LT3791  
60V 4-Switch Synchronous  
Buck-Boost LED Driver  
Controller  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LT®3791 is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost LED  
driver and voltage regulator controller. The controller  
operates from input voltages above, below, or equal to  
the output voltage. The LT3791 has a wide 4.7V to 60V  
input and 0V to 60V output range along with seamless  
transitions between operating modes. A ground reference  
voltage FB pin serves as the input for several LED protec-  
tion features and also makes it possible for the converter  
to operate as a constant-voltage source. The LT3791 is  
ideal for a wide variety of applications.

The LT3791 runs in forced continuous mode, which is  
ideal for systems with stringent EMI requirements. Fault  
protection is provided to survive and report an open or  
shorted LED condition. A timer allows the LT3791 to  
continue to run, latch off or restart when a fault occurs.

operating junction temperature range. The LT3791MP is guaranteed to  
meet performance specifications over the –55°C to 150°C operating  
junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating  
lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater  
than 125°C.  
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 ±: The LT3791E is guaranteed to meet performance from 0°C  
to 125°C junction temperature. Specification over the -40°C to  
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,  
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.  
The LT3791I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the  
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3791H is  
guaranteed to meet performance specifications over the –40°C to 150°C  
Note 3: The LT3791 includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed the maximum operating junction temperature  
when overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above  
the specified absolute maximum operating junction temperature may  
impair device reliability.

LT3791  
OPERATION  
The LT3791 is a current mode controller that provides an  
output voltage above, equal to or below the input voltage.  
TheLTC proprietarytopologyandcontrolarchitectureuses  
a current sensing resistor in buck or boost operation. The  
sensed inductor current is controlled by the voltage on  
the VC pin, which is the output of the feedback amplifiers  
A11 and A12. The VC pin is controlled by three inputs,  
one input from the output current loop, one input from the  
input current loop, and the third input from the feedback  
loop.Whicheverfeedbackinputishighertakesprecedence,  
forcing the converter into either a constant-current or a  
constant-voltage mode.  
slowlychargedduringstart-up. Thissoft-startclamping  
prevents abrupt current from being drawn from the input  
power supply. The SS can also be used as a fault timer  
whenever an open or shorted LED is detected.  
The top MOSFET drivers are biased from floating boot-  
strap capacitors C1 and C2, which are normally recharged  
through an external diode when the top MOSFET is turned  
off. Schottky diodes across the synchronous switch M4  
and synchronous switch M2 are not required, but they do  
provide a lower drop during the dead time. The addition  
of the Schottky diode typically improves peak efficiency  
by 1ꢀ to 2ꢀ at 500kHz.  
The LT3791 is designed to transition cleanly between  
the two modes of operation. Current sense amplifier A1  
senses the voltage between the IVINP and IVINN pins and  
provides a pre-gain to amplifier A11. When the voltage  
between IVINP and IVINN reaches 50mV, the output of A1  
provides IVINMON_INT to the inverting input of A11 and  
the converter is in constant-current mode. If the current  
sense voltage exceeds 50mV, the output of A1 increases  
causing the output of A11 to decrease, thus reducing the  
amount of current delivered to the output. In this manner  
the current sense voltage is regulated to 50mV.  
Power Switch Control  
Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of how the four  
power switches are connected to the inductor, V , V  
IN OUT  
and GND. Figure 2 shows the regions of operation for the  
LT3791 as a function of duty cycle D. The power switches  
are properly controlled so the transfer between regions is  
continuous. When V approaches V , the buck-boost  
IN  
OUT  
region is reached.  
V
IN  
V
OUT  
The output current amplifier works similar to the input  
current amplifier but with a 100mV voltage instead of  
50mV. The output current sense level is also adjustable  
by the CTRL pin. Forcing CTRL to less than 1.2V forces  
ISMON_INT to the same level as CTRL, thus providing  
current-levelcontrol.Theoutputcurrentamplifierprovides  
rail-to-rail operation. Similarly if the FB pin goes above  
1.2V the output of A11 decreases to reduce the current  
level and regulate the output (constant-voltage mode).

