LT3595A 16 Channel Buck Mode LED Driver FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 4.5V to 45V Input Supply Range The LT®3595A is a high performance LED Driver designed n Up to 50mA LED Current per Channel to drive sixteen independent channels of up to 10 LEDs n 100mA, 45V Internal Switches at currents up to 50mA. Series connection of the LEDs n Improvements vs LT3595 provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform bright- Pinout Allows 1-Sided PCB Layout ness. Power switches, Schottky diodes, and compensation Higher Maximum Switch Duty Cycle components are all internal, providing a small converter LED Current Accuracy (7% vs 8%) footprint and lower component cost. The high 2MHz ±4% LED Current Matching switching frequency permits the use of tiny, low profi le n 16 Independent LED Channels inductors and capacitors. A fi xed frequency, current mode n 5000:1 True Color PWMTM Dimming Range architecture results in stable operation over a wide range n LEDs Disconnected in Shutdown of supply and output voltage. n Internal Schottky Diodes A single external resistor sets the LED current for all sixteen n 2MHz Switching Frequency channels, and dimming is then controlled for each chan- n RSET Pin Sets Master LED Current nel by pulse width modulating the individual PWM pins. n Typical Effi ciency: 92% LED current accuracy is 7%, channel-to-channel current n Open LED Detection and Thermal Protection matching is ±4% and the PWM dimming range is 5000:1. n 56-Pin 5mm × 9mm × 0.75mm QFN Package The part is available in a 5mm × 9mm × 0.75mm 56-pin QFN package.
