LTC3783 PWM LED Driver and Boost, Flyback and SEPIC Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n True Color PWM TM Delivers Constant Color with The LTC®3783 is a current mode LED driver and boost, 3000:1 Dimming Ratio flyback and SEPIC controller that drives both an N-channel n Fully Integrated Load FET Driver for PWM Dimming power MOSFET and an N-channel load PWM switch. When Control of High Power LEDs using an external load switch, the PWMIN input not only n 100:1 Dimming from Analog Inputs drives PWMOUT, but also enables controller GATE switch- n Wide FB Voltage Range: 0V to 1.23V ing and error amplifier operation, allowing the controller n Constant Current or Constant Voltage Regulation to store load current information while PWMIN is low. n Low Shutdown Current: IQ = 20µA This feature (patent pending) provides extremely fast, n 1% 1.23V Internal Voltage Reference true PWM load switching with no transient overvoltage n 2% RUN Pin Threshold with 100mV Hysteresis or undervoltage issues; LED dimming ratios of 3000:1 n Programmable Operating Frequency can be achieved digitally, avoiding the color shift normally (20kHz to 1MHz) with One External Resistor associated with LED current dimming. The FBP pin allows n Synchronizable to an External Clock Up to 1.3fOSC analog dimming of load current, further increasing the n Internal 7V Low Dropout Voltage Regulator effective dimming ratio by 100:1 over PWM alone. n Programmable Output Overvoltage Protection In applications where output load current must be returned n Programmable Soft-Start TM to VIN, optional constant current/constant voltage regula- n Can be Used in a No RSENSE Mode for VDS < 36V tion controls either output (or input) current or output n 16-Lead DFN and TSSOP Packages voltage and provides a limit for the other. ILIM provides a APPLICATIONS 10:1 analog dimming ratio. n For low- to medium-power applications, No RSENSE mode High Voltage LED Arrays n can utilize the power MOSFET’s on-resistance to eliminate Telecom Power Supplies n the current-sense resistor, thereby maximizing efficiency. 42V Automotive Systems n 24V Industrial Controls The IC’s operating frequency can be set with an external n IP Phone Power Supplies resistor over a 20kHz to 1MHz range and can be synchro- nized to an external clock using the SYNC pin. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
