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.  
LT3754I 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 LT3754E 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  
Note 4: GATE rise and fall times are measured between 10% and 90%  
of INTV voltage.

The external diode for the LT3754 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

Selecting the optimum frequency depends on several  
factors. Higher frequency allows reduction of inductor  
size but efficiency drops due to higher switching losses.  
Lower frequency allows higher operational duty cycles to  
drive a larger number of LEDs per string from a low input  
supply but require larger magnetics. In each application  
the switching frequency can be tailored to provide the  
optimum solution.

Programming LED Current Derating (Breakpoint and  
Slope) versus LED Ambient Temperature (CTRL Pin)  
with different temperature coefficients can be used to  
achieve the desired CTRL pin voltage behavior versus  
temperature. The current derating curve in Figure 6 uses  
the resistor network shown in option C of Figure 7.  
LED data sheets provide curves of maximum allowed  
LED current versus ambient temperature to warn against  
damaging of the LED (Figure 6). The LT3754 LED driver  
improves the utilization and reliability of the LED(s) by al-  
lowing the programming of an LED current derating curve  
versustheambienttemperatureoftheLED(s).Withoutthe  
ability to back off LED currents as temperature increases,  
many LED drivers are limited to driving the LED(s) at 50%  
or less of their maximum rated currents. This limitation  
requires more LEDs to obtain the intended brightness  
for the application. The LT3754 allows the LED(s) to be  
programmed for maximum allowable current while still

to the copper area associated with analog ground. To  
minimize MOSFET peak current sensing errors the sense  
resistor(RS)shouldhaveKelvinconnectionstotheSENSE  
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.  
The exposed pad on the bottom of the package must be  
soldered to the ground plane. The ground plane should  
be connected to an internal copper ground plane with vias  
placed directly under the package to spread out the heat  
generated by the LT3754.  
Circuit Layout Considerations  
As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be  
given to PCB layout and component placement to achieve  
optimal thermal, electrical and noise performance. The  
exposed pad of the LT3754 is the only ground connec-  
tion for the IC. The exposed pad should be soldered to a
