Description
Triple Output LED Driver
The LT
®
3496 is a triple output DC/DC converter designed
to operate as a constant-current source and is ideal for
driving LEDs. The LT3496 works in buck, boost or buck-
boost mode. The LT3496 uses a fixed frequency, current
mode architecture resulting in stable operation over a
wide range of supply and output voltages. A frequency
adjust pin allows the user to program switching frequency
between 330kHz and 2.1MHz to optimize efficiency and
external component size.
The LT3496 supports 3000:1 dimming control on each
channel. Each of the three regulators is independently
operated by that channel’s PWM signal. The PWM feature
allows precise adjustment of the color mixing or dimming
ratio of the LED source. Each of the three channels has
a built-in gate driver to drive an external LED-disconnect
P-channel MOSFET, allowing high dimming range. The
output current range of each channel of the LT3496 is
programmed with an external sense resistor.
The CTRL pins are used to adjust the LED currents either
for analog dimming or overtemperature protection.
