DESCRIPTIO  
FEATURES  
True Color PWMTM Delivers Constant Color with  
The LT®3475/LT3475-1 are dual step-down DC/DC  
converters designed to operate as a constant-current  
source. An internal sense resistor monitors the output  
current allowing accurate current regulation ideal for  
driving high current LEDs. The high side current sense al-  
lowsgroundedcathodeLEDoperation.Highoutputcurrent  
accuracy is maintained over a wide current range, from  
50mA to 1.5A, allowing a wide dimming range. Unique  
PWM circuitry allows a dimming range of 3000:1, avoid-  
ing the color shift normally associated with LED current  
dimming.  
3000:1 Dimming Range  
Wide Input Range: 4V to 36V Operating, 40V  
Maximum  
Accurate and Adjustable Control of LED Current  
from 50mA to 1.5A  
High Side Current Sense Allows Grounded Cathode  
LED Operation  
Open LED (LT3475) and Short Circuit Protection  
LT3475-1 Drives LED Strings Up to 25V  
Accurate and Adjustable 200kHz to 2MHz  
Switching Frequency  
The high switching frequency offers several advantages,  
permitting the use of small inductors and ceramic capaci-  
tors. Small inductors combined with the 20 lead TSSOP  
surface mount package save space and cost versus  
alternative solutions. The constant switching frequency  
combined with low-impedance ceramic capacitors result  
in low, predictable output ripple.  
Anti-Phase Switching Reduces Ripple  
Uses Small Inductors and Ceramic Capacitors  
Available in the Compact 20-Lead TSSOP Thermally  
Enhanced Surface Mount Package

PWM architecture provides fast transient response and  
cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Frequency foldback and  
thermal shutdown provide additional protection.

OPERATION  
The LT3475 is a dual constant frequency, current mode  
regulator with internal power switches capable of gen-  
erating constant 1.5A outputs. Operation can be best  
understood by referring to the Block Diagram.  
programming of LED pin currents of less than 1.5A. LED  
pin current can also be programmed by tying the V pin  
ADJ  
directly to a voltage source.  
An LED can be dimmed with pulse width modulation  
using the PWM pin and an external NFET. If the PWM  
pin is unconnected or is pulled high, the part operates  
If the SHDN pin is tied to ground, the LT3475 is shut  
down and draws minimal current from the input source  
nominally. If the PWM pin is pulled low, the V pin is dis-  
tied to V . If the SHDN pin exceeds 1V, the internal bias

current from the compensation capacitor. Circuitry draw-  
ing current from the OUT pin is also disabled. This way,  
circuits turn on, including the internal regulator, reference  
and oscillator. The switching regulators will only begin to  
operate when the SHDN pin exceeds 2.6V.

This leads to a highly linear relationship between pulse

Inductor Selection and Maximum Output Current  
A good first choice for the inductor value is:  
1.2MHz  
L = (VOUT + VF )•  
f
where V is the voltage drop of the catch diode (~0.4V),  
F
10  
f is the switching frequency and L is in μH. With this value  
the maximum load current will be above 1.6A at all duty  
cycles. The inductor’s RMS current rating must be greater  
than the maximum load current and its saturation current  
should be at least 30% higher. For highest efficiency,  
the series resistance (DCR) should be less than 0.15Ω.  
Table 2 lists several vendors and types that are suitable.

LT3475/LT3475-1  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Thecurrentintheinductorisatrianglewavewithanaverage  
value equal to the load current. The peak switch current  
is equal to the output current plus half the peak-to-peak  
inductor ripple current. The LT3475 limits its switch cur-  
rentinordertoprotectitselfandthesystemfromoverload  
faults. Therefore, the maximum output current that the  
LT3475 will deliver depends on the switch current limit,  
the inductor value, and the input and output voltages.  
Input Capacitor Selection  
Bypass the input of the LT3475 circuit with a 4.7μF or  
higher ceramic capacitor of X7R or X5R type. A lower  
value or a less expensive Y5V type will work if there is  
additional bypassing provided by bulk electrolytic capaci-  
tors or if the input source impedance is low. The following  
paragraphs describe the input capacitor considerations in  
more detail.  
When the switch is off, the potential across the inductor  
is the output voltage plus the catch diode drop. This gives  
the peak-to-peak ripple current in the inductor  
Step-down regulators draw current from the input supply  
in pulses with very fast rise and fall times. The input ca-  
pacitor is required to reduce the resulting voltage ripple at  
the LT3475 input and to force this switching current into a  
tight local loop, minimizing EMI. The input capacitor must  
have low impedance at the switching frequency to do this  
effectively, and it must have an adequate ripple current rat-  
ing. With two switchers operating at the same frequency  
but with different phases and duty cycles, calculating the  
input capacitor RMS current is not simple. However, a

