4-String 120mA LED Driver
with ±1.5% Current Matching
The LT
®
3599 is a fixed frequency 2A step-up DC/DC
converter designed to drive four strings of 120mA LEDs
up to a 44V output voltage. The switching frequency is
programmable from 200kHz to 2.1MHz through an ex
-
ternal resistor.
LED dimming can be achieved with analog dimming on
the CTRL pin,
and with pulse width modulation dimming
on the PWM pin. The LT3599 accurately regulates LED
current even when the input voltage is higher than the
LED output voltage.
Additional features include programmable LED current
derating, switching frequency synchronization to an ex
-
ternal clock, LED string disable control, OPENLED alert
pin
, SHOR
TLED alert pins and programmable maximum
output voltage when all LED strings are disconnected. The
LT3599 is available in the thermally enhanced 32-pin (5mm
× 5mm) QFN and 28-pin TSSOP packages.
