and Current Source  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
n
True Color PWM™ with 3000:1 Dimming Ratio  
The LTM®8042 is a complete µModule® Boost LED Driver  
specifically designed to drive LEDs up to 1A, while the  
LTM8042-1 drives up to 350mA. It combines a boost  
power topology with a unique current loop to operate as  
a constant-current source. The PWM input provides as  
muchas3000:1LEDdimming,while10:1analogdimming  
canbeaccomplishedbyasingleresistororanalogvoltage  
applied to the CTL pin. As with any boost topology, the  
LTM8042/LTM8042-1 has an uninterrupted current path  
between its input and output and is thus intolerant to a  
short-circuit or overload from the output to ground.

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.  
The LTM8042I/LTM8042I-1 are guaranteed to meet specifications over  
the full –40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range. Note that  
the maximum internal temperature is determined by specific operating  
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal  
resistance and other environmental factors.  
Note 4: This device includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed the maximum internal operating temperature  
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above  
the specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device  
reliability.  
Note 2: Absolute maximum voltage at V , RUN, PWM, TGEN, BSTIN/  
CC  
BKLED pins is 40V for non-repetitive one second transients and 30V for  
continuous operation.  
Note 3: The LTM8042E/LTM8042E-1 are guaranteed to meet performance  
specifications from 0°C to 125°C ambient. Specifications over the full  
–40°C to 125°C internal operating temperature range are assured by  
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
+
GND (Bank 1): Signal and Power Return. Tie these pads  
to a local ground plane below the LTM8042/LTM8042-1  
and the circuit components. In most applications, the  
bulk of the heat flow out of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 is  
through these pads, so the printed circuit design has a  
large impact on the thermal performance of the part. See  
the PCB Layout and Thermal Considerations sections for  
more details.  
LED (Bank 5): Connect this to the anode of the LED  
string. This can also be connected to the PWM dimming  
MOSFET if used.  
RUN (Pin F1): Module Enable. Tie to 1.5V or higher to  
enable the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 or 0.4V or less to dis-  
able device.  
SYNC (Pin G1): Frequency Synchronization Pin. Tie an  
external clock signal here. The RT resistor should be  
chosen to program a switching frequency that is 20%  
slower than SYNC pulse frequency. Tie the SYNC pin to  
GND if this feature is not used.  
V
(Bank 2): Internal Housekeeping Power for the  
CC  
LTM8042/LTM8042-1. Connect to an external power  
source between 3V and 30V. The LTM8042/LTM8042-1  
can withstand transients of 40V.  
RT (Pin H1): Timing Resistor Pin. Used to program the  
switching frequency of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 by con-  
necting a resistor from this pin to GND. The Applications  
Information section of the data sheet includes a table  
to determine the resistance value based on the desired  
switching frequency. Minimize capacitance at this pin.  
BSTIN/BKLED (Bank3):PowerInputforBoostOperation,  
as Well as the Cathode Connection for the LED String in  
Buck Mode. If the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 is used in boost

PIN FUNCTIONS  
TG (Pin J7): Top Gate Driver Output. In response to an  
active high PWM signal, this pin will drive the gate of an  
external series P-channel MOSFET device low. An inter-  
nal 7V clamp protects the PFET gate. This pin can also  
be used to disconnect the load when RUN is pulled low.  
Leave TG unconnected if not used. Do not drive this pin  
with an external source.  
CTL (Pin L2): LED Current Adjustment Pin. Apply a volt-  
age between approximately 1V and 0V to modulate the  
+
LED output current, or tie a resistor to GND to modulate  
+
the LED current. CTL is internally tied to a 2V precision  
reference via a 20k 1% resistor. Leave floating if unused.  
TGEN (Pin L3): Top Gate (TG) Enable Input Pin. Tie to 1.5V  
orhighertoenabletheP-channelMOSFETdriverfunction.  
Tie the TGEN pin to ground if the TG function is not used.  
There is an internal 40k resistor from TGEN to GND.  
PWM (Pin K1): Pulse Width Modulation Input Pin. A low  
signal turns off the LED string, disables the main switch  
and pulls the TG pin high. Drive above 1.55V to deliver  
current to the output. Tie the PWM pin to the RUN pin if  
not used. There is an equivalent 50k resistor from PWM  
pin to ground internally.

OPERATION  
The LTM8042/LTM8042-1 is a complete, full featured,  
current mode regulator specifically designed to drive light  
emitting diodes (LEDs) or other loads where a constant  
current up to 1A (350mA for the LTM8042-1) is required.  
The other way the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 can dim a LED  
array is by pulse width modulation using the PWM pin  
and an optional external P-channel MOSFET. The external  
P-channel MOSFET can be conveniently operated by the  
integrated gate driver at pin TG. The gate drive function  
can be enabled or disabled by the TGEN pin.

