60V Synchronous Boost LED Controller
Description
AI
The LT3762 is a synchronous DC/DC controller designed to operate as a constant-current source and constant-voltage regulator. It features a programmable internal PWM dimming signal generator and a synchronous gate driver. The LT3762 is ideally suited for driving high current LEDs with high efficiency and reduced power loss. Rail-to-rail switch current sensing enables synchronous boost topologies and nonsynchronous topologies such as SEPIC. A voltage feedback pin serves as the input for several LED protection features and also allows 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 and external component size. Adding a capacitor at SSFM pin activates the Spread-Spectrum Modulation feature to reduce EMI. The LT3762 also includes an integrated DC/DC converter to efficiently produce a regulated 7.5V supply for the N-channel MOSFET gate drivers. The PWM pin controls PWMTG to drive the P-channel MOSFET, allowing a high PWM dimming range (3000:1) and providing LED overcurrent protection and short-circuit protected boost capability.ApplicationsIndustrial and Automotive LightingAccurate Current-Limited Voltage Regulators
