DESCRIPTIO  
FEATURES  
True Color PWMTM Dimming Delivers Up to 5000:1  
The LT®3476 is a quad output DC/DC converter designed  
to operate as a constant-current source for driving high  
currentLEDs.Axedfrequency,currentmodearchitecture  
results in stable operation over a wide range of supply and  
output voltages. A frequency adjust pin allows the user to  
program switching frequency between 200kHz and 2MHz  
to optimize efficiency and external component size.  
Dimming Ratio (In Boost Configuration)  
LED Current Regulation with High-Side Sense  
VADJ Pin Accurately Sets LED Current Sense  
Threshold Over Range 10mV to 120mV  
Four Independent Driver Channels with 1.5A, 36V  
Internal NPN Switches  
Frequency Adjust Pin: 200kHz to 2MHz  
The LT3476 senses output current at the high side of  
the LED. High side current sensing is the most flexible  
scheme for driving LEDs, allowing buck, boost or buck-  
boost configurations. Each current monitor threshold is  
trimmed to within 2.5% at the full scale of 105mV. With  
an external sense resistor, the user programs the output  
current range of each channel. Each of the four regulators  
is independently operated by that channel’s PWM signal.  
This PWM feature allows precise adjustment of the color  
mixing or dimming ratio of the LED source. Dimming  
ratios up to 1000:1 can be achieved.

Note 3: The LT3476E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to  
85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range  
are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical  
process controls.  
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.  
Note 2: This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction  
temperature may impair device reliability.

OPERATIO  
TheLT3476isaconstant-frequency, currentmoderegula-  
tor with an internal power switch. Operation can be best  
understood by referring to the Block Diagram. At the  
start of each oscillator cycle, the SR latch is set, which  
turns on the Q1 power switch. A voltage proportional to  
the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the  
resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM  
comparator, A2. When this voltage exceeds the level at  
the negative input of A2, the SR latch is reset, turning off  
the power switch. The level at the negative input of A2 is  
set by the error amplifier A1, and is simply an amplified  
version of the difference between the voltage across the

protection feature to adequately protect the switch, it is  
important that the CAP input sample a voltage at or near  
the highest voltage reached by the SW node. As a result,  
this OVP function will not provide adequate protection  
from open load events in isolated power configurations  
such as the 1:1 flyback, since input and output voltage  
magnitudes must be summed to obtain the voltage seen  
by the switch.  
The high speed operation of the LT3476 demands careful  
attentiontoboardlayout.Severalitemsareworthyofnote.  
The exposed pad of the package is the only GND terminal  
of the IC and is also important to thermal management  
for the IC, so it is crucial to achieve a good electrical and  
thermal contact between the exposed pad and the ground  
plane of the board. Also, the Schottky rectifier and the  
capacitor between GND at the cathode of the Schottky  
are in the high frequency switching path where current  
flow is discontinuous. These elements should be placed  
so as to minimize the path between SW and the GND of  
the IC. To reduce EMI, it is important to minimize the area  
of the SW trace. Use a GND plane under SW to minimize  
interplane coupling to sensitive signals. To obtain good  
currentregulationaccuracyandeliminatesourcesofchan-  
nel-to-channel coupling, the CAP and LED inputs of each  
channel of the LT3476 should be run as separate lines  
back to the terminals of the appropriate sense resistor.  
Since there is a small DC input bias current (~50μA) to  
the LED and CAP inputs, resistance in series with these  
inputs should be minimized, otherwise there will be an

Open-Circuit Protection/Overvoltage Lockout  
Characteristics for resistor values and corresponding  
The LT3476 has independent internal overvoltage/open-  
circuit protection (OVP) for all four converters, sensed  
through their respective CAP inputs. The purpose of the  
OVP feature is to protect the main switch of the device  
from damage. In the boost configuration, if the LEDs are  
disconnected from the circuit or fail open, the converter  
output voltage at CAP is clamped at the OVP voltage of  
35V (typ). Figure 1 shows the transient response of the  
step-up converter application with LED1 disconnected.  
With LED1 disconnected, the converter switches at cur-  
rent limit as the output ramps up to OVP. Upon reaching  
the OVP clamp voltage, the converter will switch with a  
reduced current limit to regulate the converter output  
voltage at the OVP clamp. In the buck mode application  
shown in the Block Diagram, should the external supply  
for CAP exceed the OVP clamp, then switching will be  
inhibited for the converter. In order for the overvoltage  
switching frequencies.

In general, a lower switching frequency should be used  
whereeitherveryhighorverylowswitchdutycycleopera-  
tion is required, or higher efficiency is desired. Selection  
of a higher switching frequency will allow use of smaller  
value external components and yield a smaller solution  
size and profile. Also for high frequency PWM dimming,  
a higher switching frequency (shorter switching period)

switch, the state of the PWM pin is sampled only during a

Input Capacitor Selection  
For proper operation, it is necessary to place a bypass  
capacitor to GND close to the V pin of the LT3476. A  
IN  
F, or greater, capacitor with low ESR should be used.  
Inductor Selection  
A ceramic capacitor is usually the best choice.

power converter has large pulsed currents due to the cur-

Ceramic type capacitors using X7R dielectric are best for  
temperature and DC bias stability of the capacitor value.  
All ceramic capacitors exhibit loss of capacitance value  
with increasing DC voltage bias, so it may be necessary to  
choose a higher value capacitor or larger case size to get  
the required capacitance at the operating voltage. Always  
check that the voltage rating of the capacitor is sufficient.

capacitor. In the buck configuration, an additional tech-  
nique is available. The filter capacitor between the CAP  
node and the LED bottom (see the Typical Application on  
the first page) can be moved to between the LED top and  
the LED bottom. This circuit change places the inductor  
ripple current through the sense resistor, which improves  
pulse-skipping behavior. There is usually less than 1%  
impact to the current regulation point.

Programming the LED Current  
Dimming Control  
The LED Current is programmed using an external sense  
resistor in series with the load. This method allows flex-  
ibility in driving the load (i.e., sensing one of several  
parallel strings) while maintaining good accuracy. The  
There are two methods to control the current source for  
dimming using the LT3476. The first method, popular  
with LED applications, uses the PWM pin to modulate the  
current source between zero and full current to achieve  
a precisely programmed average current. To make this  
method of current control more accurate, during the qui-  
escent phase the switch demand current is stored on the  
V

ADJ  
the external sense resistor between 10mV and 120mV.  
A 1.05V reference output (REF) is provided to drive the  
V node. This feature minimizes recovery time when the  
V

PWM low or high time should be at least ten switching  
cycles. This guideline has two reasons: first to allow the  
outputtoreachsteadystatebeforeshuttingoff,andsecond  
because the oscillator is not synchronized to the PWM  
signal and there may be as much as one switching cycle  
delay from PWM going high to the start of switching. This  
delay, however, does not apply to the negative transition  
of the PWM signal. The minimum PWM low/high time can  
be reduced to five switching cycles if a disconnect switch  
is used in the LED current path.  
to a voltage higher than 1.25V, the default regulation  
threshold across CAP and LED is 125mV (typ). The V

pin can also be used in conjunction with a PTC thermistor  
to provide overtemperature protection for the LED load  
as shown in Figure 2.