IfthePWM pinispulledhigh, thepartoperatesnormally. If  
the PWM pin is unconnected or pulled low, the LTM8042/

LTM8042-1 “remembers” the current sourced from the

TheRUNpinisusedtodeactivatetheLTM8042/LTM8042-1.  
When the RUN pin is pulled to a logic low state, the device  
is shut down and draws typically less than 1µA of current.  
As with any boost topology, there is an uninterrupted cur-  
rent path between the input and output terminals. Current  
between these two terminals is not limited, so the device

There are two ways to dim a LED with the LTM8042/  
LTM8042-1. One way is to adjust the current on the LED  
array by setting the analog voltage on the CTL pin. The  
CTL pin is internally pulled up to a precision 2V reference  
through a 1% 20k resistor. Leaving the CTL pin floating

the CTL pin directly to a voltage source, such as a DAC.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
For most applications, the design process is straight  
forward, summarized as follows:  
Setting the Switching Frequency  
The LTM8042/LTM8042-1 uses a constant frequency  
architecture that can be programmed over a 250kHz to  
2MHz range with a single external timing resistor from the  
RT pin to ground. Table 7 shows suggested R selections  
for a variety of switching frequencies.

ate in boost, buck, or buck-boost mode.

2. Look at Tables 1 through 6 and find the line that best  
matches the input and output conditions of the system  
under consideration.

While these component combinations have been tested  
for proper operation, it is incumbent upon the user to  
verify proper operation over the intended system’s line,  
load and environmental conditions.  
The other way to set the operating frequency of the  
LTM8042/LTM8042-1 is to drive the SYNC pin with an  
external signal. For proper operation, a resistor should be  
connected at the RT pin and be able to generate a switch-  
ing frequency 20% lower than the external clock when the  
external clock is absent.  
IfthedesiredLEDcurrentisnotlistedinTables1through6,  
set it by applying the proper voltage the CTL pin. Graphs  
of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 LED current scaling vs CTL  
voltage are given in the Typical Performance Character-  
istics section. If a voltage source is not available to drive  
the CTL pin, a resistor may be applied from the CTL pin  
to GND. The CTL pin is internally pulled up to a 2V refer-  
ence voltage through a 20k resistor (please see the Block  
Diagram for details).  
In general, a lower switching frequency should be used  
where either very high or very low switching duty cycle  
operationisrequired,orhighefficiencyisdesired.Selection  
of a higher switching frequency will allow use of smaller  
value external components and yield a smaller solution  
size and profile.  
Open LED Protection  
The LTM8042/LTM8042-1 has internal open LED circuit  
protection.IftheLEDisabsentorfailsopen,theLTM8042/  
LTM8042-1 clamps the voltage on the LED+ and BSTOUT/  
BKIN pin to protect the output against overvoltage. The  
internal boost switching converter then regulates its  
output to 36V. In buck mode, the full open LED voltage  
is stood off by the internal power Schottky diode. At high  
operating temperatures, the power Schottky reverse leak-  
age current will rise. This increases the power dissipation  
within the diode, which raises the junction temperature.  
This temperature rise can be large, so care needs to be  
taken at high operating temperatures.  
Operating Modes  
The LTM8042/LTM8042-1 employs a ground referred  
power switch to implement a boost power switching  
circuit. As such, it can be used to implement the three  
most popular LED driving topologies: boost, buck mode,  
and buck-boost mode. Example layouts of each operating  
mode are given in Figures 2 through 4 and schematics are  
shown in the Typical Applications section.

The minimum PWM on or off-time will depend on the  
choice of operating frequency through the RT input pin or  
the SYNC pin. When using the SYNC function, the SYNC

Dimming Control  
There are two methods to control the current source for  
dimming using the LTM8042/LTM8042-1. One method  
usesthePWM pintomodulatethecurrentsourcebetween  
zero and full current to achieve a precisely programmed  
average current. To make this method of current control  
more accurate, the switch demand current is internally  
storedduringthequiescentphase(PWM low).Thisfeature  
minimizes recovery time when the PWM signal returns  
high.WhenusingPWM dimming,useaP-channelMOSFET  
disconnect switch in the LED current path (see Figure 1)  
to prevent the output capacitor from discharging during  
the PWM off-time. Enable this function by pulling TGEN  
above 1.5V.

ample, would be a switching frequency of ƒ = 2MHz,

The second method of dimming control uses the CTL pin  
to linearly adjust the current sense threshold during the  
PWM high state. When the CTL pin voltage is less than  
1V, the LED current is:  
ILED = VCTL  
WhenV ishigherthan1.1V, theLEDcurrentisclamped

