable operation over a wide range of input voltage and
output voltage.
The high switching frequency of 850kHz permits the use
of tiny, low profi le inductors and capacitors. A single pin
performs both shutdown and accurate LED dimming
control. The power switch, Schottky diode and control
circuitry are all contained inside a space saving SC70
package or 2mm × 2mm DFN package to allow a small
converter footprint and lower parts cost.
