6-String 30mA LED Driver  
with 1.5% Current Matching  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
TheLT®3598isaxedfrequencystep-upDC/DCconverter  
designed to drive up to six strings of LEDs at an output  
voltage up to 44V. LED dimming can be achieved with  
analog dimming on the CTRL pin, and with pulse width  
modulation dimming on the PWM pin. The LT3598  
accurately regulates LED current even when the input  
voltageishigherthantheLEDoutputvoltage.Theswitching  
frequency is programmable from 200kHz to 2.5MHz  
through an external resistor.

If the LED1-6 pin voltage is below 0.2V (for a certain delay

of the operation, the regulation will continue.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
LED Current Dimming  
For True Color PWMTM dimming, the LT3598 provides up  
to a 3000:1 PWM dimming range. This is achieved by  
allowing the duty cycle of the PWM pin (connected to  
the IC and an internal switch in series with the LED(s)),  
to be reduced from 100% to as low as 0.1% for a PWM  
frequency of 100Hz (Figure 6). PWM duty cycle dimming  
allows for constant LED color to be maintained over the  
entire dimming range.  
Two different types of dimming control can be used with  
the LT3598. The LED current can be set by modulating  
the CTRL pin or the PWM pin.  
For some applications, a variable DC voltage that adjusts  
the LED current is the preferred method of brightness  
control. The CTRL pin voltage can be modulated to set  
the dimming of the LED string (see Figures 4 and 5). As  
the voltage on the CTRL pin increases from 0V to 1.0V,  
the LED current increases from 0 to the programmed LED  
current level. As the CTRL pin voltage increases beyond  
1V, it has no effect on the LED current.  
For wide PWM dimming range, higher switching freq-  
uency and lower PWM frequency configuration are  
needed.Specialconsiderationsarerequiredforcomponent  
selection and compensation network. Please contact  
factory for optimized components selection if very high  
dimming ratio is desired.

then be performed at each given temperature, resulting  
in the CTRL versus temperature plotted curve. Several  
iterations of resistor value calculations may be required  
to achieve the desired breakpoint and slope of the LED

A useful feature of the LT3598 is its ability to program a

ture.LEDdatasheetsprovidecurvesofmaximum-allowable  
LED current versus temperature to warn against exceed-  
ing this current limit and damaging the LED. The LT3598  
allows the output LEDs to be programmed for maximum  
allowable current while still protecting the LEDs from  
excessive currents at high temperature. This is achieved  
by programming a voltage at the CTRL pin with a nega-  
tive temperature coefficient using a resistor divider with  
temperature dependent resistance (Figure 7). As ambient  
temperatureincreases, theCTRLvoltagewillfallbelowthe  
internal 1V voltage reference, causing LED currents to be  
controlled by the CTRL pin voltage. The LED current curve

If calculating the CTRL voltage at various temperatures  
gives a downward slope that is too strong, alternative  
resistor networks can be chosen (B, C, D in Figure 7)  
which use temperature independent resistance to reduce  
the effects of the NTC resistor overtemperature.  
Table 5 shows a list of manufacturers/distributors of  
NTC resistors. There are several other manufacturers  
available and the chosen supplier should be contacted  
for more detailed information. If an NTC resistor is used  
to indicate LED temperature, it is effective only if the  
resistor is connected as closely as possible to the LED  
strings. LED derating curves shown by manufacturers are  
listed for ambient temperature. The NTC resistor should  
have the same ambient temperature as the LEDs. Since