Choosing an inductor value so that the ripple current is  
smallwillallowamaximumoutputcurrentneartheswitch  
current limit.  
The high frequency of the LT3475 reduces the energy  
storage requirements of the input capacitor, so that the  
capacitance required is less than 10μF. The combination  
of small size and low impedance (low equivalent series  
resistance or ESR) of ceramic capacitors makes them the  
preferred choice. The low ESR results in very low voltage  
ripple. Ceramic capacitors can handle larger magnitudes  
of ripple current than other capacitor types of the same  
value. Use X5R and X7R types.  
One approach to choosing the inductor is to start with the  
simple rule given above, look at the available inductors,  
and choose one to meet cost or space goals. Then use  
these equations to check that the LT3475 will be able to  
deliver the required output current. Note again that these  
equations assume that the inductor current is continu-  
ous. Discontinuous operation occurs when I  
is less

LT3475/LT3475-1  
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
An alternative to a high value ceramic capacitor is a  
lower value ceramic along with a larger electrolytic  
capacitor.Theelectrolyticcapacitorlikelyneedstobegreater  
than 10μF in order to meet the ESR and ripple current  
requirements. The input capacitor is likely to see high  
surge currents when the input source is applied. Tanta-  
lum capacitors can fail due to an over-surge of current.  
Only use tantalum capacitors with the appropriate surge  
current rating. The manufacturer may also recommend  
operation below the rated voltage of the capacitor.  
RMS current rating of the output capacitor is usually not  
of concern. It can be estimated with the formula:  
IC(RMS) = ΔIL / 12  
The low ESR and small size of ceramic capacitors make  
them the preferred type for LT3475 applications. Not all  
ceramic capacitors are the same, however. Many of the  
higher value capacitors use poor dielectrics with high  
temperature and voltage coefficients. In particular Y5V  
and Z5U types lose a large fraction of their capacitance  
with applied voltage and at temperature extremes.  
Because loop stability and transient response depend on  
A final caution is in order regarding the use of ceramic  
capacitors at the input. A ceramic input capacitor can  
combine with stray inductance to form a resonant tank  
circuit. If power is applied quickly (for example by plug-  
ging the circuit into a live power source) this tank can ring,  
doubling the input voltage and damaging the LT3475. The  
solution is to either clamp the input voltage or dampen the  
tank circuit by adding a lossy capacitor in parallel with the  
ceramic capacitor. For details, see Application Note 88.

Output Capacitor Selection  
For most LEDs, a 2.2μF, 6.3V ceramic capacitor (X5R or  
X7R) at the output results in very low output voltage ripple  
and good transient response. Other types and values will  
also work. The following discusses tradeoffs in output  
ripple and transient performance.  
Diode Selection  
The catch diode (D3 from the Block Diagram) conducts  
current only during switch off time. Average forward cur-  
rent in normal operation can be calculated from:  
The output capacitor filters the inductor current to  
generate an output with low voltage ripple. It also stores  
energy in order to satisfy transient loads and stabilizes the  
LT3475’s control loop. Because the LT3475 operates at a  
high frequency, minimal output capacitance is necessary.  
In addition, the control loop operates well with or without  
the presence of output capacitor series resistance (ESR).  
Ceramic capacitors, which achieve very low output ripple  
and small circuit size, are therefore an option.

