LED Driver  
FeaTures  
DescripTion  
The LT®3760 is an 8-channel LED driver with a step-up  
DC/DC controller capable of driving up to 45V of LEDs.  
Each channel contains an accurate current sink with ±±2  
currentmatching.Channelsfollowamasterprogrammable  
current to allow between ±0mA to 100mA of LED current  
per string. Channels can be paralleled for higher LED

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.  
LT3760I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from  
- 40°C to 1±5°C junction temperature.  
Note 3: For Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature, see  
Thermal Calculations in the Applications Information section.  
Note 2: The LT3760E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from 0°C to 1±5°C junction temperature. Specifications over the -40°C  
to 1±5°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,  
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The

The external diode for the LT3760 boost converter must  
be a Schottky diode, with low forward voltage drop  
and fast switching speed. Table 3 lists several Schottky  
manufacturers. The diodes average current rating must  
exceed the application’s average output current. The  
diode’s maximum reverse voltage must exceed the  
maximum output voltage of the application. For PWM  
dimming applications be aware of the reverse leakage of  
the Schottky diode. Lower leakage current will drain the  
output capacitor less during PWM low periods, allowing  
for higher PWM dimming ratios. The companies below

factors. Higher frequency allows reduction of inductor  
size but efficiency drops due to higher switching losses.  
Lower frequency allows higher operational duty cycles to

this topology to be fully realized. This thermal regulation

The operation of the thermal loop is simple. As the ambi-  
ent temperature increases, so does the internal junction  
temperature of the part. Once the programmed maximum  
junction temperature is reached, the LT3760 begins to  
linearly reduce the LED current, as needed, to try and  
maintain this temperature. This can only be achieved  
when the ambient temperature stays below the desired  
maximum junction temperature. If the ambient tempera-  
ture continues to rise past the programmed maximum  
junction temperature, the LEDs current will be reduced  
to approximately 52 of the full LED current.

minimize MOSFET peak current sensing errors the sense

pin and the power ground copper area near the pin. The  
MOSFET drain rise and fall times are designed to be as  
short as possible for maximum efficiency. To reduce the  
effects of both radiated and conducted noise, the area of  
the copper trace for the MOSFET drain should be kept as  
small as possible. Use a ground plane under the switching  
regulator to minimize interplane coupling. The Schottky  
diode and output capacitor should be placed as close as  
possible to the drain node to minimize this high switching  
frequency path.
