Dual Step-Down
1.5A LED Driver
The LT
®
3475/LT3475-1 are dual step-down DC/DC
converters designed to operate as a constant-current
source. An internal sense resistor monitors the output
current allowing accurate current regulation ideal for
driving high current LEDs. The high side current sense al-
lows grounded cathode LED operation. High output current
accuracy is maintained over a wide current range, from
50mA to 1.5A, allowing a wide dimming range. Unique
PWM circuitry allows a dimming range of 3000:1, avoid-
ing 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 20 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 its wide input range of 4V to 36V, the LT3475/LT3475-1
regulate a broad array of power sources. A current mode
PWM architecture provides fast transient response and
cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback and
thermal shutdown provide additional protection.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specifi ed maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3: The LT3475E and LT3475E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance
specifi cations from 0°C to 85°C. Specifi cations over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LT3475I and LT3475I-1
are guaranteed to meet performance specifi cations over the –40°C to
125°C operating temperature range.
Note 4: Current fl ows out of pin.
Note 5: Current fl ows into pin.
Note 6: Current limit is guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static
test. Slope compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles.
