DescripTion
The LT®3760 is an 8-channel LED driver with a step-up
DC/DC controller capable of driving up to 45V of LEDs.
Each channel contains an accurate current sink with ±±2
currentmatching.Channelsfollowamasterprogrammable
current to allow between ±0mA to 100mA of LED current
per string. Channels can be paralleled for higher LED

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.
LT3760I 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 LT3760E 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

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.

from a logic level output, requiring less than 0.6V for a
logic level low and greater than ±.±V for a logic level high.

Some general guidelines for LED current dimming using
the PWM pin (see Figure 5):
analog dimming is that reducing LED current to reduce
the brightness of the LED also changes the perceived

Manyapplicationsrequireanaccuratecontrolofthebright-

constant color over the entire dimming range can be just
as critical. For constant color LED dimming the LT3760
providesaPWMpinandspecialinternalcircuitrytoachieve

by operating the LED at it’s programmed current and then
controlling the on time of that LED current. The duty cycle
of the PWM pin controls the on time of each LED pin cur-

(low PWM duty cycles) it is important to be able to turn
LED currents on/off as quickly as possible. For PWM low,
the LT3760 turns off the boost converter, turns off all LED

and to avoid visible flicker which can occur for display

with temperature dependent resistance (Figures 7 and 8).
A variety of resistor networks and NTC resistors with dif-
ferent temperature coefficients can be used to achieve the
desired CTRL pin voltage behaviour versus temperature.
The current derating curve in Figure 6 uses the resistor
network shown in option A of Figure 7.
LED datasheets provide curves of maximum allowed
LED current versus ambient temperature to warn against
damaging of the LED (Figure 6). The LT3760 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 502
orlessoftheirmaximumratedcurrents.TheLT3760allows
the temperature breakpoint and the slope of LED current
versus ambient temperature to be programmed using a
simple resistor network shown in Figure 7.

of an NTC resistor can be non-linear over a wide range of
temperatures it is important to obtain a resistor’s exact
values over temperature from the manufacturer. Hand
calculations of CTRL voltage can then be performed at
each given temperature and the resulting CTRL voltage
plotted versus temperature.
Without the ability to back off LED current as the ambient
temperature of the LED(s) increases, many LED drivers
are limited to driving the LED(s) at only 502 or less of
their maximum rated currents. This limitation requires
more LEDs to obtain the intended brightness for the ap-

The LT3760 contains a special programmable thermal

of the part. Since the LT3760 topology consists of a single
boostcontrollerwitheightlinearcurrentsources, anyLED
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 LT3760 will automatically protect itself

IfcalculationofCTRLvoltageatvarioustemperaturesgives

temperature independent resistance to reduce the effects
of the NTC resistor over temperature. Murata Electronics
provides a selection of NTC resistors with complete data
over a wide range of temperatures. In addition, a software
tool is available which allows the user to select from
different resistor networks and NTC resistor values and

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 LT3760 begins to
linearly reduce the LED current, as needed, to try and
maintain this temperature. This can only be achieved
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 52 of the full LED current.
