DescripTion
60V Triple Step-Down
LED Driver
The LT
®
3597 is a 60V triple step-down LED driver capable
of achieving 10,000:1 digital PWM dimming at 100Hz with
fast NPN current sources driving up to 10 LEDs in each
channel. LED dimming can also be achieved via analog
control of the CTRL1-3 pin.
The step-down switching frequency is programmed be-
tween 200kHz and 1MHz. The frequency is also synchroniz-
able to an external clock. The LT3597 provides maximum
LED brightness while adhering to manufacturers’ speci-
fications for thermal derating. The derate temperature is
programmed by placing a negative temperature coefficient
(NTC) resistor on the master control pin.
The LT3597 adaptively controls V
OUT
in order to achieve
optimal efficiency. Other features include: 2% LED cur-
rent matching between channels, open LED reporting,
shorted LED protection, programmable LED current, and
programmable temperature protection.