The only reason to consider a diode with a larger current  
rating than necessary for nominal operation is for the  
worst-case condition of shorted output. The diode cur-  
rent will then increase to one half the typical peak switch  
current limit.  
Peak reverse voltage is equal to the regulator input  
voltage. Use a diode with a reverse voltage rating greater  
than the input voltage. Table 4 lists several Schottky  
diodes and their manufacturers.  
You can estimate output ripple with the following  
equation:  
Diode reverse leakage can discharge the output capacitor  
during LED off times while PWM dimming. If operating at  
high ambient temperatures, use a low leakage Schottky  
for the widest PWM dimming range.

BOOST Pin Considerations  
The minimum operating voltage of an LT3475 application  
is limited by the undervoltage lockout (~3.7V) and by the  
maximum duty cycle. The boost circuit also limits the  
minimum input voltage for proper start up. If the input  
voltage ramps slowly, or the LT3475 turns on when the  
output is already in regulation, the boost capacitor may  
not be fully charged. Because the boost capacitor charges  
The capacitor and diode tied to the BOOST pin gener-  
ate a voltage that is higher than the input voltage. In  
most cases, a 0.22μF capacitor and fast switching diode  
(such as the CMDSH-3 or MMSD914LT1) will work well.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
with the energy stored in the inductor, the circuit will rely  
on some minimum load current to get the boost circuit  
running properly. This minimum load will depend on input  
and output voltages, and on the arrangement of the boost  
circuit. The minimum load current generally goes to zero  
once the circuit has started. The typical performance char-  
acteristics section shows a plot of minimum load to start  
and to run as a function of input voltage. Even without an  
output load current, in many cases the discharged output  
capacitor will present a load to the switcher that will allow  
the voltage on the V  
pin by tying a low on resistance  
ADJ  
FET to the resistor divider string. This allows the se-  
lection of two different LED currents. For reliable op-  
eration program an LED current of no less than 50mA.  
The maximum current dimming ratio (I  
) can be  
MAX  
RATIO  
calculated from the maximum LED current (I  
) and the  
minimum LED current (I ) as follows:  
MIN  
I
/I

Another dimming control circuit (Figure 8) uses the PWM  
pin and an external NFET tied to the cathode of the LED.  
An external PWM signal is applied to the PWM pin and the  
gate of the NFET (For PWM dimming ratios of 20 to 1 or  
less, theNFETcanbeomitted). TheaverageLEDcurrentis  
proportionaltothedutycycleofthePWMsignal.Whenthe  
PWM signal goes low, the NFET turns off, turning off the  
LED and leaving the output capacitor charged. The PWM

ramping very slowly.

Programming LED Current  
The LED current can be set by adjusting the voltage on the  
V
pin. For a 1.5A LED current, either tie V to REF or  
ADJ  
ADJ  
to a 1.25V source. For lower output currents, program the

Voltages less than 1.25V can be generated with a voltage  
divider from the REF pin, as shown in Figure 6. In order  
to have accurate LED current, precision resistors are  
preferred (1% or better is recommended). Note that the

high again, the LED current returns rapidly to its previous

at the correct voltage. This fast settling time allows the  
V
pin sources a small amount of bias current, so use

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
LT3475 to maintain diode current regulation with PWM

Layout Hints  
As with all switching regulators, careful attention must  
be paid to the PCB layout and component placement. To  
maximize efficiency, switch rise and fall times are made  
as short as possible. To prevent electromagnetic interfer-  
ence (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high frequency  
switching path is essential. The voltage signal of the SW  
and BOOST pins have sharp rise and fall edges. Minimize  
the area of all traces connected to the BOOST and SW  
pins and always use a ground plane under the switching  
regulator to minimize interplane coupling. In addition, the  
f
= 600kHz). Maximum PWM period is determined by  
SW  
the system and is unlikely to be longer than 12ms. Using  
PWM periods shorter than 100μs is not recommended.  
The maximum PWM dimming ratio (PWM  
) can be  
RATIO  
calculated from the maximum PWM period (t  
) and  
MAX  
minimum PWM pulse width (t ) as follows:
