3000:1 True Color PWM™ Dimming for LEDs  
The LT®3761 is a DC/DC controller designed to operate as  
a constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator.  
ItfeaturesaprogrammableinternalPWMdimmingsignal.  
The LT3761 is ideally suited for driving high current LEDs,  
but also has features to make it suitable for charging bat-  
teries and supercapacitors. The fixed frequency, current  
mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide  
range of supply and output voltages. A voltage feedback  
pinservesastheinputforseveralLEDprotectionfeatures,  
and also makes it possible 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.

self-oscillate at fixed frequency with duty ratio program-  
mable from 4% to 96%. When driven by an external  
signal, the PWM input provides LED dimming ratios of  
up to 3000:1. The CTRL input provides additional analog  
dimming capability.

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 2: Do not apply a positive or negative voltage or current source to  
GATE or PWMOUT pins, otherwise permanent damage may occur.  
Note 3: The LT3761E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from the 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C  
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,  
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The  
LT3761I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction  
temperature range. The LT3761H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to  
150°C operating junction temperature range. Operating lifetime is derated  
at junction temperatures greater than 125°C.  
Note 4: The LT3761 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 maximum junction temperature may impair device reliability.  
Note 5: PWMOUT Duty Ratio is calculated:  
Duty = I  
/(I  
+ I

TheLT3761isaconstant-frequency,currentmodecontrol-

PWMOUT pin drivers and other chip loads are powered  
state of the PWM comparator. The difference 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 600mV (typical), the SR latch will  
be reset regardless of the PWM comparator. The DIM/SS  
pin will be pulled down and the PWMOUT and GATE pins  
forced low for at least 4µs. These functions are intended  
to protect the power switch as well as various external  
components in the power path of the DC/DC converter.  
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 V pin is high impedance to store the previous  
C
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 negative 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

the switch current will increase; if FB is higher than the

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

under normal operating conditions the appropriate loop is

Two LED specific functions featured on the LT3761 are  
controlled by the voltage feedback pin. First, when the  
FB pin exceeds a voltage 50mV lower (–4%) than the FB  
regulationvoltage, andthedifferencevoltagebetweenISP  
and ISN is below 25mV (typical), the pull-down driver on  
the OPENLED pin is activated. This function provides a  
status indicator that the load may be disconnected and  
the constant-voltage feedback loop is taking control of the  
switchingregulator.TheOPENLEDpinde-assertsonlywhen  
PWM is high and FB drops below the voltage threshold. FB  
overvoltage is the second protective function. When the  
FB pin exceeds the FB regulation voltage by 60mV (plus  
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.  
Through this repetitive action, the PWM control algorithm  
establishes a switch duty cycle to regulate a current or  
voltage in the load. The V signal is integrated over many  
C
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 cur-  
rent in regulation. If the error amplifier output increases,  
more current is demanded in the switch; if it decreases,  
lesscurrentisdemanded. Theswitchcurrentismonitored  
during the on-phase and the voltage across the SENSE

case of GND sensing is the inverting converter shown in  
the applications where the LED current is sensed in the

allows the LED anode to be grounded for heat sinking. In

load. The action threshold (V  
> 600mV, typical) is  
ISP-ISN  
above the default LED current sense threshold, so that  
no interference will occur with current regulation. This  
feature acts in the same manner as switch current limit:  
it prevents switch turn-on until the ISP/ISN difference  
falls below the threshold. Exceeding the threshold also  
activates a pull-down on the SS and PWM pins and causes  
the GATE and PWMOUT pins to be driven low for at least  
4µs. If an overcurrent condition is sensed at ISP/ISN and  
the PWM pin is configured either to make an internal  
dimming signal, or for always-on operation as shown in  
the application titled Boost LED Driver with Output Short  
Protection, then the LT3761 will enter a hiccup mode of  
operation. In this mode, after the initial response to the  
fault, the PWMOUT pin re-enables the output switch at an  
interval set by the capacitor on the PWM pin. If the fault  
is still present, the PWMOUT pin will go low after a short  
delay (typically 7µs) and turn off the output switch. This  
fault-retry sequence continues until the fault is no longer  
present in the output.  
A low duty cycle PWM signal can cause excessive start-up  
timesifitwereallowedtointerruptthesoft-startsequence.  
Therefore, once start-up is initiated by PWM > 1.3V, it will  
ignore a logical disable by the external PWM input signal.  
The device will continue to soft-start with switching and  
PWMOUT enabled until either the voltage at SS reaches  
the 1V level, or the output current reaches one-tenth of  
the full-scale current. At this point the device will begin  
following the dimming control as designated by PWM.  
Disconnect Switch Selection  
An NMOS in series with the LED string at the cathode is  
recommended in most LT3761 applications to improve  
the PWM dimming. The NMOS BV  
rating should be as

rating should be higher than the maximum LED current.  
There are two methods to control the current source for  
dimming using the LT3761. 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  
A PMOS high side disconnect is needed for buck mode,  
buck-boost mode or an output short circuit protected  
boost. A level shift to drive the PMOS switch is shown  
in the application schematic Boost LED Driver with Out-  
put Short Circuit Protection. In the case of a high side  
disconnect follow the same guidelines as for the NMOS  
regarding voltage and current ratings. It is important to  
include a bypass diode to GND at the drain of the PMOS  
switch to ensure that the voltage rating of this switch is  
not exceeded during transient fault events.

Figure 4. PWMOUT Duty Ratio vs DIM Voltage for RDIM = 124k  
Internally generated pull-up and pull-down currents on  
the PWM pin are used to charge and discharge its capaci-  
tor between the high and low thresholds to generate the  
duty cycle signal. These current signals on the PWM pin  
are small enough so they can be easily overdriven by a  
digital signal from a microcontroller to obtain very high  
dimming performance. The practical minimum duty cycle  
using the internal signal generator is about 4% if the DIM/  
SS pin is used to adjust the dimming ratio. Consult the  
factory for techniques for and limitations of generating a  
duty ratio less than 4% using the internal generator. For  
always on operation, the PWM pin should be connected  
as shown in the application Boost LED Driver with Output  
Short Protection.  
Duty Cycle Considerations  
Switching duty cycle is a key variable defining converter  
operation, therefore, its limits must be considered when  
programming the switching frequency for a particular ap-  
plication. The minimum duty cycle of the switch is limited  
bythefixedminimumon-timeandtheswitchingfrequency  
(f ). The maximum duty cycle of the switch is limited  
SW  
by the fixed minimum off-time and f . The following

Thermal Considerations  
Open LED Reporting – Constant Voltage Regulation  
Status Pin  
The LT3761 is rated to a maximum input voltage of 60V.  
Careful attention must be paid to the internal power dis-  
sipation of the IC at higher input voltages to ensure that a  
junction temperature of 125°C (150°C for H-grade) is not  
exceeded. This junction limit is especially important when  
operatingathighambienttemperatures.IfLT3761junction

after device temperature is reduced 10°C. This function is  
intended to protect the device during momentary thermal  
overload conditions.

that pulls low when the FB pin is within 50mV of its 1.25V  
regulated voltage AND output current sensed by V

For monitoring the LED string voltage, if the open LED  
clamp voltage is programmed correctly using the FB  
resistor divider then the FB pin should not exceed 1.18V  
when LEDs are connected. If the OPENLED pulldown is  
asserted and the PWM pin transitions low, the pulldown  
will continue to be asserted until the next rising edge of  
PWM even if FB falls below the OPENLED threshold.  
Therefore, a 10μF capacitor is an appropriate selection  
for a 400kHz boost regulator with 12V input, 48V output

Input Capacitor Selection  
Theinputcapacitorsuppliesthetransientinputcurrentfor  
the power inductor of the converter and must be placed  
andsizedaccordingtothetransientcurrentrequirements.  
Theswitchingfrequency,outputcurrentandtolerableinput  
voltage ripple are key inputs to estimating the capacitor  
value. An X7R type ceramic capacitor is usually the best  
choicesinceithastheleastvariationwithtemperatureand  
DC bias. Typically, boost and SEPIC converters require a  
lower value capacitor than a buck mode converter. As-  
suming that a 100mV input voltage ripple is acceptable,  
the required capacitor value for a boost converter can be  
estimated as follows:  
Output Capacitor Selection  
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 X7R type ceramic capacitors 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.
