DESCRIPTION  
3000:1 True Color PWMTM Dimming  
TheLT®3756andLT3756-1areDC/DCcontrollersdesigned  
to operate as a constant-current source for driving high  
current LEDs. They drive a low side external N-channel  
power MOSFET from an internal regulated 7V supply. The  
fixedfrequency,current-modearchitectureresultsinstable  
operationoverawiderangeofsupplyandoutputvoltages.  
A ground referenced voltage FB pin serves as the input for  
severalLEDprotectionfeatures,andalsomakesitpossible  
for the converter to operate as a constant-voltage source.  
A frequency adjust pin allows the user to program the  
frequency from 100kHz to 1MHz to optimize efficiency,  
performance or external component size.

The LT3756/LT3756-1 sense output current at the high  
side of the LED string. High side current sensing is the  
most flexible scheme for driving LEDs, allowing boost,  
buck mode or buck-boost mode configuration. The PWM  
inputprovidesLEDdimmingratiosofupto3000:1,andthe  
CTRLinputprovidesadditionalanalogdimmingcapability.  
Both parts are available in the 16-lead QFN (3mm × 3mm)  
and MSOP packages.

OPERATION  
of the output state of the PWM comparator. Likewise, at  
an ISP/ISN common mode voltage less than 3V, the dif-  
ference between ISP and ISN is monitored to determine if  
the output is in a short-circuit condition. If the difference  
between ISP and ISN is greater than 150mV (typical), the  
SR latch will be reset regardless of the PWM comparator.  
These functions are intended to protect the power switch,  
as well as various external components in the power path  
of the DC/DC converter.  
TheLT3756isaconstant-frequency,currentmodecontrol-  
ler with a low side NMOS gate driver. The GATE pin and  
PWMOUT pin drivers, and other chip loads, are powered  
from INTV , which is an internally regulated supply. In  
CC  
the discussion that follows, it will be helpful to refer to  
the Block Diagram of the IC. In normal operation, with the  
PWM pin low, the GATE and PWMOUT pins are driven to  
GND, the VC pin is high impedance to store the previous  
switching state on the external compensation capacitor,  
and the ISP and ISN pin bias currents are reduced to  
leakage levels. When the PWM pin transitions high, the  
PWMOUT pin transitions high after a short delay. At the  
same time, the internal oscillator wakes up and gener-  
ates a pulse to set the PWM latch, turning on the external  
power MOSFET switch (GATE goes high). A voltage input  
proportional to the switch current, sensed by an external  
current sense resistor between the SENSE and GND input  
pins, is added to a stabilizing slope compensation ramp  
and the resulting “switch current sense” signal is fed into  
the positive terminal of the PWM comparator. The current  
in the external inductor increases steadily during the time  
the switch is on. When the switch current sense voltage  
exceeds the output of the error amplifier, labeled “VC”,  
the latch is reset and the switch is turned off. During the  
switch off phase, the inductor current decreases. At the  
completion of each oscillator cycle, internal signals such  
asslopecompensationreturntotheirstartingpointsanda  
new cycle begins with the set pulse from the oscillator.  
In voltage feedback mode, the operation is similar to that  
described above, except the voltage at the VC pin is set  
by the amplified difference of the internal reference of  
1.25V (nominal) and the FB pin. If FB is lower than the  
reference voltage, the switch current will increase; if FB  
is higher than the reference voltage, the switch demand  
current will decrease. The LED current sense feedback  
interacts with the FB voltage feedback so that FB will not  
exceed the internal reference and the voltage between ISP  
and ISN will not exceed the threshold set by the CTRL pin.  
For accurate current or voltage regulation, it is necessary  
to be sure that under normal operating conditions, the  
appropriate loop is dominant. To deactivate the voltage  
loop entirely, FB can be connected to GND. To deactivate  
the LED current loop entirely, the ISP and ISN should be  
tied together and the CTRL input tied to V  
.
REF  
Two LED specific functions featured on the LT3756 are  
controlled by the voltage feedback pin. First, when the  
FB pin exceeds a voltage 50mV lower (–4%) than the FB  
regulation voltage, the pull-down driver on the OPENLED  
pin is activated. This function provides a status indicator  
thattheloadmaybedisconnectedandtheconstant-voltage  
feedback loop is taking control of the switching regula-  
tor. When the FB pin exceeds the FB regulation voltage  
by 60mV (5% typical), the PWMOUT pin is driven low,  
ignoring the state of the PWM input. In the case where  
the PWMOUT pin drives a disconnect NFET, this action  
isolates the LED load from GND, preventing excessive  
current from damaging the LEDs. If the FB input exceeds  
both the open LED and the overvoltage (OV) thresholds,  
then an externally driven overvoltage event has caused  
the FB pin to be too high and the OPENLED pull-down  
will be deactivated and locked out until the FB pin drops  
below both thresholds.  
Through this repetitive action, the PWM control algorithm  
establishes a switch duty cycle to regulate a current or  
voltage in the load. The VC signal is integrated over many  
switching cycles and is an amplified version of the differ-  
ence between the LED current sense voltage, measured  
between ISP and ISN, and the target difference voltage  
set by the CTRL pin. In this manner, the error amplifier  
sets the correct peak switch current level to keep the  
LED current in regulation. If the error amplifier output  
increases, more current is demanded in the switch; if it  
decreases, less current is demanded. The switch current  
is monitored during the on-phase and the voltage across  
the SENSE pin is not allowed to exceed the current limit  
threshold of 108mV (typical). If the SENSE pin exceeds  
the current limit threshold, the SR latch is reset regardless

