The LT
®
3478/LT3478-1 are 4.5A step-up DC/DC convert-
ers designed to drive LEDs with a constant current over
a wide programmable range. Series connection of the
LEDs provides identical LED currents for uniform bright-
ness without the need for ballast resistors and expensive
factory calibration.
The LT3478-1 reduces external component count and cost
by integrating the LED current sense resistor. The LT3478
uses an external sense resistor to extend the maximum
programmable LED current beyond 1A and also to achieve
greater accuracy when programming low LED currents.
Operating frequency can be set with an external resistor
from 200kHz up to 2.25MHz. Unique circuitry allows a
PWM dimming range up to 3000:1 while maintaining
constant LED color. The LT3478/LT3478-1 are ideal for
high power LED driver applications such as automotive TFT
LCD backlights, courtesy lighting and heads-up displays.
One of two CTRL pins can be used to program maximum
LED current. The other CTRL pin can be used to program
a reduction in maximum LED current vs temperature to
maximize LED usage and improve reliability.
Additional features include inrush current protection,
programmable open LED protection and programmable
soft-start. Each part is available in a 16-pin thermally
enhanced TSSOP Package.