The LED current programming feature can be used in  
conjunction with the PWM to possibly increase the total  
dimming range by an additional factor of ten.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
PCB Layout  
Most of the headaches associated with PCB layout have  
been alleviated or even eliminated by the high level of  
integration of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1. The device is  
nevertheless a switching power supply, and care must be  
taken to minimize EMI and ensure proper operation. Even  
with the high level of integration, you may fail to achieve  
specified operation with a haphazard or poor layout. See  
Figures 2, 3 and 4 for suggested layouts of boost, buck  
and buck-boost operating modes.  
4. Place the C , C  
and C  
capacitors such that their  
OUT  
IN VCC  
ground current flows directly adjacent to or underneath  
the LTM8042/LTM8042-1.  
5. Connect all of the GND connections to as large a copper  
pour or plane area as possible on the top layer. Avoid  
breaking the ground connection between the external  
components and the LTM8042/LTM8042-1.  
Use vias to connect the GND copper area to the board’s  
internalgroundplanes. LiberallydistributetheseGNDvias  
to provide both a good ground connection and thermal  
path to the internal planes of the printed circuit board.  
Pay attention to the location and density of the thermal  
vias in Figures 2 through 4. The LTM8042/LTM8042-1  
can benefit from the heat sinking afforded by vias that  
connect to internal GND planes at these locations, due to  
their proximity to internal power handling components.  
The optimum number of thermal vias depends upon the  
printed circuit board design. For example, a board might  
use very small via holes. It should employ more thermal  
vias than a board that uses larger holes.  
Ensurethatthegroundingandheatsinkingareacceptable.  
A few rules to keep in mind are:  
1. Place the R resistor as close as possible to its re-  
T
spective pins.  
2. Place the C and C  
capacitor as close as possible  
IN  
VCC  
to the V and GND connections of the LTM8042/

of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1.

Thermal Considerations  
Whilethemeaningofeachofthesecoefficientsmayseemto  
beintuitive,JEDEChasdefinedeachtoavoidconfusionand  
inconsistency. These definitions are given in JESD 51-12,  
and are quoted or paraphrased in the following:  
The LTM8042/LTM8042-1 output current may need to be  
derated if it is required to operate in a high ambient tem-  
perature or deliver a large amount of continuous power.  
The amount of current derating is dependent upon the  
inputvoltage,outputpowerandambienttemperature.The  
temperature rise curves given in the Typical Performance  
Characteristicssectioncanbeusedasaguide.Thesecurves  
weregenerated by an LTM8042/LTM8042-1 mounted to a

enclosure.Thisenvironmentissometimesreferredtoas

an actual application or viable operating condition.

sizesandlayercountcanexhibitdifferentthermalbehavior,  
soitisin-cumbentupontheusertoverifyproperoperation  
over the intended system’s line, load and environmental  
operating conditions.  
2. θ  
is the junction-to-board thermal resistance  
JCBOTTOM  
with all of the component power dissipation flowing  
through the bottom of the package. In the typical  
µModule regulator, the bulk of the heat flows out the  
bottom of the package, but there is always heat flow  
out into the ambient environment. As a result, this  
thermal resistance value may be useful for comparing  
packages but the test conditions don’t generally match  
the user’s application.  
ThethermalresistancenumberslistedinthePinConfigura-  
tion section of the data sheet are based on modeling the  
µModule package mounted on a test board specified per  
JESD51-9 (“Test Boards for Area Array Surface Mount  
Package Thermal Measurements”). The thermal coef-  
ficients provided are based on JESD 51-12 (“Guidelines  
for Reporting and Using Electronic Package Thermal  
Information”).  
3. θ  
is determined with nearly all of the component  
JCTOP  
power dissipation flowing through the top of the  
package. As the electrical connections of the typical  
µModule regulator are on the bottom of the package,  
it is rare for an application to operate such that most of  
the heat flows from the junction to the top of the part.  
For increased accuracy and fidelity to the actual applica-  
tion, many designers use finite element analysis (FEA) to  
predict thermal performance. To that end, the Pin Con-  
figuration section of the data sheet typically gives four  
thermal coefficients:  
As in the case of θ  
, this value may be useful  
JCBOTTOM  
for comparing packages but the test conditions don’t  
generally match the user’s application.  
1. θ : thermal resistance from junction to ambient.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
The most appropriate way to use the coefficients is when  
running a detailed thermal analysis, such as FEA, which  
considers all of the thermal resistances simultaneously.  
None of them can be individually used to accurately pre-  
dict the thermal performance of the product, so it would  
be inappropriate to attempt to use any one coefficient to  
correlate to the junction temperature versus load graphs  
given in the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 data sheet.  
The die temperature of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 must be  
lower than the maximum rating of 125°C, so care should  
be taken in the layout of the circuit to ensure good heat  
sinking of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1. The bulk of the  
heat flow out of the LTM8042/LTM8042-1 is through the  
bottom of the module and the LGA pads into the printed  
circuit board. Consequently, a poor printed circuit board  
design can cause excessive heating, resulting in impaired  
performance or reliability. Please refer to the PCB Layout  
section for printed circuit board design suggestions.  
A graphical representation of these thermal resistances  
is given in Figure 5.  
The blue resistances are contained within the µModule  
regulator, and the green are outside.