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Using the T Pin for Thermal Protection  
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 5% of the full LED current.  
SET  
The LT3598 contains a special programmable thermal  
regulationloopthatlimitstheinternaljunctiontemperature  
of the part. Since the LT3598 topology consists of a single  
boost converter with six linear current sources, any LED  
string voltage mismatch will cause additional power to be  
dissipatedinthepackage.Thistopologyprovidesexcellent  
current matching between LED strings and allows a single  
power stage to drive a large number of LEDs, but at the  
priceofadditionalpowerdissipationinsidethepart(which  
means a higher junction temperature). Being able to limit  
the maximum junction temperature allows the benefits of  
this topology to be fully realized. This thermal regulation  
featureprovidesimportantprotectionathighambienttem-  
peratures, and allows a given application to be optimized  
for typical, not worst-case, ambient temperatures with the  
assurance that the LT3598 will automatically protect itself  
and the LED strings under worst-case conditions.  
WhilethisfeatureisintendedtodirectlyprotecttheLT3598,  
it can also be used to derate the LED current at high tem-  
peratures. Since there is a direct relationship between the  
LED temperature and LT3598 junction temperature, the  
TSET function also provides some LED current derating  
at high temperatures.  
Two external resistors program the maximum IC junction  
temperature using a resistor divider from the V pin, as  
REF  
shown in Figure 8. Choose the ratio of R1 and R2 for the  
desired junction temperature. Figure 9 shows the relation-  
ship of T voltage to junction temperature, and Table 6  
SET  
shows commonly used values for R1 and R2.  
Table 6. TSET Junction Temperature  
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 LT3598 begins to  
linearly reduce the LED current, as needed, to try and  
maintain this temperature. This can only be achieved

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Programming Switching Frequency  
Switching Frequency Synchronization  
The switching frequency of the LT3598 should be pro-  
grammed between 200kHz and 2.5MHz by an external  
resistorconnectedbetweentheRTpinandground. Donot  
leave this pin open. See Table 7 and Figure 10 for resistor  
values and corresponding frequencies.  
The nominal operating frequency of the LT3598 is  
programmed using a resistor from the RT pin to ground  
and can be controlled over a 200kHz to 2.5MHz range. In  
addition, the internal oscillator can be synchronized to an  
external clock applied to the SYNC pin. The synchronizing  
clock signal input to the LT3598 must have a frequency  
between 240kHz and 3MHz, a duty cycle between 20%  
and 80%, a low state below 0.4V and a high state above  
1.5V. Synchronization signals outside of these parameters  
willcauseerraticswitchingbehavior.Forproperoperation,  
an RT resistor should be chosen to program a switching  
frequency 20% slower than the SYNC pulse frequency.  
Synchronization occurs at a fixed delay after the rising  
edge of SYNC.  
Selecting the optimum switching frequency depends  
on several factors. Inductor size is reduced with higher  
frequency, but efficiency drops slightly due to higher  
switching losses. In addition, some applications require  
very high duty cycles to drive a large number of LEDs from  
a low supply. Low switching frequency allows a greater  
operational duty cycle and, hence, a greater number of  
LEDs to be driven. In each case, the switching frequency  
can be tailored to provide the optimum solution. When  
programming the switching frequency, the total power  
losses within the IC should be considered.  
The SYNC pin should be grounded if the clock  
synchronization feature is not used. When the SYNC pin  
is grounded, the internal oscillator generates switching  
frequency to the converter.

For many applications, it is necessary to minimize the  
inrush current at start-up. The LT3598’s soft-start circuit  
significantly reduces the start-up current spike and output  
voltage overshoot. Before the SS pin voltage reaches 1V,  
the switching frequency will also fold back proportional  
to the SS pin voltage. A typical value for the soft-start  
capacitor is 10nF.

The OPENLED flag is only activated after the first PWM  
edge. The open LED detection is enabled only when the  
PWM signal is enabled. There is a delay for OPENLED  
flag generation when the PWM signal is enabled to avoid  
generating a spurious flag signal. The maximum current  
the OPENLED can sink is typically 2mA.  
Thermal Considerations  
The LT3598 provides six channels for LED strings with  
internalNPNdevicesservingasconstant-currentsources.  
WhenLEDstringsareregulated,thelowestLEDpinvoltage  
is typically 0.8V. The higher the programmed LED current,  
the more power dissipation in the LT3598. For 30mA LED  
programming current with a 100% PWM dimming ratio,  
at least 144mW is dissipated within the IC due to current  
sources. If the forward voltages of the six LED strings are  
verydissimilar, therecanbesignificantpowerdissipation.  
Thermal calculations shall include the power dissipation  
on current sources in addition to conventional switch DC  
loss, switch AC loss and input quiescent loss. For best

During start-up (see the Operation section), the open LED
