LTM8042/LTM8042-1 µModule Boost LED Driver and Current Source FEATURESDESCRIPTION n True Color PWM™ with 3000:1 Dimming Ratio The LTM®8042 is a complete µModule® Boost LED Driver n Operates in Boost, Buck Mode or Buck-Boost Mode specifically designed to drive LEDs up to 1A, while the n Wide Input Voltage Range: LTM8042-1 drives up to 350mA. It combines a boost Operation from 3V to 30V power topology with a unique current loop to operate as Transient Protection to 40V a constant-current source. The PWM input provides as n Gate Driver for Optional PWM Dimming with much as 3000:1 LED dimming, while 10:1 analog dimming P-channel MOSFET can be accomplished by a single resistor or analog voltage n Adjustable Frequency: 250kHz to 2MHz applied to the CTL pin. As with any boost topology, the n Constant-Current and Constant-Voltage Regulation LTM8042/LTM8042-1 has an uninterrupted current path n Low Shutdown Current: <1μA between its input and output and is thus intolerant to a n RoHS Compliant Package with Gold Pad Finish short-circuit or overload from the output to ground. n Tiny, Low Profile (9mm × 15mm × 2.82mm) # WHITE LEDSLED CURRENT12VIN24VIN Surface Mount LGA Package 6 1A LTM8042 7 350mA LTM8042-1 APPLICATIONS 8 1A LTM8042 n 9 350mA LTM8042-1 Display Backlighting n Automotive and Avionic Lighting The LTM8042/LTM8042-1 is packaged in a thermally n Illumination enhanced, compact overmolded land grid array (LGA) n Scanners package.