ISP/ISN Short-Circuit Protection Feature  
The ISP and ISN pins have a protection feature indepen-  
dent of the LED current sense feature that operates at  
ISN below 3V. The purpose of this feature is to provide  
continuous current sensing when ISN is below the LED  
current sense common mode range (during start-up or  
an output short-circuit fault) to prevent the development  
of excessive switching currents that could damage the  
power components. The action threshold (150mV, typ) is  
above the default LED current sense threshold, so that no  
interference will occur over the ISN voltage range where  
these two functions overlap. This feature acts in the same  
manner as SENSE current limitit prevents GATE from  
going high (switch turn-on) until the ISP/ISN difference  
falls below the threshold.

voltage of 100V. Careful attention must be paid to the  
internal power dissipation of the IC at higher input volt-  
ages to ensure that a junction temperature of 125°C is not

connected to GND.  
Open LED Detection (LT3756 Only)  
The LT3756 provides an open-drain status pin, OPENLED,  
that pulls low when the FB pin is within ~50mV of its  
1.25V regulated voltage. If the open LED clamp voltage  
is programmed correctly using the FB pin, then the FB  
pin should never exceed 1.1V when LEDs are connected,  
therefore, the only way for the FB pin to be within 50mV  
of the 1.24V regulation voltage is for an open LED event to  
haveoccurred. WhenanopenLEDfaultoccurs, theoutput  
may initially overshoot the FB regulation point by several  
percent,duetoslewratelimitationsonVCandtheabsence  
of any load on the output. In order to ensure the voltage  
on switching components remains below programmed  
limits, and to guarantee accurate reporting of the open  
LED fault, adding a silicon diode between OPENLED and  
SS is recommended, as well as a 10k resistor in series  
with the soft-start capacitor, if one is used.

A 10μF input capacitor is an appropriate selection for a  
400kHz buck mode converter with a 1A load.

TSS = CSS  
In the buck mode configuration, the input capacitor has  
large pulsed currents due to the current returned through  
the Schottky diode when the switch is off. In this buck  
convertercaseitisimportanttoplacethecapacitorasclose  
as possible to the Schottky diode and to the GND return  
of the switch (i.e., the sense resistor). It is also important  
to consider the ripple current rating of the capacitor. For  
best reliability, this capacitor should have low ESR and  
ESL and have an adequate ripple current rating. The RMS  
input current for a buck mode LED driver is:  
A typical value for the soft-start capacitor is 0.01μF. The  
soft-start pin reduces the oscillator frequency and the  
maximum current in the switch. The soft-start capacitor  
is discharged when SHDN/UVLO falls below its threshold,  
during an overtemperature event or during an INTV  
CC  
undervoltage event. During start-up with SHDN/UVLO,  
charging of the soft-start capacitor is enabled after the  
first PWM high period.

a V rating that exceeds the threshold set by the FB pin  
The selection of the output capacitor depends on the load  
and converter configuration, i.e., step-up or step-down  
and the operating frequency. For LED applications, the  
equivalent resistance of the LED is typically low and the  
output filter capacitor should be sized to attenuate the  
current ripple. Use of an X7R type ceramic capacitor is  
recommended.

To achieve the same LED ripple current, the required filter  
capacitor is larger in the boost and buck-boost mode ap-  
plications than that in the buck mode applications. Lower  
operating frequencies will require proportionately higher  
capacitor values.

the LT3756. Likewise, the ground terminal of the bypass  
capacitor for the INTV regulator should be placed near  
CC  
The high speed operation of the LT3756 demands careful  
attention to board layout and component placement. The  
Exposed Pad of the package is the only GND terminal of  
the IC and is also important for thermal management of  
the IC. It is crucial to achieve a good electrical and thermal  
contact between the Exposed Pad and the ground plane of  
theboard.Toreduceelectromagneticinterference(EMI),it  
isimportanttominimizetheareaofthehighdV/dtswitching  
node between the inductor, switch drain and anode of the  
Schottky rectifier. Use a ground plane under the switching  
node to eliminate interplane coupling to sensitive signals.  
The lengths of the high dI/dt traces: 1) from the switch  
node through the switch and sense resistor to GND, and  
2) from the switch node through the Schottky rectifier and  
filter capacitor to GND should be minimized. The ground  
points of these two switching current traces should come  
toacommonpointthenconnecttothegroundplaneunder  
the GND of the switching path. Typically, this requirement  
will result in the external switch being closest to the IC,  
along with the INTV bypass capacitor. The ground for  
CC  
the compensation network and other DC control signals  
should be star connected to the underside of the IC. Do  
not extensively route high impedance signals such as FB  
and VC, as they may pick up switching noise. In particular,  
avoid routing FB and PWMOUT in parallel for more than  
a few millimeters on the board. Since there is a small  
variable DC input bias current to the ISN and ISP inputs,  
resistance in series with these pins should be minimized  
to avoid creating an offset in the current sense threshold.  
Likewise, minimize resistance in series with the SENSE  
inputtoavoidchanges(mostlikelyreduction)totheswitch  
current limit threshold.