The LT3791 runs in forced continuous mode. In this mode  
the controller behaves as a continuous, PWM current  
mode synchronous switching regulator. In boost opera-  
tion, switch M1 is always on, switch M3 and synchronous  
switch M4 are alternately turned on to maintain the output  
voltage independent of the direction of inductor current.  
In buck operation, synchronous switch M4 is always on,  
switch M1 and synchronous switch M2 are alternately  
turned on to maintain the output voltage independent of  
the direction of inductor current. In this mode, the output  
can source or sink current.  
Switch M1 is always on and synchronous switch M2 is  
always off in boost operation. Every cycle switch M3 is  
turned on first. Inductor current is sensed when synchro-  
nous switch M3 is turned on. After the sensed inductor  
currentexceedsthereferencevoltagewhichisproportional  
to VC, switch M3 turns off and synchronous switch M4  
is turned on for the remainder of the cycle. Switches M3  
and M4 alternate, behaving like a typical synchronous  
boost regulator.

duty cycle of the converter in boost operation reaches

a voltage higher than 1.2V to get the full-scale 100mV  
(typical) threshold across the sense resistor. The CTRL  
pin can also be used to dim the LED current, although  
relative accuracy decreases with the decreasing sense  
threshold. When the CTRL pin voltage is less than 1V,  
the LED current is:  
The presence of a time varying differential voltage signal  
(ripple) across ISP and ISN at the switching frequency  
is expected. The amplitude of this signal is increased by  
high LED load current, low switching frequency and/or a  
smaller value output filter capacitor. Some level of ripple  
signal is acceptable: the compensation capacitor on the  
VC pin filters the signal so the average difference between  
ISP and ISN is regulated to the user-programmed value.  
Ripple voltage amplitude (peak-to-peak) in excess of  
20mV should not cause mis-operation, but may lead to  
noticeable offset between the average value and the user-  
programmed value.

There are two methods to control the current source for  
dimming using the LT3791. One method uses the CTRL  
pin to adjust the current regulated in the LEDs. A second  
method uses the PWM pin to modulate the current source  
between zero and full current to achieve a precisely pro-  
grammed average current. To make PWM dimming more  
accurate, the switch demand current is stored on the VC  
node during the quiescent phase when PWM is low. This  
featureminimizesrecoverytimewhenthePWM signalgoes  
high. To further improve the recovery time a disconnect  
switch may be used in the LED current path to prevent the  
ISP node from discharging during the PWM signal low  
phase. The minimum PWM on- or off-time is affected by  
choice of operating frequency and external component  
selection. The best overall combination of PWM and  
analog dimming capabilities is available if the minimum  
PWM pulse is at least six switching cycles and the PWM  
pulse is synchronized to the SYNC signal.

start-up the LT3791 ignores the voltage on the FB pin

false tripping after startup, a large enough soft-start  
capacitor must be used to allow the output to get up to  
approximately 40ꢀ to 50ꢀ of the final value.  
The SS pin is also used as a fault timer. Once an open  
LED or a shorted LED fault is detected, a 1.4µA pull-down  
current source is activated. With a 100k pull-up resistor  
to V on the SS pin, the LT3791 will continue to switch  
REF  
normally. With a 500k pull-up resistor to V on the SS  
REF  
pin, the LT3791 will latch off until the EN/UVLO pin is  
OPENLED Pin  
toggled. Without any resistor to V  
the SS pin enters

a hiccup mode operation. The 1.4µA pulls SS down until  
0.2V is reached, at which point the 14µA pull-up current  
sourceturnson. Ifthefaultconditionhasn’tbeenremoved  
when SS reaches 1.75V, then the 1.4µA pull-down cur-  
rent source turns on again initiating a new cycle. This will  
continue until the fault is removed.  
The LT3791 provides an open-drain status pin, OPENLED,  
which pulls low when the FB pin is above 1.15V and the  
voltage across V  
is less than 10mV. If the open  
(ISP-ISN)  
LED clamp voltage is programmed correctly using the FB  
pin, then the FB pin should never exceed 1.1V when the  
LEDs are connected. Therefore, the only way for the FB  
pin to exceed 1.15V is for an open LED event to occur.

Top Gate (TG) MOSFET Driver Supply (C1, D1, C±, D±)  
The external bootstrap capacitors C1 and C2 connected  
to the BST1 and BST2 pins supply the gate drive voltage  
for the topside MOSFET switches M1 and M4. When the  
top MOSFET switch M1 turns on, the switch node SW1

have low ESR to minimize the AC I R loss and sufficient

Efficiency Considerations  
5. Other losses. Schottky diode D3 and D4 are respon-  
sible for conduction losses during dead time and light  
load conduction periods. Inductor core loss occurs  
predominately at light loads. Switch M3 causes reverse  
recovery current loss in boost operation.  
The power efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to  
the output power divided by the input power times 100ꢀ.  
It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine  
what is limiting the efficiency and which change would  
produce the most improvement. Although all dissipative  
elements in circuits produce losses, four main sources  
account for most of the losses in LT3791 circuits:  
Whenmakingadjustmentstoimproveefficiency,theinput  
current is the best indicator of changes in efficiency. If you  
make a change and the input current decreases, then the  
efficiency has increased. If there is no change in the input  
current, then there is no change in efficiency.

1. DC I R losses. These arise from the resistances of the  
MOSFETs, sensing resistor, inductor and PC board  
traces and cause the efficiency to drop at high output  
currents.
